Mine certainly isn't standard. My RAM is maxed out (36MBytes) and I have a Matrix true-colour graphics card. Also, it's in a 4-foot tower case.
I've had some more luck playing old ST games, using a program called B030. It basically emulates an STE, so I've been able to get some very stubborn games (Dungeon Master, Wizball, Stunt Car Racer etc) working on my TT.
SubStation doesn't work, not because I don't have a Blitter, but because I'm using an SVGA monitor (from an Acorn machine, of all places) and the first thing SubS does when you run it is put your monitor into 50Hz synch. My monitor just shuts off. If there was some way of running my TT with my SC1435 monitor, I would be most happy.
One game that runs fine anyway on the TT is Frontier: Elite ][. It's speed ajusted for the TT, so the game feels the same, but has a faster frame rate. Another weird thing - all the star-names on the ST would be random algorithm-generated type, like CD-453 334 degrees or somesuch, but on the TT (and this is with EXACTLY the same binary - it was even running from the same hard disc as with my STE at one point) they are translated into more meaningful names like 'morliana' instead. And it looks cool on a 32MHz machine - way smoother than an equivelant PC. But didn't we expect that?
