Disappointing classic Amiga games
« on: April 20, 2004, 04:14:13 PM »
Hi there,

I was just thinking about how people fondly remember the classic games of the early 90's on their Amigas - how good the playability was etc.  Over the last year or so, I have been dustiong down old games and firing them up once more.  Some, like SWOS Settlers and F1GP, remain fantastic but on playing Lotus III again for the first time in about 10 years, I was really taken aback by how bad it seemed.  I loved the Lotus series when I was younger and found it hard to come to terms with!

I was wondering if others have experienced similar disappointment when returning to old games?  Alternatively, which have you found ones that live up to their top billing in your memories?

Lots of replies about Speedball 2.  I must admit that playing again after all these years, there are parts of it which stink (pretty good for 1 floppy, though!).  Music is highly dubious etc.  I don't get any enjoyment out of playing it single player anymore but 2 player is still fantastic - the kind of game where punches directed towards the opponent are not uncommon - amazing tension!  And as many have said - it is an absolute essential for any retro night!
