Title: I am sooo bored, what should I play?
Post by: Florida on June 16, 2013, 11:23:11 PM
I like 'SimCity' because you can plan and build a city. 'Civilization' because you are building an empire and you can be friends with other players. 'Batman' because I like putting down bad guys without using a gun. 'Railroad Tycoon' has been played to death. I know what I want to play, 'Rainbow Islands'...oh shut up, you know it is a fun game. :D
Either that or turn on the C64 and play some 'Giana Sisters'.

Just play the great giana sisters on the Amiga :-)

Or a game I've been playing a lot lately is double agent.

If you like SimCity and Civilization you should try Settlers. I used to play it on PC. It's about building your medieval realm and conquer/beat your opponenet. It's different levels if I remember correctly. You have to balance resources and needs. It is a lot of micro management.

You can always play Reunion. It's available for AGA as well. It is a strategy game but it does follow a story line so you are limited what you can do. I remember exploring planets and wrote down on a piece of paper what kind of resources you can find where. It helped a lot when deciding where to build colonies. I did play this on PC as well but I want to try it on Amiga.

@Florida

If you have an AGA Amiga with 32MB of RAM you can play Total Chaos AGA from Aminet.  You can build a base and defend it from the hordes of monsters, which u will of course kill and smash into a bloody mess :)

And u can email me any bugreports u find. :)

If you like Simcity type games, you should consider K240 if you haven't already played it. :)

Good choice! You won't get dissapointed!

When/If you get bored of Settlers, try Lords of the Realm. It's also medieval but less micro management. I like this game for two things: you can design your own castles AND you can lay siege on castles with a lot of options :D

Edit: LotR is also available as AGA

And last but not least the game "castles" itself! Also not from bad parents!

Myth always took me back. Was a little tough trying to get down the stupid control scheme (really I have to use the space bar with a joystick!?!?!?), but if you stick with it, get through a couple levels, you'll be amazed at the level design and the art that went into this puppy!

Not an Amiga game (yet) but i've been playing Fez. I haven't had time to really play it properly yet but it's terribly addictive!

There's also Colonization :) Similar to Civlization, but it has it's own charm.
Also, I second the K240 proposal. Terrific game! Although prone to crashing.

That is a great game! I used to play it (also on PC) until I got the "remake" a couple of years ago.

I liked Millennium 2.2 better than K240.

Hi,

Whenever I am really bored, I turn on my PC and play either Crysis2 or Fallout New Vegas. I sometimes play half life with the new high defination graphics.

What is really fun is playing Fallout New Vegas on a Linux Mint OS in Wine mode, not as good as playing it on a PC but lots of fun anyway.
