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

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?

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.

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

Thanks.

Leasure suit larry?

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)

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

That is!!

I think you're referring to Syndicate. Do a youtube search and you can watch the gameplay. Also try, "Amiga Gameplay" on youtube, you might find the other.

This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu7dxRtePHM ??

hmm, i don't even remember if i played that game :rolleyes:

but hey, i forgot youtube could be a good resource to find old glory games, thx

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

it was adventure-style, iirc it was more similar to Darkseed than Monkey Island, but can't remember very well, i may be mixing games..

I quick-looked the ~700 youtube's "amiga gameplay" games and didn't found it there (looking at the small screenshots, for most, and such captures didn't sound me), probably i was one of the few ppl who liked that game... :rolleyes:

someone remembers it?


Edit2: hey, "strange" what i've just found...

The music from that game is "sea of love" composed by Moby... The same Moby who created Natural Blues and Extreme Ways (Bourne's Ultimatum)...(!?), awesome.. i like a lot all three songs, the Moby's album "A Night on NYC" is great! ..didn't know that guy was (is?) an Amigan!

music by JM Jarre ;-)

great artist/musician as well.

hmm, do you mean they do not need to be Amigans by its music appearing on Amiga games, or that both they are/was Amigans who started composing using an Amiga?
