introducing amiga games

[runequester]

so I introduced a friend to some amiga games last night. He couldn't believe they ran on a machine with only 1 meg of RAM

I showed him Turrican 2 and ALien Breed 2, the intro to Cannon Fodder, then we rocked it two player in Bubble Bobble, Moonstone and Super Cars 2

This was in emulation, but he got into games a bit later in life than I did, so he wasn't familiar even with the DOS or 64 versions.
 
Good points on the titles.
I forgot to mention, we also played a bout of Gloom in split screen, which was a ton of fun.
 
I'll definately break out some demo's next time, though I need to get my brand "new" (to me) 1200 up and running first for that. Running demos in emulation feels like cheating

Emulation? Pfffft!  lol

well, my 2000 is NTSC and doesn't play nice with pal games even on a monitor, and my new 1200 is still missing a power supply

runequester: I take it your 2000 doesn't have a Fat Agnus in it? If it did, you'd probably have no probs. running PAL games/demos. I ran a ton of PAL stuff on my (now gone) 500...

And, yeah, please use a real miggy... emulation is cheating, .... and for my money, I've had poor luck with emulators in general....

Oh yeah, how about Apidya? Pretty sure it's Amiga-exclusive (Cammy?) and the main reason I registered WHDLoad.
:afro:

Apidya REALLY REALLY looks like a console game, but who knows
Me and my buddy Dave have played it a lot in two player, its great fun.

And yeah, my 2000 is OCS only. Since I got a 1200, I am pondering selling it, but maybe its worth looking into upgrading it
