Just got the original version of Hired Guns
« on: March 29, 2011, 01:38:13 AM »
Pretty excited. This is one of my all time favourite games, and I managed to score a copy in the original box. I hope the disks are working, but what I really wanted was the manuals that came with it.
Box is in decent condition too.
 
Good old Psygnosis :)
 
 
This game had absolutely killer music too

and well, I apologize in advance for having an amiga related thread on here. I figured I'd buck the trend...

My friends today have a hard time getting used to it, but it'll blow your mind once you do :)

I remember when I was a kid, we'd arrange improvised death matches on some of the training levels.

Mines, sentry guns... a ton of fun, and way ahead of its time (or anything since, for that matter)

This was actually off ebay. I usually bid pretty low. THat means I miss most of the stuff, but once in a while, you get something nice.

yeah, its pretty random. Most of the time, you'll get a handful of random floppy disks, which Im gunshy on, since you never know if they work.

I tend to put them alongside Team 17 in that regard. Occasionally, you'd get a game that was a bit dodgy, but at least they looked and sounded like an amiga game.

ANd most of it was awesome :)
