Are you sure about that? It was running decently on Amiga 500, I would expect it would run much faster on A1200 hardware (including the CD32)

Ok, it drops to 1fps, normal AGA Wing Commander framerate is around 3-6fps https://youtu.be/n5wXmeI8w9k?t=479. A500 is ~2-6fps https://youtu.be/iR1Nc4hLKq4?t=936 ? and this was full 25pount/$50 retail release game with 85-90% ratings, simply amazing :o
