Well thats a bit insulting. HL2 looks like it's going to rock and YES, I will get it. That doesnt mean I wont enjoy any Amiga games.

What games are you trying to play?

Eh.. Chipper, this "funeral" seems to be here for only 1 thing. Make fun of Amiga / Amiga users.. Look at his profile, his avatar and his posts..
@Funeral,
If you're here because you're truly interested in getting help, lay off with the trolling and stuff, we've have enough trolls.
-
what does his sig say?... I'm to lazy to go to babelfish..
-
*sigh* Thanks. Just thought I could help someone enjoy an Amiga.
Oh well, I'm off to play some Mega-lo-mania.

Not 100% sure or accurete, but something like "Atari makes the Amiga look like the #$%^& it really is"..

Funeral:
I kinda agree with you...
There sure ARE some quite nice Amiga games but...
Well, there's no way around the fact, that many of the best games ever
were created for C64... Been stuck with Citadel for quite some time
recently...
Also, some arcade games are quite good, god bless MAME :-)
On PC, too many FPS games, but some quality games, like strategy now
and then. And of course, there's emulation possibility on PC aswell
-
I was just thinking to myself "Hmmm, it's been a while since anyone's been on Amiga.org making a t@sser of themselves" when all of a sudden.....
Yawn!

Well, you should get yourself a couple of A500s, a serial cable, 2 copies of Stunt Car Racer, some beer, and a friend.
I know the latter is probably impossible for you, but if you manage to get a friend, you'll find it an absolutely brilliant game.
Also, if you can't find two A500s, don't worry! You can link an A500 with an Atari ST; Stunt Car Racer for the ST is serial link compatible with the A500!
-
The Atari ST sucked. My friend had one. The Amiga was much better. I didn't even have an Amiga at the time though I really wanted one. Dad bought me a PC instead. :-(
Games are still made for Amiga (though sparse). Don't see any new games for the ST.
-
Nowt like a blatant troll ;-)

Ha! The closest Atari users get to gaming is playing with their gonads!

Amiga is still here. Atari are gone and the name brought by a software company. There was talk a while ago of making a next-gen Amiga-style system called "Atari". Need I say more? :-?
But hey, it's a while since we had an old-fasioned troll around here :-D

Maybe he can't get off. The resolution and pixel depth of those STs were too crap for porn.

@Funeral
your a funny person you have to be you like atari,s and they died out in the 80,s after the a500 wiped the floor with the st i had a 520stfm myself best thing i done was give it away .memory expansion hard drives virtuly impossible, on the st expansion even harder than an apple mac .Atari made some exellent arcade games but now the name is owned by infrogames who make rubbish pc games. :-D :-D :-D

Who allowed that avatar in here?.
BOOoooo HIiiiisssSS, away with thee SATAN !
A anagram of ATARI : I A RAT :-D

Just a personal notion...
In the 80's many C64 games were far better than their Amiga
conversions
Games, like Cybernoid (Okay, only good thing Cybernoid had was the
brilliant music, that Amiga version lacked...)
List continues... Archon, Robocop, Atomino (Well, there sure are
others, but you get the idea?)
The reason?
Well, the way *I* see it, in the beginning Amigas were "too good for
that time"
It took time, before coders got used to that brilliant new hardware,
and learned, how to do amazing things, that were impossible or too
slow before.
And another reason, many of those early games were either originally
written for "more restricting" platforms, or were designed with such
versions in mind.
It took quite a while, before first killer "Amiga-only" titles
appeared, titles, like Shadow of the Beast (Well, that's not
Amiga-only, but afaik, it was designed for Amiga in the first place.
C64 version is also quite amazing, even better that Amiga version, if
you think of what machines the 2 versions are running on)
Another "bad" thingin first Amiga games: The musics. Why?
Well, not every musician had parallel port samplers back then, or if
they had, they lacked sounds to sample. Thus, they were mostly
restricted to those SoundTracker samples, well, not every one of them
is THAT horrible, but they sure could have been better...
And somehow, using similar samples, makes the music sound very same...
On C64 however, samples were rarely used (First time in Arkanoid).
modifying the sounds is quite simple, but rather restricting, thus,
most tunes had good melodies rather than good sounds. And those
converted to bad set of samples...
But as I said, things got better rather fast :-)
But still, any simple things can ruin a good game. Rampart, for
example. Very playable on C64, has even 3 player support, 2 joysticks
+ keyboard.
What did Amiga version do wrong? Well, mouse control suits that game
really well. In fact, too well, as another player has to play with
joystick. Becouse of that, it soon becomes rather boring "Lets swap
controls, my turn to win now!"
On C64, controls weren't good, but they were equal between players

Aaah Stunt Car Racer - one of my most memorable Amiga memories is playing that game. story: Friend was beating me easy but i had inflicted some damage , he was on the last lap shouting 'loser' at me only to have me reverse down the last straight, force him off the track and total his car. Win for me - look of disgust on his face. priceless.
er..just thought id share that wit ya ;)
