I loved rainbow island, bubble bobble, california games.

Also loved settlers and still do.. got oringal in box with everything there.


Choas Engine is a impressive oringal you get these card things for each char in the game and stuff.

Awesome stuff.

[quote="Kubrick"]Anyone remember a Defender clone called Datastorm? That was class [quote]

I recieved Datastorm with my computer along with about twenty other games like Squeak, Driving force, Grand Monster Slam and others from a mail order company along with the Screen gems package and TMNT the NES game.

Datastorm is like Defender on ****ing LSD mixed in with a cocktail of anabolic steroids and other such substances.. It's easily the most impressive varaiant I have ever played of the original

[Afterbirth]

I remember getting Starray with my Amiga, that too was like defender, only not as hectic.

[Kubrick]

Datastorm is like Defender on ****ing LSD

Yeah, that's about it in a nutshell

[Papercut]

Datastorm was a freebie that came with my Amiga 500 from Gordon Harwoods.

I absolutely loathed it, but loved Dropzone on the C64 four years earlier.

[Under the Bed]

I loved Bomb Jack and Sensible Soccer.

As someone alread said Ikari Warriors was class in two player mode(i never finished the beast either, one tough game). I got IK for the NES and was gutted at how piss poor it looked and played.

[sininc]

I had a hell of a lot of Amiga Faves.

Deluxe Galaga
SWOS
Elite 2,
Civilization,
Champ Manager,
Premier Mnager 2
Alien Breed
Cannon Fodder,
Worms,
Sensible Golf,
Wizkid,
Xenon 2 the list could go on.

I think all Amiga users new an "Amiga Man" at one point, he probably now makes his money selling PS1 or 2 copies and putting mod chips in consoles lol.

At that age\time (I was about 10 when I first got an Amiga) people didnt worry about piracy like the do now, but it did feature heavily in magazines after a little while, and if memory serves me correctly was the reason DMA design stopped making GTA for the Amiga did it on the PC instead

Nice, an Amiga thread...
Yeah, I still have mine, in mint condition. I still dig it out every now and then to play. It mostly just gathers dust in my room, but NO WAY am i getting rid of it. (well, maybe if I got good money for it)
Some of my favourites:

Turrican 3 - the only one of the Turrican series I owned. This one was originally meant for the SNES or MD or something, so I heard. Not suprising, as it uses lots of "mode7" effects and has great music. I think it's one of few Amiga games that you can play in Dolby Surround. Loved the anime-style intro and ending too. Only comes on one disk too, not bad considering it's one of the better-looking Amiga games.


Virocop - this one was a later Amiga game by Renegade and the Bitmap Bros. You'd play an R2-D2-like robot called D.A.V.E. and roam around large levels, battling viruses inside various computer games with numerous weapons, which could be bought at an end of level shop. There were some great levels in this - the Cannon Fodder inspired one comes to mind, along with some great boss battles. Some of the Chaos Engine cast cameo, as well as the Fire and Ice main character. Top game.


SWIV - top shootemup. 2 players could team up as a helicopter and jeep and take out enemies in the air and on the ground. The jeep could fire in multiple directions, but was more vulnerable than the helicopter, which meant you'd have to cover eachother. Great title music, shame there was none ingame, though the sound effects are pretty cool.


Switch Blade - great little platform adventure. You'd be exploring a huge underground base, looking for fragments of the titular blade, while fighting enemies hand to hand, as well as with a variety of fireable weapons. I never managed to finish this, cos it was huge. Good fun though, similar to Rick Dangerous though more forgiving, as you had a lifebar.

SWIV...forgot all about that, great game. It's predecessor "Silkworm" was also great.
