What games on the Amiga that you find most ADDICTIVE?

[amiga_3k]

That's an easy one: Microprose Formula 1 Grand Prix. Played it until 2000ish on a frequent base :-). I know there were others even more adicted to it (like the authors of F1GPed) but I even went through the pain of writing an AmigaBASIC program that would help setting-up the gearbox. It enabled me to become world-champion in Pro mode, in a Minardi ;-).

Even re-wrote it in ACE-BASIC so that I didn't have to turn off the FastMem (NoFastMem) for running the tool on the old A3000.

I used to luv Turrican II, Frontier and Cannon Fodder.
Now my daughters love Bubble and Squeek.

Getting hold of the Syndicate Wars source code for OS4 would be pretty cool...

Yes! Everyone download Total Chaos now from Aminet, it's only 76 Megabytes and should only take a week on dialup.

Great sound effects but I had no idea whatsoever what it was about or how to control it.

That's why you are supposed to invite over a girl to explain it to you.  Or if you have no girls handy then try watching the tutorials. :-D

Girls don't like Dungeons and Dragons, they like The SiMS and Cosmopolitan Beauty Makeover.

Maybe a new version of Total Chaos should be released so that the elves and wizards can form relationships, settle down and get a mortgage on their newly decorated torture chamber.

Amigadave, I suppose that some people in this thread have listed their favourite games, not the games they find the most addictive, which may distort the results.  As far as I'm concerned at least, it makes a great difference.

:-?

But surely a game that keeps you coming back for more is going to be your favourite?

Something I always load up for no apparent reason is the PD game Mini Arcanoid from Aminet.

[arkpandora]

You are right, but I can't call "addictive" all the games which keep me coming back.  For example, I'm not really addicted to the game I prefer ("Maupiti Island"), and I find this game so close to perfection that I would even find it pejorative.  Anyway the word "addictive" is more restrictive than "favourite", isn't it ?

[arkpandora]

Although somewhat stronger.
