Disappointing classic Amiga games

[darksun9210]

while i agree all pretty much all of the above points, i feel i must differ on one.

Lotus 2.

more playable than lotus 1, faster and nowhere near as annoying as lotus3.
and 4 player simulanious! this is where it really shines.

jack 2 A500's together with a null modem cable, and get four people together and some beers in. the only game that beats this in my opinion in multiplayer is mariokart double dash on gamecube.

btw, did someone mention starglider? i've been looking for starglider and starglider2 for years!

i'll rate XJ220 very highly, but for some reason, i didn't get that feeling of speed. for that i'll play the demo pre-release version on an amiga format coverdisk i have. plus it has soundFX and music at the same time! as opposed to one or the other in the full game.

and whats all this hype about the "Great Giana Sisters"?
imho it should be the Great Giano Sisters. or however you spell bird poo in potugese/spanish. i remember this as being one of the worst gaming expiriences i had. or has it had a serious update?

I totally agree with you.
And " bird poo" is Portuguese is "merda de pássaro" :-D
In Spanish i'm not sure ... Portuguese and Spanish are not the same language as you know.
 

yeah my bad  :-) i saw it in a tintin book somewhere, a ship was off loading bags of giano (or however its spelt) and tintin had to inform the captin that it was infact bags of bird droppings for fertilizer. i thought it was quite relevant for a word play, but unfortunatly my mind couldn't be so kind as to remember what language it was that the bags were labled with.

totally random i know, but hey, sorry, back to topic  :-)
