Those games that ALMOST made the Amiga Famous again?
« on: June 28, 2004, 05:08:08 AM »
Halo evry1,
Back in either '91 or '92. I was watching CNN on
entertainment news and featured all of the latest
console that came out then. There was dreamcast,
3do, sony?, and lastly our beloved CD32.

A guy was playing Pinball illusions(?) not sure
But that was It. I felt an great sensatuion just
seeing CD32 featured back then :-) and shouted
!!!YEAH AMIGA ROCKS!!!

There were other games, mostly strategy games that
almost made our miggy famous or much well known, by
the least. Hmmm... IFAIK those were Dune 2, Syndicate,
Street Fighter 2, wait.. also Mortal Kombat 1, Another
Worlds, SIMCity2000. Not sure about the rest,
they sure were kick arse back in their time also.

My friends used to come by our house just to play MK1,
and Dune II on my A500+ no expansion just a second floppy.
Sure blew them away when they saw no Hard disk, just
floppies. That was nice when it lasted thow! :-)

Sure miss those days! :-D I hope A1 or Peg2 follow suit.
Good day to all Amigans!
