Blessed those among us that lived the Amiga era of gaming. So many great games!
You caught me ! The first time I saw an A500, I was still rocking my ZX spectrum.. and of course it was instant jealousy..
In around 91' we had a 386sx PC at home, and I was still jealous about my best friend's Amiga.
Although through the next years the PC revealed itself being a more capable gaming machine than the amiga, specially for 3D games, if you had a svga card, HD, etc.. the Amiga was special and I would eventually get one later. For me Amiga was the "Golden system" of a "Golden Era".
Yeah, I left my Amiga behind around 1994, when I got my IBM PS/1 486 DX2 66 MHz.
Cheers, mate! Thanks for sharing your memories!
The Amiga was an absolute powerhouse. Games had an energy that you just didn't get on other platforms, especially Darkmere; I adore the atmosphere in that game.
Nonsense. The Amiga was a second-rate gaming platform. It had the Euro developers but all the great gaming IP at the time was owned by Japanese companies and the consoles had by far the most popular titles worldwide, including Zelda, Sonic and Mario, and some of the best games which have ever been written.
Yeah compared with ST maybe which is not really designd for games.
@@bangerbangerbro
Yes exactly. "Better, but also at least proportionally more expensive, than an ST, for games". Sums up the Amiga's position in the market.
@@IvanSorensen PC-style games is where the Amiga shines. Arcade ports etc usually fall flat on their face due to bloody awful controls, and US Gold...
@@IvanSorensen The A500 should have used the 2 button joystick as standard. Would have improved things so, so much.
So nice to see RodLand make an appearance - such an underrated game. Nearly 30 decades later I still have the theme tune as the ring tone on my phone 😂
the Amiga actually made the other computer platforms struggle to catch up.. for years they tried to push the idea that "serious computers" shouldn't use a lot of color or sound.. and deep graphic power was not useful for anything but games.. They were of course wrong and the Amiga made them eat those words.
A few additions to this excellent list: Typhoon Thompson, Wings of Fury, Warhead, Unreal, Space Hulk, Uridium 2, Superfrog, No Second Prize, Putty, Cruise for a Corpse, Dreamweb, The Sentinel, Wings, Stardust, Goal, Toki, Crazy Cars 3, Vaxine, Resolution 101, Thunderhawk, Premiere, Transplant, Microbes, Seek and Destroy, Syndicate, D/Generation, Switchblade... I could go on.
I would also add to your excellent list: Kick Connection, Fighters 2, Killer Kosner, Geist, Civilization:Advanced, Military Bison, Streets of Evermore, Final Arcade, Easy Free, U-boat Tactics, Firestormers, Uuchalyptus, Uncharted Lies, Trivia Masters, Even Stephen's Bass Fishing. Simulation, Top Gun Juniors, L.A.Retribution.
Nice wrap up! A few of those I had no idea that they even existed! The animation and detail on Banshee and Odyssey, for example, are simply amazing! And Darkmere too! Cheers and keep up the amazing work!
Anything Amiga I’m all in 👊🏻😁🍻🍻
Appreciate the support! :)
Cheers, mate!
So many good games, Fury of the Furries, Banshee, Lionheart, Qwak, Apidya, Ruff ‘n Tumble, all still so playable.
Right? :) I noticed that your icon is one of the tinies from Fury of the Furries. Have you watched my video exclusively dedicated to it? Here's the link: czcams.com/video/6Qmd95HUMn8/video.html
@@itsaPIXELthing I have not. Excellent, I'll give it a watch now.
As a 33yo american I have no experience with the amiga but I find it so fascinating and cool I really want to get my hands on one someday
Appreciate that! :)
Thanks for stopping by, for watching and for leaving your comment!
Take care!
Get the Amiga mini! I’m here looking for things to add to mine.
Your Amiga videos always highlight great games I missed and need to look up! Thanks!
My pleasure, Lucas! Take care!
I had a Spectrum 48+ ... for me the Amiga was like a god of Olympus. I really liked the last two videos.
Appreciate your feedback, Charles!
Cheers!
Another great video on the Amiga.
About half this games are just new to me. Thanx.
In 1988, when full steaming on ZX48k, still remember the first time I saw an A500 at a friend's house, it was running Saint Dragon. I became so confused... How could that be possible!? A home computer running a hot arcade title of the time, at that high level of conversion! The same later, with Silk Worm.
Later in 1992 I became a proud A1200 owner, bought at SilicaSystems, Tottenham Court Road, London. This time my favorites became Frontier, Syndicate, Chaos Engine, F-15 Strike Eagle 2 and Pinball Fantasies.
Cheers 🍺
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing those memories of yours! Never owned an A1200 back in the day! What a dream machine!
Thanks for watching, Ricardo! Take care!
I had an Atari ST 520 and it was an amazing computer for games but Amiga was even better comparing most of games for these two wonderful machines. Another extraordinary video, portuguese friend. Greetings from Portugal. 😊🇵🇹🕹️
Obrigado por assistires e deixares o teu comentário, João! Fico feliz por teres gostado do vídeo!
Abraço!
The thing that made Amiga so unique is that it also had the most ambitious and sophisticated games including strategy, RPG, management, crossover games. It allowed ambitious gamemakers to go crazy with ideas never seen before. It also provided a serious amount of tools like programing environments, graphics and sound editing software that made the system a workstation for creative people.
I loved my Amiga 500 (like my C64 before it). I used it right up until I upgraded to PC in the mid-90's, so I recognize a lot of the titles presented and they gave me nostalgia feels. I recently bought the Amiga Forever software for ease of use and have been having a blast going through what I remember owning. Your list added a number of others I'd forgotten. Cheers.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Take care!
Fantastic to see Fury of the Furies and Qwak here; fond memories of them both. I only have a small Amiga collection so there were many games here I haven't played but so many of them looked wonderful and were wonderfully detailed by you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video! :)
Take care! Have a great weekend!
Monkey island 1 2 &3 , Falcon, F29 retaliator, Batman, Blood Money, Eye of The Beholder, Dungeon Master, the machine when properly equipped was pretty versatile, the usefulness of a dynamic ram disk was something I really missed after moving to the PC - I also ran a BBS starting on an A2000 then later an A4000 for quite a few years,
Oh, man! The A4000! What a machine! :) Thanks for sharing that, Andy! And amazing games you pointed out!
Cheers! All the best!
Falcon! I would love the chance to play head-to-head via null modem cable again. I did that once with 2 Atari STs. I'd love to do the same with an ST, Amiga, or PC, and any combination thereof. Actually, only the PC to see how different it might play with an analog joystick. Otherwise, strictly Amiga and ST.
Blood money is most definitely my fav smup ever. Great music too.
I never had an Amiga as a kid and I was so jealous of the games my friends had, thanks for this great compilation. People don't understand just how ahead of it's time these games were.
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving your comment, Ryan. Appreciate it!
Take care!
Another great collection! Thank you very much! 😎 Just keep 'em comin!
Thank You :)
Great video. I played anything back in the days on Amiga, but i need to refresh memory a bit with these videos. :)
Have fun! :)
@@itsaPIXELthing Thank you. I recently bought Amiga 500 Mini, and i need more games and also old scene demos on it. :)
Crazy how an American-made system like the Amiga was never that popular in it's home territory to the level it was in Europe.
Seriously? In Japan? Wow!
Indeed ;)
@@itsaPIXELthing The best games for the platform weren't even released over here! XD
Things would've been much different had Atari Inc survived and released the Amiga Lorraine chipset as the "Mickey" 16-bit console for Christmas 1985 as originally planned...
Cool all of these lists all games I've already seen or played before, but you showed several I've not seen before.
Nice to know! Appreciate it!
What a great video - thanks for making it! My personal favourite, which also happens to be an Amiga exclusive if I remember correctly, is the incomparable Moonstone.
My pleasure! Thank you! Yeah, Moonstone was something else 😀 feel free to watch my other Amiga related videos!
Exellent video!! What a lot of great games! I enjoy it from beginning to end. Congratulations and thanks!
Thanks for watching! :)
A nice look back over your extensive catalogue of Amiga reviews. Hope you are keeping well.
Thanks for the support, Jim! Appreciate it!
Take care!
I went from a Sega mastersystem to an a500. I remember at the time thinking games couldn't possibly get better.
Virocop , Lionheart and Lotus esprit turbo challenge are all in my top from this list , but my #1 is : STUNT CAR RACER !!!! What an absolutely fantastic game. If you can programme pixels to make the players stomach and balance react , then you have succeded. Great video !!!
Indeed, Roger! Great description! :)
Take care, mate!
As someone who lived in the 90s I couldn't understand why most Western developers couldn't make Megadrive games with good sound, why there was no one who could compete with Yuzo Koshiro and other Japanese composers, it wasn't until years later that I found that the good Western composers where working in the Amiga.
Indeed ;)
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Take care!
name examples where Sega Mega-Drive games didn’t have good audio, music, sound
@@jasonlee7816 There are videos about them, here is one:
czcams.com/video/HtRO-9IyCgk/video.html
I had the ST but you've convinced me, if they ever do a remake of the Amiga like the Next, I'll get an Amiga (as well as the Next)
The guys that made the new c64 are going to do an Amiga this year.
@@pnvgordinho ah thats interesting
Good to know ;)
Personally, I'd like to see a lot of the big games for both platforms remastered for the peak original commercial systems... like supporting AGA graphics on the Amiga and the graphics/sound of the Falcon030 on the "ST" side... and if not for the Falcon030, at least the STe level which was criminally undersupported.
The community has kind of made something like that. One good example is something called the Vampire 4, which basically is a classic amiga in a FPGA, but with more power and features added.
Defender of the Crown and Barbarian also classic titles!
Indeed, they are :) Check my history video on Barbarian: czcams.com/video/kKjWYBq2PVM/video.html
ATR & ATR2 were the most favorite from this list! We've played in these games in a small company of friends. And that was so cool :) Nobody had a computer with a similar game like this nearby.
Interesting, how anyone could rate All Terrain Racing with such low points? It was and is still definitely in the group of one of the best top down racing games there are.
Totally agree. I don't even know how many times I played the whole "career" on Amiga, then twice on UAE, then once again on RetroPie. I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy it exactly the same if I launched it now. This game is superb.
Two words and a number for you: Super Cars 2!!! But yeah ATR was amazing as well
Loving watching these! So nostalgic. Good memories!
Appreciate it, James! Have fun!
Great video. Quite a few that I have heard of but never played. Have to fix that! Thanks.
My pleasure! Thank you!
The Amiga exclusive I played the most was actually a public domain program, IIRC. The Amiga version of Space War was very different from other versions, and generally unusual because it used hires interlaced mode (which, on an AGA machine, would be a very rock solid 640x400 flicker-fixed mode). The thing that made Amiga Space War so different was that your torps had a low muzzle velocity and low range compared to the ship's natural acceleration. You had to use very different tactics, including firing an arc of torps while facing and thrusting AWAY from the enemy.
Anyway, I think that the Amiga games which made others envious were generally not exclusives. In particular, look at the Cinemaware games. Most of them would be ported to other systems, but the graphical inferiority of the ports would just hammer home the superiority of the Amiga hardware (albeit perhaps unfairly).
But honestly? The jealousy direction went the other way after Wing Commander. And after Wolfenstein 3D? After Doom? You already know this. DOS machines were the top dog. The Amiga's 3d graphics games were lame in comparison, and VGA looked better for point-and-click games (which is sad, because Amiga point-and-click games could have looked better with interlaced or HAM modes, or even just using the copper for dynamic palette).
I'm disappointed that we never had any games take advantage of HAM mode. It would work particularly well with pinball games, point-and-click games, and isometric games. I actually started working on a HAM interlaced isometric game starring a "killer ball bearing" (a shiny sphere armed with a battle axe). But I never got further than drawing some graphics in DigiPaint3.
Isaac, thank you so much for your comment! Truly appreciate it! That was a pretty awesome piece of reading :)
Cheers! Take care!
Excelente vídeo! O canal é uma excelente porta de entrada para conhecer várias pérolas de sistemas que acabaram não se popularizando aqui no Brasil, como o Amiga, entre outros. Abraço!
Muito obrigado pelo comentário, Marcos! Tudo de bom!
Abraço!
5:05 "TEN PINTS" 30 years later I still remember it. Not that invincibility is too useful in a game that can be soft-locked in a billion different ways...
You mean envious. Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what you have. Envy is wanting what someone else has.
Loved my amiga growing up before getting lost in all the console madness just got the mini 500 and I love it
The a500 mini is awesome :)
Thanks for stopping by, sir tony!
I'm currently waiting on my brand new A500 Mini coming in from Italy to me in Canada. Super stoked to see what I can add from my entire Amiga collection and beyond.
Nice ;) If you can, check my videos related to the mini.
Wonderful video! Lo e this format!
Appreciate it, Thomas! :)
Take care!
nice collection! Great content!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Very good video!
Really the best ever gaming computer during late 80s and early 90s, thank you for compiling this video, brings back a lot of good old memory :) i also enjoyed ‘gods’, ‘deliverance’, ‘eye of the beholders II’ and many games back then.
Thanks for your feedback!
Take care!
P/XEL - It's a Pixel THING and thank you for researching and showing many retrogaming information. i think i still have many edge magazines and amiga format magazines on my bookshelf. :)
@@zenodyssey My pleasure! :)
Mais um video absolutamente incrivel. Amiga continua a ser uma maquina unica e intemporal de jogos ! Parabens pela ediçao de ouro neste! Grande abraço.
Muito obrigado, Paulo! Grande abraço!
Glad you had Darkmere. It’s one of my favourite Amiga games and in fact of the 90s. Don’t think it gets enough praise. It’s got brilliant atmosphere and kept me engrossed for. Hopefully I’ll find it again one day….lol I’ve already commented.
Something I noticed was the Amiga version of Street fighter 2 had the ground parallex scrolling where the Atari St didn't.
I always felt Moonstone was the envy of console owners
Moonstone was, indeed, incredible :) Such a great game, no doubt!
So many great games on the Amiga!
Thanks for watching!
I loved that game.
@@kipp1231 I still play it regularly, So much nostalgia, The gore and kills where well done for the time
Great amiga games, thank you. I didn't know some of them. I also remember FLashback, Anoher World, Unreal (from Ubi Soft), First and Second Samourai, Ninja Warriors, Stryder, Wolfchild, Supercars II, Jim Power, Leander, The Killing Game Show, Battle Squadron, Xenon II, James Pond, Chaos Engine, Speedball II and Rainbow Island... awesome games too.
Wow! So many great games, indeed! Talked about many of those in other Amiga related videos! Feel free to browse and check them out also! :) For instance, here's the link for my documentary on the Bitmap Brothers, creators of Speedball and Chaos Engine: czcams.com/video/lVTHJRh_iv4/video.html&t
Great list! I LOVE It! 🤩
Thanks for watching, Andres!
Cheers!
Adorei a lista amigo!! Fiquei a conhecer muitos títulos novos! :)
Muito obrigado pelas palavras, Nicole! :)
Very good video, great games. There are a lot of amazing games after year 2000 you can add to the lista, like Metal Gear and soné other new (non official) Konami adaptations to the Amiga
Thanks, Toni! Happy new year!
Arabian nights....i played it back in the days....but i never remembered the name.....thx for this...😀👍
My pleasure, mate! :)
Take care!
Awsome work my friend 👌😃
Thanks, Stu! Appreciate it!
Good selection. I would also add B.C.Kid...
Nice games compilation missing a few classics for me like Myth /Cannon Fodder /Ik+/Another world / jumping Jackson /Beneath a steel sky / benefactor but what a machine the Amiga was . :-)
Darkmere isn’t talked about enough I loved this game. So much atmosphere. Would love this to come on steam or something!
Do You know the sequel? Dragonstone?
Great vid. Miss Hybris & Battle Squadron !!!
Great games! No doubt!
Cheers, Régis! Thanks for watching!
As a Amiga fanboy myself I find this a great list. Choosing 30 out of the vast catalogue of Amiga games is always gonna be a difficult task, plus like everything else, it's all subjective. Games I'd add....Battle Squadron, Hybris, Benefactor, Wings, Rocket Ranger, ITCFT Desert, Datastorm, SuperFrog, Alien Breed series....so many classics. Great vid m8, enjoyed it :)
Appreciate it, Lucas! And thanks for pointing those out! Great games, no doubt!
Cheers!
Excelente video!!!
Y faltan tantos juegos maravillosos de esta bestia.
Saludos desde Argentina
Cheers! :)
Roadkill doesn't get enough press. Thanks for including it.
My pleasure! Thank you! :)
the pang gameplay was really on point
O ano passado joguei C64 pela primeira vez e adorei a experiência. Era para ter feito o mesmo com o Amiga mas ainda não aconteceu, no entanto este teu vídeo teouxe o bixinho novamente. Muitos destes jogos de amiga parecem AWESOME, totalmente a minha cena. Excelente vídeo mais uma vez. Um grande abraço.
Bons tempos :) Tantos títulos incríveis no Amiga (outros nem tanto) que me faziam ligar a máquina assim que chegava da escola para simplesmente ouvir a música das intros ou das cracktros enquanto fazia os trabalhos de casa ;) Então no Turrican 2 (só para dar um exemplo), ao pressionar na barra de espaços enquanto estamos no ecrã inicial/menu/intro vamos parar a uma espécie de jukebox onde podemos selecionar uma música específica de um determinado nível do jogo, ou simplesmente deixar tocar todas as tracks como se de um cd áudio se tratasse ;)
Abraço, Ivan! Obrigado pela visita
The graphics on Darkmere: The Nightmare’s Begun really are awesome!
Indeed, it is!
Great video as always Pixel Coisa. Have you ever played Theseus Versus the Minotaur? I only discovered it through emulation many years after retiring my amiga to a cupboard but wow what a game!
Final Odyssey? Heard about it from friends that were still messing around with the system in the end of the 90s, but personally never had the chance to try it out. If you say that it's a good game, I wanna try it out ;)
@@itsaPIXELthing yeah that's it. Final Odyssey - Theseus vs the Minotaur. It's an adventure action puzzle game which looks and plays great.
You make SOTB2 look good, time for a revisit! Cheers!
Enjoy! :)
Hail brother , i didnt know Ruffn Tumble it looks very good and i m going to try it, great video
Ruff n Tumble is incredible! :) Also mentioned it recently on my Bitmap Brothers documentary!
Cheers!
awesome vid! thx!
Yo Joe! is imo the most underrated Amiga game, and maybe the most fun to play platform game on Amiga.
Good selection!
Thanks! Appreciate it ;)
Take care!
Where is Psygnosis Leander? The best looking platformer together with SOTB2. And definetly best music score 👍
I had an Atari STe FM, at the time I thought it was pretty good but then a couple of friends from my school had the Amiga 500. I can't remember what game it was but we were all out one day and bought a computer magazine which had demo disks on the front, this particular one had a version for both the Atari and the Amiga and there was a preview in the magazine as well and the difference was night and day. From that point on all I wanted was an Amiga.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Truly appreciated it! Cheers!
When I was a kid I had tapes full of game, demo and cracktro (ahem...) music recorded from my brothers Amiga 500. I also had a seperate tape only with the best Turrican 1-3 songs.
I also created my mix tapes packed with music, first from ZX Spectrum games and later from Amiga and PC ;) I have an 8 GB pen drive in my car filled with chiptunes (and music) from back in the day! :)
Great video again, you should contact the Kim Justice channel and do a collaboration. I'm sure he'd love to, you both love the same era. Good luck!
I loved the Amiga, it had so many brilliant games! Shadow of the Beast 2 was a favorite of mine also.
Cheers, Paul! Thanks for watching!
Take care!
So many Amiga classics are missing. Some got later ports (or related titles) to other systems but were Amiga exclusive for years.
Shadow of the Beast 1
Menace
Blood Money
Sword of Sodan
Alien Breed
Wings
My first childhood trauma was when my Amiga 500 died. God, those times were heaven. Love this channel! You are doing more than great! :)
Yeah, my A500 also died.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Appreciate it!
Take care!
I thought I watched this video before. At least some parts of it.
great games I have so much fun with these games.
I liked Hostages and Persian Gulf Inferno as a teen
Oh, man! Persian Gulf Inferno is so awesome! Love that game! :)
Fala meu amigo Lusitano!!! Vim deixar meu like!. Tamo junto! Adorava o Amiga naquela época, mas, não havia $$$ para comprar. Hoje, emulado, agradeço dicas de jogos, pois não conheço muito.
Agora, à guisa de curiosidade, tem alguma coisa da US Gold que preste ??? Pergunto para não perder meu tempo com jogos deles...
Bons tempos :) Tanto exclusivo magnífico! :)
Realmente a US Gold não publicava assim tanto jogo que mereça muito do nosso tempo. Naquela época talvez, mas hoje em dia nem por isso.
@@itsaPIXELthing Verdade, e, como eles conseguiam estragar coisas simples. É um mistério como se deram tão bem.
Thanks! I didn't know Odyssey and Roadkill
My pleasure ;)
Amiga have great games, i am so happy that i can play them on my Amiga computers! Love Secret of monkey Island, Turrican 2,Flashback,Battle squadron, Banshee, Alien breed tower assault and many more!
Such an amazing machine with an incredible games's library :)
Great vid, I found Shadow of the Beat 2 impossible though. Apidya is one of the best shmups ever, that fucking soundtrack! Chris Huelsbeck is the man and I love that first song in Rock n Roll...I even tried learning in on the piano...same with the music of Yo Joe!
You know your stuff :) Thanks for watching and for leaving your feedback! Truly appreciate it!
Take care!
I had that same quickshot joystick when I was a kid, think it was called a maverick. Got a huge nostalgic kick from seeing one again
Quickshot Maverick one. The best arcade stick at the time.
@@pnvgordinho it was a great stick, my friend had the nes advantage stick & that was the closest thing I could find to it that worked on a master system. I think I preferred it to the advantage after a while and as a bonus it worked on both amiga and atari st that we upgraded to after those systems
@@garybrown8117 I think it could also work with the mega drive.
No mention of Moonstone?!? The absolute best of its time for me
Silkworm on the AMIGA is actually better than the arcade version.
Got to say that there is no arguing against this list... I think the slightly bigger video duration is quite necessary to elaborate such amazing title compilation from almost, if not all, these "household names".
But I actually have a question that from you as an AMIGA connaisseur, what about Jaguar XJ220 from 1992?
It was reviewed back in the day, as better than the actual Lotus II and I was able to understand many years later why I enjoyed it so much.
What do you think about this title in comparison Lotus II?
Great video and keep it up!
-DjAlmada
Hi, Dj! Jaguar XJ220 is, indeed, a very good racer. It's in full screen, something that the Lotus games aren't. Even so, I didn't play it that much at the time. When the game came out, I was already all over the the PC and playing Lotus Ultimate Challenge, simply because I was a huge fan of the previous ones on the Amiga (lotus 1 and 2).
Santíssima, 40 minutos de jogos Amiga? Vou só ali buscar as pipocas. 😁
Espero que tenhas gostado! ;)
Abraço, Zé!
I never played any Amiga systems (never even knew any1 with 1)...but MAN this system looks extremely impressive
I have a ton of stuff related to the Amiga here on the channel :)
The AMIGA was ready in 1984 if they had released the A500 around that time it would have been way ahead with its advanced features instead they tried to sell it as a business machine and let the ST become established thats what would have happened if Tramiel had not fallen out with Commodore
Shadow of the Beast 1989 was the pinnacle of amiga envy. At that time it was ahead of what any other comparably priced computer system could do. Crazy to think that it was already running on 4 year old technology. To my mind 1989 was the last year that commodore could have really kept hold of the lead 'multi media' computer if they'd released a new machine : min spec should have been 16bit sound and 12bit gfx ( the Turbo Grafix 16 was already doing 482 colours ~9bit on screen in 1987 ): both the digital art and music industry at the time would have been blown away by such spec.
Instead two years later we got the A600, a repackage of a repackage, killing a dying platform.
Who was envious of A1200 games in the mid 1990s? Not Playstation or Pentium owners. Not even Atari ST owners, they had the superior Falcon, which sadly came at least 3 years too late as well (needed to be out '89, came out in '92).
Hired Guns, DynaBlaster, Master Blaster and Bratwurst.
I love this chart with great tittles!
Appreciate it! :)
Take care!
Any chance you could (or already have done) a list of new Amiga games from 1995-present?
i had my Amiga re soldered to 1MB Chip Mem and had 4 MB Ram in it, in addition i had a Golem with a 20 MB HD, had all my Games on it and still more than 10MB room on the HD, Formula One Grand Prix, Another World, Elite Frontier, Pinball Fantasies / Illusions etc and on and on, great Games tons of fun and hours of gaming well spend
Banshee and ruff n tumble are incredible games. They look like they are an almost 32 bit era games. Incredible stuff.
ATR is fantastic too. Hey, where's chaos engine?
Chaos Engine is on my Bitmap Brothers documentary ;)
czcams.com/video/lVTHJRh_iv4/video.html
I didn't know Borat played Amiga games. Very nice.
Cool! Right? :)
