Great 3D adventures on the Amiga..
« on: February 19, 2008, 08:51:53 PM »
Hi everyone,

Was just reminiscing some good 3D adventure games that came out on the Amiga.
I was just playing 'The killing cloud' which is a great concept set in the future.
As a future cop chasing down the baddies, all set under a nasty toxic cloud. Have there been any remakes?

Damocles- a briliant 3D game where you have to travel the solar system looking for bits of a atomic davice to destroy the comet. (Personally I liked surfing the comet till it approached it aventual doom or walking off the building after parking the vehicle on the top, a bit silly, but yet totally possible!

And then there was Hunter, another fine game by Activision, maybe in someways similar to the TV series Lost. The good thing was that you could drive as many types of vehicle from sailing boards to helicopters.

Of course frontier Elite, but in that game you could not leave the vehicle..
I'd be interested to see any of these have been made into remakes with atificially intelligent characters and online gaming capabilities.
Those concepts where great and would look good on modern Amigas, PC, consoles. :-)
Any others on the list?

Wow, quite a few games i'd forgotten, especially Driller, and good to see a remake.

I'd like to try making a 3D adventure myself, with the right software> Midwinter had an interesting plot, and would work really well as a modern game unless it already out there!

The Amiga also has some great shoot-em-up space type adventure games such as frontier and starglider 2 although they differ from the freescape ideas of walking around a 3d world and solving puzzles.

On the graphic side of things starglider2 was  amazing in terms of vectors and colours. This was lacking a bit in The other vector games such as robocop 3.
Does anyone remember Starglider being played on
'Get Fresh' TV early(ish)on saturday mornings?
Hmmm nostalgia  :-)
