Mine would have to be when I finally completed Turrican II.

It was the perfect kick-ass game best played after a bad day at college.

What was the best gaming moment in front of an Amiga guys?


I immediately thought of three:

Cannon Fodder, Alien Breed 3D, and Breathless - completed all three!

Cannon Fodder - very addictive and playable, fantastic fun... shame about the sequel.

Alien Breed 3D and Breathless - very atmospheric, my first taste of 3D gaming, difficult but fun to play.

Still trying to get Alien Breed 3D II TKG to work with WinUAE... I didn't own an Amiga fast enough to play it when it was released, and I still don't own an Amiga fast enough now (to play at a reasonable frame rate)!
Incidentally, has anyone ever managed to get the AB3DIITKG RTG patch on Aminet working?

Steve.

Millennium 2.2 could be it... no, it's Elite1... but...

Bah, I do not want to pick any single game:
Millennium 2.2
Elite1
Elite Final Frontier
Barbarian1 (psygnosis)
Defender of the Crowm
Railroad Tycoon
Deuteros
Foundation
SimCity2000
Civilization
F/A-18 Hornet
Boulderdash
BubbleBobble
....

They all gave some special moments...

Then there were the multiplayer games: Stunt car racer, fire power, TurboRaketti...

aaaargh.... all those nostalgia feelings, they almost make me cry ...  I wish I had time to play them again someday

God that's weird. I was just about to start a thread asking the same question...

My top five, in no particular order, are:

1. Flying under the Golden Gate Bridge in F-18 Interceptor, and switching between the various out-of-cockpit views to take it all in. This was one of those moments when I sat back and thought "Wow, I'm glad I bought an Amiga".

2. Finally battling my way onto the roof of the cathedral in Batman only to see the Joker halfway up the ladder. Thinking I'd blown it, I launched the Batarang towards him in a fist-shaking moment of frustration... to see him fall off the ladder and plummet to his doom.

3. Doing battle with the giant splitting orb at the end of the third spaceship level in Turrican 2. I've yet to see this section bettered for sheer unadulterated arcade perfection. The 360 multi-layered parallax scrolling and the orb's treacherous splitting and slamming together makes for a relentless, dizzying and exhausting experience.

4. Trading insults instead of blows in Monkey Island. What a fantastic, original idea. There's so much humour and wit in Monkey Island and it's such an atmospheric game. This was one of the most enjoyable parts - trudging around the island looking for a fight to try out your newly learned insults in.

5. Two-player games of Lotus 2. Although hugely enjoyable on its own, having a mate around to race in Lotus 2 is always infinitely more enjoyable. We've often spent entire evenings ramming each other off the road or into trees while giggling like two 8 year olds.

AlienBreed3D, Gloom, Breathless, Cannon Fodder, Worms.
AlienBreed3D2 demo, when it first came out too:) Nice gpx and that guy with machine gun and spotlight were very impressive that time.

Loading up Indy and the Fate of Atlantis for the first time and hearing my father say, "Wow, that music's terrible." :-)

It was, sort of. The Amiga's capable of much more.

Lords Of The Rising Sun   :-D

But there was also:
Conquering the universe - Reach For The Stars
The soul survivor - Nuclear War   :lol:
Killing terrorists - Pursian Gulf Inferno
Slaming it home - Speedball

And of course being the ultimate deity - Populous

And crushing my enemies - The Lords Of War

but then again:  Turrican II, Chaos Engine, Reach For The Skies, Their Finnest Hour, Populous II, ElfMania, Them, Wings, Banshee, Worms, and like the Enrgy Bunny I just go on and on and on . . . . . .  :crazy:
