One of the first multi-processor arcade games. I seem to remember it had its own second 68000 (possibly 68020? details are vague) for the VR aspect. It was also the first driving simulator to use polygon graphics. Also used Atari's wonderful POKEY synthesiser chip for audio.
I think I have the rather dull ST version somewhere. The Amiga version was probably better (I know, I was an ST fanboy, still am in many ways) what with the Copper effects and hardware sprites and whatnot.
The Lynx version was awesome for such a small machine, tho.

...but apart from using a 6502 or Z80 for the game logic and using a Texas TI9918 video chip, or having a POKEY for sound and controllers, there weren't many true multi-processor designs before Hard Drivin;. which IIRC had a dedicated 68K-series chip just for the graphics/VR stuff.

the typical setup by the mid 80's was one cpu for the game and another to control audio hardware, which would typically consist of pcm + fm
as far as I'm aware the first rasterised polygon machine was by atari and used 2 6502's + the famous mathbox 84/85 or that I think
68k's started appearing in arcade machines round about the same time too
and multiple 68k machines were common by the end of the 80's
I think hard driving just used a 68k generically as all atari machines did by then and relied on a dsp board + the tms340xx for the graphics

In the same way I suppose, that the Jaguar had a 16MHz 68K on board.
Officially, it was because many Atari (and Sega, Mac and even Amiga) developers were already highly familiar with the 68000 it provided a familiar starting point and coding envronment, while the custom 32-bit RISC processors ("Tom" and "Jerry", for some licensing reasons) could handle all the audio and graphics, many developers used the 68K for familiar and well-established purposes like controlling AI and whatnot.
In a 1994 interview, Darryl Still (Head of Atari UK marketing) maintained that the 68000 in the Jaguar was "...there to read the Joystick ports."

unfortunately before the days of the internet all we had to go on was drivel written in magazines, and people in marketing well... they "say things" that's never going to change
remember, the megadrive had "blast processing" whatever the hell that was meant to be :D
oh.. there was some computer back in the day sold as having 65K of ram! because you know.. 65536 bytes....
world of bollocks :D
jaguar died before it's time, as did other stuff
would be nice to see what kind of serious abuse some of the fell by the wayside gear can really do

Whilst all this bollocks was being written ( and read by the likes of you and I ) The Amiga just quietly got on with doing it properly.
True multi-tasking and dedicated chip architecture. Pains me still to see how the best thing that could have happened in home computing was so spectacularly fucked up.
Imagine a RISC based Amiga today running any OS you throw at it with a fraction of the clock cycles needed by today's monsters.
ah *nostalgias*

...PowerPC based accelerators for the amiga, and the AmigaOne motherboard had G3 and G4 options.
I never had an Amiga until recently, my folks bought me an STe back in 1993 (and my dad had been using an ST since 1986) and I've got loads now, I even have a Falcon030 (with DSP for 50KHz 16-bit hardware audio sampling and real-time filters). But I was always impressed by my mate's Amiga 1200, with its stock 12MHz clock but built in IDE interface and HAM-8 mode. And that multi-tasking has yet to be bettered by modern hardware and software.
Even the Amiga's OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets have their roots in the Atari 400/800 design, with the TIA/GTIA chip and Player/Missile graphics (crude hardware sprites) ... the GTIA was a dedicated CPU in its own right (well, not CPU by definition, but at least a co-processor) with its own assembly language (Display Lists) which meant you could mix two or three different screen resolutions, trivially - High res score / health displays, with a low-res high-colour (up to 127 colours per screen) playfield in the middle... And the POKEY chip, while not quite a full analogue synthesiser-on-a-chip like the four-year later SID chip, was a good sounding four channel (opposed to the SID's three channels) square-wave + noise chip.

Jaguar Demos exist, but were always limited because the decryption codes for Jaguar ROMs was only released fairly recently.
Songbird productions are producing some new Jaguar games, like Battlesphere.
Also: www.dhs.nu - one of my favourite Atari hang-outs - just check out some of the intros/demos that are being put out for Stock falcons - Sure, there's the CenTurbo 68060 accelerator, and 68882 upgraded falcons, but there's loads of stuff for stock falcons, and even stock STs from 1985, doing bump-mapping and textured tunnels and whatnot? At 8MHz and only a 16/512 colour palette, with audio as well (the ym2149 was never great at playing samples, although the STE fixed this)... bloody amazing stuff.

Hi Jahled
I almost never send out these emails, but I wanted to let you know about something huge that's going on at Worth1000 now. As you might already know, Worth1000 is a contest site primarily dedicated to Photoshopping images.
Over the 7 years since Worth1000 launched, I have been asked by thousands of people who viewed our Photoshop contests: How do I make images like the amazing Worth1000 entries?
Most were asking because traditional desktop software was simply too expensive or hard to learn. Seriously, $2,000 for editing tools?! It was time for a change. I decided it was my responsibility to the awesome design community at Worth1000 to be the one to do it.
So, I created Aviary
Aviary, is a suite of free design tools. Now anyone with internet access can use them without installing anything. You just need to visit Aviary and you're all set.
Aviary should be enough for anyone to get started making some really amazing images (and other types of media). Aviary also allows you to share and work on files with other people in the Aviary community, which makes it even easier to learn.
So far we have released 4 applications into public beta, with many more planned:
- Phoenix: an image editor (similar to Adobe Photoshop / Gimp)
- Raven: a vector editor (useful for logos / and clothing design)
- Toucan: a color editor
- Peacock: an effects editor
We even created an entire free education center where people can learn how to make awesome effects!
If you enjoyed Worth1000, I hope you'll also take the time to try out Aviary
At the very least, I encourage you to let anyone interested in image editing to know about it. Feel free to forward this email to a friend.
The more people that try out our software, the less big corporations will be able to charge to use their software! In a time. when every penny counts, this is vitally important to keeping art software affordable for artists of all ages. Together, we can make a difference.
Here's a special page for Worth1000 users only:
