Hi,

My best gaming moment was the 1st day I bought my brand new Amiga 1000 when they first came out and then bought Arctic Fox by Electronic Arts. The reason I love playing this game is that it is possible to beat it if you use the right strategy. The 2nd best game I played was Dungeon Master.  I really got a thrill the day they ported over Doom to the Amiga. This game shows up on every Amiga and PC I own. I don't know how many games for the Amiga I have but every now and then I go to ebay and buy another just to collect Amiga Programs.

ok, it may be just me, but living more then 5 minutes in ANY Shadow of the Beast game was a memory to never forget :lol:

Seriously, It would have to be having my anti-amiga friend over and getting him hooked on "Serch and Destroy".

The multiplayer was one person in the gunners seat and the other the pilot.  Don't think I was ever the gunner :pissed:

THAT was a game and a moment!  i can still hear the digitized voice yelling "Finish him off" or the chukeling "over kill"......

Well, my all time favourite game is Elite 2 - Frontier but I never made it to the Elite rank (somone here who has?).

Another favourite was Lotus 2 which I used to play against a friend in split-screen mode until he got so good that he became hard to beat...

Gauntlet 2 isn´t so bad either, I still play it on my A500 but it´s kind of dull when you don´t have anyone else to play it with.

Stuntcar Racer: Using a null MODEM cable and racing various clumbsey drivers. Watching somebody navigate the "Rollercoaster" track for the first time is funny!


"Race ya up the first hill!"  (Then drill the brakes at the known last second, and watch them sail over the edge.)  "Ok, you won!"  hehehehe!

A true classic.  :-)

The most game related fun I've had with an Amiga was back when my mate had two Miggies, and we were stoned (I was young and crazy ;-)) and playing Worms. We switched over to the other machine to watch some demo or other and forgot we'd left Worms running. About half an hour later we kept hearing this high-pitched 'Hello!' and we were getting so freaked out because we were too f**ked to work out where this noise was coming from. :lol:

God I hate drugs.

I immediately thought of three:

Cannon Fodder, Alien Breed 3D, and Breathless - completed all three!

Cannon Fodder - very addictive and playable, fantastic fun... shame about the sequel.

 :-)


What do you dislike about Cannon FodderII? I thought it was as much fun as the original.
 
My picks:

1.   Head to head air combat verses a buddy of mine with F-16 Falcon via 2 Amigas connected by NULL modem. (over a few beers)...

2.   Flying as my buddy's wingman with Flight of the Intruder with 2 Amigas via NULL Modem (also over a few beers)...

My buddy rented the appartment below mine, and we drilled a hole through my floor in order to connect our amigas back in the late '80s. We were able to communicate by voice in real time over the telephone, the most important reason being the immediate requirement to 'PAUSE' and reload beers... I mean weapons...

I've always considered Dungeon Master the best Amiga game ever (and yes,  I finished it a few times). It's atmosphere is like nothing else. I liked the sequels as well (although I never did finish DM2).

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 was a fun multi-player game. So was Wayne Gretzky Hockey. Loved pulling the goalie when he had posession of the puck - the extra attacker would come onto the ice but the goalie takes the puck with him so game play continues without the puck and all the AI players go mental! :-D

Populous and Power Monger were also amazing games, spent many hours conquering virtual lands and people...

Of course, I think the first game I ever played was Marble Madness, so I suppose I should mention that. Other great classics include Menace, Barbarian, Fire Power, Speedball, Turrican, and one of my all time favorite shoot-em-ups: BattleSquadron (which I finished several times)!
