Amiga 3D Games - The Videos...
« on: December 31, 2010, 10:44:28 AM »
Runequesters recent threads about Amiga games and upgrading his miggie (nice to see someone with such an interest in his old Amiga and spending his hard earned cash on upgrading it...:)) has motivated me to play  some of my old Amiga games recently, so while I was playing some of them I though I would record them for others to see who may have forgotten about these games or haven't even seen them before... :)

@ utri007

I'd forgot about some of those games myself... cheers... :)

@ A4000_Mad

With over 5000 games in my collection, I've been ploughing through them trying to remember what those games were called, I could remember what they looked like but not the names... cheers... :)

@ motorolin & spihunter

These were all done on the A1200 with a Blizzard060 @ 60mhz, they do run on my old GVP030 but at lower detail and visible window sizes... :)

(@ moto... stay away from ebay unless you got very deep pockets or are planning a bank robbery...:lol:)

Thought I'd just throw in one of my all time favourites here just to show how good the Frodo C64 emulator can be on an A1200... :)

Forbidden Forest for the C64 was the first game to feature huge characters and night and day features not to mention of course the brilliant music... :)

@ Karlos
Sidesteps for sissies... prefer to stand and fight... also I'm just too lazy to stretch another finger to reach the sidestep key... :lol:

Just dug out this old one and been mucking around with it, Robinsons Requiem. Now I remember why I stopped playing it, naff controls keyboard & mouse when you use the joystick to play and wander near the edge of a hill you get stuck and have to use the mouse to get free... :)

Robinsons Requiem... :)

@franko: this was sorta cool game that many never heard of. remember playing it, never finished though.

The gfx engine it used had the potential for something really good, but I think it was let down by the awful programming for the in game movement... :(

I never finished it either, got fed up getting stuck against the side of hills or cave walls... :(

I have tried a playing some games on my nephews XBOX and PS3 (don't ask me which cos they all look the same to me...) and ran about quite successfully like a nutter blasting everything in sight for at least 30 seconds before being killed by gawd knows what (as I never seen what killed me) and once I got run over by a truck... :)

Blizzard and their two billion dollars a year of profit disagree with you.  Or if you like, you can take your argument up with the hundreds of thousands of people who play TF2, Left 4 Dead (and L4D2), and on and on and on...

IOW,

Problem?

Gotta agree with wawrzon on this one... :)

But at the same time each to their own I say, cept the folk who play all these games you speak of are usually quite simple or just brain dead (or both)... :lol:

I think by now most of you will know my opinions on most aspects of modern day gameing and computing but that's all it is, an opinion, nothing more nothing less... :)

If folk get enjoyment from these then good luck lo them even though I may not understand why, that doesn't matter one wee bit if you enjoy something then carry on doing what you enjoy... :)

Suppose I'm at the age now where I can see why my parents couldn't understand me and my mates sitting in the bedroom cursing and screaming like banshees as we played our old VIC 20 or C64 games with mum and dad banging on the ceiling telling us to keep the noise down and cut out the swearing... :)

I just have to look at my young nephew, uni education, working his way up through the ranks of the civil service and the minute he gets home it's off to his room to play with all his consoles & PCs with these FPP games, and I still call him brain dead, even though he's far from it... :)

Reckon life just goes round in cycles from one generation to the next, in computer terms the game styles and hardware may change but the underlying themes behind it all remains the same, fun, enjoyment & escapism from the grind of everyday life... :)

(think they must put something in me Horlicks that affects the brain turning you into a grumpy old man... :))
