What was the first Amiga game you ever bought?
« on: May 14, 2010, 05:10:08 AM »
I'm asking this because amazingly I can't remember exactly what it was now!

But what was yours?

(maybe this will jog my memory a bit haha)

It was Garrison for me.  I even bought the 512K expansion for my 500 so the character sprites would vary.

Did a little bit of checking on release dates and it had to have been Marble Madness. What an awesome game that was too and it even booted to Workbench which was nice.

Interestingly I recently read about the creation of this game, and although I knew it was written in C I didn't know it was pretty much using the original C source code and emulating the bespoke arcade hardware in software via some machine code routines. Strange way of doing it but it is to us what Zarch is to the Acorn Archimedes. An awesome game written in the least efficient way in a high level language.

It was a triple pack that was included with the A500. It had Obliterator, Barbarian and Terrapods. The first one I went out and bought was probably space quest 2. It was a good time for gaming, there were a lot of games and a lot of variety.

I remember Myth, Robocop 3, and Shadow of the Beast 3, and Ultima VI being the gems included with first 2nd Amiga set up I had bought off a nurse I worked with years back.

The first set up I bought only came with back ups, so they don't count. :)

Had to have been Blood Money. Don't know the timeline, but afterward I bought Rocket Ranger, and Battle Chess.

I don't remember very well either, but I guess Their Finest Hour: The Battle Of Britain might be it. It has nice thick book with it...
