I do not own BltzMax,but what i have seen so far buying a £200 graphics card just use max3d,is way to much for me.
?
You should be able to buy a 9800 gt for just over (maybe even under now?) 100$ usd, which pretty much runs any modern game near max settings (crysis, farcry,etc). Not to mention, max3d doesn't require anything like that and minib3d should run on the same specs as b3d.
I have played around with both b3d, and blitzmax + minib3d, and unlike b3d, there's source, and updates applied the minib3d, not to mention the nice little feature of cross-platformability.
Max3d...uh, maybe check back on it in a couple years lol.
