Amiga games ( those were the days )

Simon Walton

What about the Wonder Boy series of games? I had all of them. Firstly on the Sega Master System (Aww, why did i sell that), and then on my Amiga. Oh! And Asterix! That was an amazing game. It's a pity i never got into Peter Moleneux's masterpiece Populous. It took until this year when Black & White came out to appreciate his ideas. Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter!

Oh Baby!!! I LOVED the Amiga... every so often I get an attack of nostalgia and get the old beast out, if only to play Monkey Island. My favourite games were; o Monkey Island o Goblins o The Lost Vikings o Superfrog - Oh Man That Was Good! o and some others I can't think of now... -- Andrew.

The Lost Vikings RULED. How about Fire & Ice or Gods ? Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

I really enjoyed several of the "SSG" games on the Amiga "Russia" "Europe Ablaze" "Carriers At War" "Rommel" I have been trying to find "Russia" in various abondonwarez sites, but it was obviously not popular, as it seems to have disappeared without trace. I even contacted SSG, but they not only don't have a copy of the game, they don't even have the source code anymore! So it's really abandoned!! And of course "Civilisation" - it just 'felt' better on an Amiga than a PC. ----------------------------- "I leave no turn un-stoned." - John Simmons, Nov 6 2001 -----------------------------

Stunt Car Racer. Now there was a fun game. Never found a racing game that beat it. Michael :-)

The C64 version of Paradroid was much better (from memory). It scrolled bother horizontally and vertically, but the Amiga one only scrolled in one direction... Have fun, Paul Westcott.

Christian Graus

Not true. I downloaded and played the AMiga Paradriod and I'm certain it scrolled in every direction. It really didn't *add* to the C64 version, which was somehow a bit more playable, but I don't think the differences were that major, more of a 'feel' thing. Now I've said that I'm sure I'll fire it up again tomorrow (don't have it here ) and find it only scrolls one way....

I never owned an Amiga, though my brother did. I stayed with the ZX Spectrum right to the bitter end. And believe it or not a version of Lemmings was released for it too! One question, where can I find WinUAE and the games to go with it? The last time I went looking I couldn't find any (most of the sites were gone or empty). Thanks Graham

Christian Graus

To be honest I just fired up google, and all the URL's I bookmarked are at work. Just search for 'WinUAE download', then search for 'Kickstart Winuae download', and finally search for 'WinUAE download' If you don't find anything LMK and I'll send you some URL's from work.

Anybody else remember BLAZEMONGER, the fastest Amiga game [n]ever written?

The RAW SPEED of BLAZEMONGER is so WILDLY INTENSE that nobody has EVER beaten this game. You will literally feel WIND AGAINST YOUR FACE as the images WHIP past your glazed eyes. The average player dies in FIFTEEN DIFFERENT WAYS before he can even PLUG IN THE JOYSTICK!!! The best-known high score is in the NEGATIVES!!!

:) ;) ;P

Steve Hopkins

The amiga was good, But the PocketPC ZX Spectrum emulator is much cooler!

Graham Douglas

Thanks! My search was much more successful this time! :) Now to find me some games! Thanks again Graham

Simon Walton

Ahh, the monkey island trilogy. Monkey Island 2 was the best. 11 disks, you had to lay them out in front of you and switch them every scene. Thank god i bought that second disk drive.:) Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter! Sonork ID 100.10024

Now that's a game.... When I was a kid games were so easy you could beat the high score blindfolded and playing with your toes. X| "Insert coin to continue...5...4...3...2...1...Game Over"

Seconded!! -- Andrew.
