Todays 2 player amiga gaming
« on: April 01, 2011, 07:48:44 AM »
Showed off the amiga to a buddy of mine.

We ended up playing Transplant for almost 3 hours. Definately a case of "just one more go".

Had a pretty good game of Alien Breed special edition, and I showed him Qwak and Hired Guns though we didn't play those two in multiplayer.

Next time, we'll probably do some strategy games.. Space Crusade or Warlords seems likely.

Its based on an old MB/GW board game.

Up to 3 players command each a team of 5 space marines. You can select different weapons and gear, and there's 10 or so missions (10 more with the mission disk).

Its turn based, each marine can move and attack once per turn (more with special orders). Pretty high random factor. A lot of fun though. Your sergeant earns experience and gains rank too, giving you more stuff for each mission.

Love the board game, but Lemonamiga says it's one player, so I've not bothered playing it. I take it you can play with 3 marine teams and one chaos?


The computer controls the bad guys, but you can play 3 players for sure.


On the topic of total chaos, I have 64 megs of RAM. Will it run okay on an 030 though?

Transplant f"n rulez!


yes, it does :)

Its one of those games where you see it, and go "huh, thats it?"

Then you play it, and 50 levels later you are going "okay, just one more!"


The music on the title screen is awesome too
