A simple question, what is your favourite?

Mine is The Settlers.


Wow, that's a tough question, I wore a mouse out playing Populous, lots of hours on Dune II, and I really loved the Cinemaware Games, Wings, King of Chicago, It Came From the Desert also enjoyed Test Drive II the duel, Agony blew me away, Flashback was amazing, Stardust was impressive, Pinball Dreams, boy I could go on and on but I don't want to bore anyone.

I literally Just got Lemmings in yesterday for my CD32. I had never played it before (or even seen it) back in the day. Very addictive on a 32 inch big screen TV.
Just seems to take the CD32 forever to load it up. Guess I am used to the Xbox360
I have Amiga stuff for sale at http://amigalounge.com. You can follow my builds there also.

Too many, but these are the ones I played the most often:

Champions of Krynn
Death Knights of Krynn
(played Dark Queen of Krynn in 256 colors on the PC)
Defender of the Crown
Leisure Suit Larry
Leisure Suit Larry II
Leisure Suit Larry III
Populous
Speedball 2
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

I can thank the SSI gold box games for the 10-key induced joint pain in my right middle finger.

I played the Cyberball conversion quite a bit, too, but not as much as Speedball. I loved Weird Dreams, but I sucked at it, and pretty much any Psygnosis game rocked the house.

Oh there's no "seems" about it, the CD drive in the cd32 was a hateful, noisy clunky affair that was one part "custom" (read: hack) and two parts fail. And thanks to some cost cutting on the part of those who made expansion boards for it, such as that nifty 030 expansion, you can't plug in an atapi drive, not even with a two into one card, such as came with ide fix.

In many ways the CD32 was my personal favourite amiga. But that drive was proof positive that satan is a beancounter and he worked for C= during the mid 90's.
Blessed Be,

I simply couldn't say I had one favourite game, there are too many.

However, I'll always have a soft spot for Syndicate :D

There seem to be a lot of abandoned 'babies' I wonder if someone will port, update or borrow from them?
There sure is a lot of uncreative trash that gets put out nowadays.

The reason I bought an Amiga was to play Gods...hooked!

Since i posted my first comment on this topic i'm trying to recall the name of two games, damn... it seems i get nostalgic and want to try play them again (a decade after, or so), thanks topic submitter..grr ;)

On the first game, you are a detective with certain missions to complete, in general the game music is some "sensual" (iirc), i still remember some scenarios from that game, in a hotel hall..in a swimming pool talking with a bikini woman, etc.. enough info?

The second game, is a FPS one, maybe the first game i played of this type, i recall you manage a group of four(?) mercenaries(?), the screen (blue borders?) is divided in four squares where you see the action from each other.

Some of you have some idea about the games im talking about?

Thanks.

I think you're referring to Syndicate. Do a youtube search and you can watch the gameplay. Also try, "Amiga Gameplay" on youtube, you might find the other.
