Best amiga game on XBLA
« on: July 30, 2009, 02:39:54 PM »
Just for fun - what is your favourite XBox Live Arcade version of these classic Amiga games?

1. Sensible Soccer
2. Speedball 2
3. Monkey Island
4. Worms

For me it's Sensi, but I'm really enjoying playing the new Monkey Island with my daughter, who, being 8 is just being introduced properly to her dad's geeky gaming past :)

I like Sensi the most out of that list :)

Worms is OK but not as good as Worms DC! Ive downloaded Worms 2:Armageddon but not tried it yet.

Im currently playing Rocket Riot which is lots of fun, I also like AstroPop, Bankshot Billiards, JointStrike 1942 and Hexic (1 & 2). Theres loads of good games on there :) Around half of my games are XBLA games.

What Id really like to see is Minskies Furballs on there, I used to play that all the time back in the day :P

Speedball 2 ofcourse. There's simply no game that's more hardcore than this one. Finished every level on the amiga (it's easy when you know how) without cheating.

Well, I don't know what exbox live arcade is but I'm pretty sure that the xbox is somehow affiliated with microsloth which means it's off limits to an Amigan.

Hmmmm - very close minded and controversial statement IMHO, which slightly offends me.  Xbox live is indeed Microsoft but where as I love to death my Amiga and therefore am proud of my Amigan status and still enjoy all that is Amiga; I also look forward, and in doing so would not be so limited or insular as to think anything was off limits to me; but each to their own.  For instance I love the sound of Vinyl (and i still own a sweet oil stabilised system x turntable) yet I also own a reference CD player, and so on.  The love of one technology does not, and should not prohibit nor restrict the enjoyment of another.  It's technology for Pete's sake - not religion!

Don't use XBLA and you can't beat playing the games on original hardware so pancakes!

Agreed Zabeedee, it's always best to play on the original hardware but this post is supposed to be a fun way of finding out who likes what of the re-imagined Amiga titles on the new technology, not to detract in any way from the original games.

There should be a rule that says there must be a pancakes option in all polls :laughing:
