Inspired by a thread below, I've just downloaded WinUAE and Cannon Fodder - man, that is STILL a great game. Any other Amiga gaming fans in the room ? 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

As long as i can get the Dizzy series of games, i'll be downloading that emulator again. Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk - ah, now there's a game.:) Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter! Sonork ID 100.10024

I just got Oh No, More Lemmings. I've been trying to find Worms, to see how it stacks to the PC version we play every lunchtime. Shadow of the Beast, North & South, Xenon, Paradroid, Wizball ( I think there was an Amiga version ), Silkworm, Elite, Supremacy..... I don't have time for this... ;-) 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

Didn't Oh No, More Lemmings have that supurb (for an amiga) intro sequence with the lemmings and the Hot Air Balloon? That managed to crash my amiga every time... I had worms the day it first came out, on the Amiga. Then i remember having my first P.C, and i remember how dissapointed i was when i didn't have the specs to play Worms 2...

Oh yeah! What about Populous, Interceptor, Stunt Car Racer, Formula One Grand Prix, Indy 500, Kick Off, Speedball, Frontier, Xenon 2, Sentinel... Oh dear. ------------------------ Derek Waters derek@lj-oz.com

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.

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.

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

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

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