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...

As fans of the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG, we were thrilled back in the day, when we realized Alone in the dark was based on the cthulhu mythos

Friend request sent. :)

What is that controller in your other avatar? Is that the one for the XBOX 1 that people used to play those 2 Mech titles that were released for it? I got a couple flight sticks that I was planning on attempting to use for FPS's some day, well that and Star Wars X-Wing.

Anyhow, a bit closer to the topic. If you wrote a Lovecraft inspired Horror Adventure for the Amiga, I would want to be one of the first to beta test that puppy! I can not tell you how obsessed with Lovecraft I am! I believe I've read all the stories, watched every movie I can think of that was based or loosely based upon his work and of course have played my fair share of Lovecraftian games, though sadly have not completed many.

I was dabbling with Blitz a couple months ago, and really need to get back to it. While I did not have a horror adventure in mind, I would most certainly like to some day contribute a game or two of my own to the Star Wars community some day.



foleyjo: Thankx for the heads up on that Res Evil clone for the AMiga. I never knew someone attempted such a thing. I'll have to check it out!

I've put in a request for it and the source at EAB. Keep your fingers crossed.

BTW, if you have not played the Nintendo DS port, do so! It's possibly the best edition yet!

Speaking of the DS, I'd love to see a Lovecraftian adventure in vein of Orcs and Elves for the DS, or DOOM 2 RPG for the iPod. Maybe some day if I get good at Blitz.

Aghh, another non-Amiga Horror adventure that I can not leave without mentioning...

Eternal Darkness for the Game Cube. My what a remarkable game! Aghh, and Shadow of the Comet (enhanced CD) for DOS.

Also Resident Evil for the Amiga can be found on the  Amiga Format CD 28 which I am currently grabbing from EAB. ;)

Myth is one of my favorites on the Amiga. A shame though that you have to use the damn space bar to change weapons as opposed to a button.

And yes, the ambient sounds really do it for this game!

Im guessing everybody knows this one, but for a non amiga game that is genuinely unsettling, you can't do much worse than the first two Silent Hill games (PS and PS2). 3 was decent too. Skip the rest.

Run: Are you possessed by minions of the dark lord, because you spoke of your self above as being more than one. ;)

Silent Hill is a great series, though I did like the reboot on the Wii as well not to mention Ju-On The Grudge.

no, but Ive been playing sega megadrive and SNES games all day, so I have 16 bits in my head :)

Didnt play the wii one, though I'd love to see it. Was it a remake of the first game or?

It's more of a re-imagining of the original, and very in depth at that. There is a lot of depth put into it, which you can find out about via the various Youtube videos. For one, you never play the same game twice, the world is a LOT more interactive, and pays close attention to what you do, where you go, and what you take interest in... It learns! (sinister laugh).

You use the Wiimote as your hand to interact with various objects, and yes, physics do play a key role. You also use the Wiimote as your flash light, camera (which can take some interesting photos where the eyes might see nothing), as well as a Cell Phone which you put to your head when it rings...

...and BOY do you get some creepy phone calls!

There is so much to tell about this tittle. Certainly one of the better horror adventures to come into existence in my opinion. They did the original justice, but again, it is VERY different from the original.

For the note, you'll find a TON of Horror adventures for both the Wii and XBOX, which comes as a surprise to some as the local stores primarily only stock Wii games that appeal to toddlers and girls concerned about their weight, but too lazy to actually go out and do a hard day's work. ;)
