A simple question, what is your favourite?

Mine is The Settlers.

I literally Just got Lemmings in yesterday for my CD32. I had never played it before (or even seen it) back in the day. Very addictive on a 32 inch big screen TV.


Sweet :)

Just seems to take the CD32 forever to load it up. Guess I am used to the Xbox360


Oh there's no "seems" about it, the CD drive in the cd32 was a hateful, noisy clunky affair that was one part "custom" (read: hack) and two parts fail. And thanks to some cost cutting on the part of those who made expansion boards for it, such as that nifty 030 expansion, you can't plug in an atapi drive, not even with a two into one card, such as came with ide fix.

In many ways the CD32 was my personal favourite amiga. But that drive was proof positive that satan is a beancounter and he worked for C= during the mid 90's.

Since i posted my first comment on this topic i'm trying to recall the name of two games, damn... it seems i get nostalgic and want to try play them again (a decade after, or so), thanks topic submitter..grr ;)


My pleasure ;)

On the first game, you are a detective with certain missions to complete, in general the game music is some "sensual" (iirc), i still remember some scenarios from that game, in a hotel hall..in a swimming pool talking with a bikini woman, etc.. enough info?


Leasure suit larry?

Quote from: dcr8520;512167

The second game, is a FPS one, maybe the first game i played of this type, i recall you manage a group of four(?) mercenaries(?), the screen (blue borders?) is divided in four squares where you see the action from each other.


Hired Guns. I only ever played the demo of that, thought it really rather good, very atmospheric.

Quote from: dcr8520;512167

Some of you have some idea about the games im talking about?

Thanks.


Might do :)

No, it is not, i think the game i mean may comes from early 90s and may i played it with my A500 on that time.

The graphics was much better than those of Larry (IIRC, as shown on wikipedia at least), like those "human-realistic" style/paint in some demos (with a lot of dithering, or something like that)


Hmm was it a point and click affair (like monkey island, for instance)?


Quote from: dcr8520;512191

That is!!


Glad I could help :)

NOSTALGY!.. i just recall now how i loved that game's music :)


The only amiga game music I would love to get my hands on in mp3 form would probably be Shadow Fighters.
