survival horror games for the amiga?

[carvedeye]

Hi all just curious if there is any survival horror games like resident evil,after dark type games? i love these sort of games and it has been ages since i have played a decent survival horror game.

Nothing springs to mind right away, though Alien Breed has many of the same qualities (limited resources, ohshitwe'regonnadie moments etc)

Dark Seed perhaps?

[XDelusion]

Dark Seed for sure. Then their is Alone in the Dark 1, which I "believe" can be played via Mac Emulation. It don't look like much, but is one of the better Horror Adventures EVER created. Though being based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft always helps in that department.

Also there is Sweet Home which you can play via a NES emulator. You can get a pre-translated rom from Planet Emu. In case you don't know, that was the Capcom game that inspired their Resident Evil series.

Zombie Apocalipse I and II, a great shot game.

Ofcourse, when you take emulation into account, a lot more is possible. from splatterhouse on megadrive to resident evil using fpse. but I dont think thats what carvedeye was after though.
 
Also, Alone in the Dark didnt age well. I did play it a few months ago but it looked cr*p and gameplay was very, very slow. Dont bother with that.
 
I have one more suggestion besides Dark Seed and that is Elvira.

[carvedeye]

well both dark seed and elvira look great so will give them both a try

Those old Poly based games don't age as well as the sprite based ones do they? But still, this game has the best story line out of ANY in the series, and is really quite creepy. In fact I'd almost go as far as saying that the only Horror adventures that are worth two shits are the ones based upon the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, some of which can be emulated well on the Amiga.

Prisoner of Ice would be one title I'd suggest if you can run DOS Box fast enough.

Aghh wait, and there are more that actually made it to the Amiga!!!

Dylan Dog: Through the Looking Glass

Anchorhead

The Hound of Shadow

The Lurking Horror

and of course Dark Seed II which again you'll need Shape Shifter to play, but hey, at least we got part one on the AMiga.

Somewhat off topic, but I LOVE H. P. Lovecraft based Horror games! I really wish the Alone in the dark Series kept on that vein (The last one I played for 30 minutes and sent it back to Gamefly).
 
It isn't Amiga based, but "Call of Cathulhu Dark Corners of the Earth" was so good, it gave me nightmares! My wife forbade me from playing it after 9 PM because I would have these crazy dreams and start talking in a weird language and "defend" myself from her... :roflmao:
 
Anywho, if someone does find a good survival horror for the Amiga, I'd also like to know about it. My wife, not so much...

Zombi... well not too good. But zombies and skeletons.

There's always the Amiga Resident Evil demo

There was also a project for ppc equipped Amigas called SOMS(Secrets of my soul) that was an attempt to recreate a silent hill-like atmosphere.

My feelings exactly! The 1st Alone in the Dark... Perfect! 2 and 3, a bit to weaker, but still fun. After that the series really started to blow!

The there was Dark Corners of the Earth. BEST Horror Adventure EVER!!! It saddens me though that the game studio went under before the 2 sequels got released.



Oh, and Necronomicon for PC and PSX was a good one too!

XDelusion, you and I are long lost friends.  We really need to get together because it sounds like we have TONS in common!

Oh, and this thread has inspired me to make an Amiga survival horror game now.  I've already started the story line and am sketching out the basic concept.  Now I just need to learn how to program games

And yes, it WILL be Lovcraftian...
