How many of you remember this classic game?

Haha, nice one!

Although I've gotta say, I think the absurdity of a modern Blazemonger would do better on the absurdity of a modern platform (Steam, Xbox, Playstation): DLC! Free to play! Achievements! In-game real-money transactions! Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat integration! Kinect tracks your every move, even away from home! If you die in the game you die for real! (wasn't that from a terrible movie?)

YOU don't UNDERSTAND how BLAZEMONGER WORKS!  You don't PORT BLAZEMONGER TO OTHER OSes, you PORT OTHER OSes to BLAZEMONGER!

That's right!  Through a patented system of libraries, video libraries, Vatican libraries and a couple of dirty function calls, DLLs, HALs, IBMs and CIAs, BLAZEMONGER totally takes over the computer it runs on and forces the OS to run as a guest process under IT!

...

Ah, usenet in the early 90s :)

Love your comments, I literally laughed out loud reading them.
It's great to see Amigans still having a sense of humour.

Yes. But all jokes aside, Blazemonger was a great game. Loved the music.

I heard once that someone dropped a copy of Blazemonger on the beach and it stopped the tide from coming in.
