Zathras Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I wish I could go back in time and tell myself "DON'T SELL YOUR AMIGA!" but nooooo I just had to have that new fandangled PC with a CD-Rom drive so I could play the "Seventh Guest." The Amiga just had so many good games and the graphics were so far ahead of their times. Thinking about it it was kind of like the Xbox now - whenever you saw a magazine ad for a game it was just about always the Amiga version pictured. It still astonishes me that most of them were on what - 2 disks maybe 3. And you could use Genesis control pads (one of my favorite all time controllers). sniff sniff Amiga I hardley knew ye. . . . Sword of Sodan with your HUGE characters. Space Ace/Dragons Lair so close to the arcade it was amazing, but what was more shocking was the instantaneous load times - I don't know how they did it but as soon as you clicked the disc in it just started.... Psygnosis games with their rocking intros. Was anyone else an Amigaphile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 ooh, yes. A1200 sitting upstairs, in fact. Best version of Marble Madness anywhere, best version of Worms (the Directors Cut), and Spindizzy Worlds is a serious contender for my all time fave list.

Zathras Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I had an Amiga 500 with the external dual drive and a Bodega Bay expansion case - Never had anything in it but my powersupply died and it was cheaper to buy the Bodega Bay than a new powersupply.

iainl Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Oddly, no - Classic Gaming seems to suggest its just Amidar in 3D. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I don't know Amidar, but it probably was derivative of something else. I just remember the Amiga version being a helluva lot of fun, especially if you're playing it 2-player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
