Title: Wizball
Post by: motrucker on October 25, 2007, 10:02:27 PM

Whatever you want to say about eBay, we can find good old Amiga (and C-64) games for cheap.
I just landed a copy of Wizball for the Amiga for $3.95. Not a bad deal. The last time I saw a C-64 version for sale, it was well over $100.00!

The first one is rare. The second one isn't. :-O

Curse the guy who walked away with my C-64 version then. But - if anyone just wants to play this game, the Amiga version is an excellent port. Can't hardly tell the difference.

Can't tell the difference???
The Amiga version is sucky, the C= 64 not. The game itself is another question altogether.

I can barely remember the Amiga version, but I think it was pretty much a straight port of the ST version.  It didn't have the same feel, IIRC.

The C64 version is the only version, IMO!

Never liked the feel of it on an Amiga.
Only played it briefly though on a mates computer.

(Those were the days when I new people personally who had and used an Amiga. Very long time ago.)

The C64 version was on of my favourite games on the C64.
