Results of the Amiga Games Award 2009

I just want to thank everybody who has voted for BOH :-)

I voted for BOH for Aros, which I play on my laptop through Icaros all the time



I think it would be nice in future if there were links to each of the games on the voting list, some of the games there I didn't know about or couldn't find on Aminet. I hope we can all make lots more games to fill the voting for the next Amiga Games Award contest, maybe with our Retro Remix Game Making Competition.

Heya Saimo, I'm happy to be enjoying it I guess I like the collectable feel of it still being shrink wrapped, and I guess since the game was available to download once I purchased it online, I have been playing it since the day I paid for it, even before the packaged disc arrived. I think that's a great method of distribution, and I can still download and install each update you release which keeps the game interesting for much longer.

No wonder it came first, BOH is a great game, we're very lucky to have it! Plus it was the first commercial Aros game, so I just had to get it to enjoy on my laptop.

I don't think you guys looked very hard for those Zelda games, they've been on Aminet since they've been out.

But that page posted by artur has them all and more anyway.

Anyone who hasn't played BOH because they don't have an OS4 machine should know they can play the game natively on their Windows PC without needing a UAE port of the game. There's no way it would run well even on a 060/RTG Amiga, so porting it to 68k just so it can only be played in WinUAE is kind of pointless, since the game runs natively on Windows and Linux, as well as Aros which is easy as pie to install if you download the Icaros Live DVD. Then you'd have a modern AmigaOS on your PC, and you could download the demo of BOH and try it.
