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.

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 ;)


My pleasure ;)

Quote from: dcr8520;512167

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?


Leasure suit larry?

Hired Guns. I only ever played the demo of that, thought it really rather good, very atmospheric.

No, it is not, i think the game i mean may comes from early 90s and may i played it with my A500 on that time.

The graphics was much better than those of Larry (IIRC, as shown on wikipedia at least), like those "human-realistic" style/paint in some demos (with a lot of dithering, or something like that)

Hmm was it a point and click affair (like monkey island, for instance)?

That is!!


Glad I could help :)

The only amiga game music I would love to get my hands on in mp3 form would probably be Shadow Fighters.

I was never a huge gamer, but I do recall really enjoying Battle Squadron and Times of Lore a couple of decades ago!

I can't believe nobody mentioned Assassin :(

That was among one of the cooler and more atmospheric games ever released. The gameplay, graphics and sound effects were absolutely awesome

Playing Amiga games are some of my earliest childhood memories, and I'm sure I played a lot, but the ones that stick out are: Lemmings, Agony, Pinball Dreams, Dune, Another World and Flashback :)

Faery Tale Adventure was cool, hm... lets have a look again in the Emulator and go for a little turtle bashing.

I had to have the Amiga when I saw Marble Madness and Defender of the Crown... but the favourite? Tricksy, tricksy. Hmmmmmm. Xenon2? Gods!

Wow... All those retro-games! :fondmemories: :)

With the exception of all those wickedly fun pinball games like SlamTilt, and
the odd game of Castles II, I must say that what we've been playing mostly
on a real Amiga is TotalChaos-AGA.
If you know of Lords of Chaos (from the authors of U.F.O-Enemy Unknown),
you might get a hint to what the game is all about.
It's strategy, great fun, and most interestingly, it's a multiplayer game!!
If you can't rack up a few friends/foes for a game, the AI is more than
good enough...
