Amiga games you like more than they deserve?
« on: July 22, 2011, 08:22:17 PM »
Been a while..

Let's talk about amiga games that you objectively know aren't all that great, but you liked them anyways.

A few to kick the discussion off:

Dogs of War - Pretty much a terrible ikari warriors clone. Yet, with 2 players, we wasted hours on this thing.

Death mask - terrible controls, terrible graphics, terrible sounds. Wasted hours in 2 player on this one too.

Amiga versions of Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat. GUess the console versions were faster and better but we still had a good time. Not sure if these count since we didn't have a console at the time though.

I would just say the only real reason the console versions of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were better than the Amiga versions is due to only having one (or even two) buttons on the Amiga.

Graphics may have been slightly better on the SNES, Genesis, but at least Mortal Kombat didn't have purple blood or 'sweat'.

Can we also mention games we want to love, but either suck at so we hate them, or they are just too difficult for their own damn good?

I'd put Shadow of the Beast in that category!

I do love Xenon 2, probably a bit more than it deserves.

yeah, I felt the graphics were decent on the amiga versions.

Great topic :)

Rockstar Ate My Hamster: very dumb, but somehow funny... i play it at times.

Turrican 3: sounds odd, but maybe I'm one of the very few who likes the third part as much as the first and the second.

Oldtimer: nice graphics, and interesting historical background. But the game itself is very boring...


Turrican 3 is awesome. Sure, its not 2, but its a damn fine game in my opinion.
I never could get into the 1st one all that much for some reason.
