Crap amiga games you still enjoyed?

[Darrin]

And don't forget "Starfleet 1:  The War Begins".

I think it was done in Basic and looked like it was converted from the Commodore PET.

Still addictive though.

I never played Breathless, but I was always hearing it was awesome? o_O

Well I must say Hellraider, I liked it but no one else did, don't remember any reviews tho.

I liked New York Warriors but not many I knew liked it and I really don't know why since it's a decent game. I think NY: Warriors would have been better with 2 player mode.

I thought New York Warriors did have a 2 player mode? Maybe Im confusing it with something else.

I liked Breathless, but I can see why some people didn't. Not sure if I'd class it as "crap" though. To me, that's more games that almost everyone agreed were garbage.

On the arcade conversions, I must admit I liked a lot of them (final fight, street fighter 2, strider etc). Never really played them in arcades, so I guess we didn't know better
Interestingly, a lot of those reviewed really well back in the day, despite being generally panned today, when MAME is available

Might be mistaken, long time since I played NY: Warriors, since im on a floppy night ill try it out later to see.

I also liked the beat em up arcade conversions, Street Fighter 2 was good but if you only had one FDD you had to swap alot.

We played Mortal Kombat 2 quite a lot. To me it was good, but it might be another where if we had played the console or arcade versions, it'd have seemed cheap.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Rise of the Robots; with a friend. It was our first beat-em-up

[kedawa]

oh and Double Dragon

Ha!
I loved that game!
It was such a bad port of the arcade game, but seeing Billy and Jimmy Lee as midgets with blond afros was just too cool.  I especially liked the voices.  When you died, they said 'booleh!'.

[gertsy]

This silly little 1 on 1 battle game that came on a PD disk.  You could play the computer or another player.  It had "Fasty boots" different lazer guns, mines, grenades etc.  The graphics were pretty crap but the speed and playability were great.  Can't remember what it was called and will never find it again.

Sort of like "Halls of things" on the ZX Spectrum.  Crap graphics great game play....Actually most games on the ZX Spectrum had crap graphics?  Crapper graphics?

[Drummerboy]

Thats true...

Street Fighter II was a shame game.

[rvo_nl]

Let me get back on Breathless. Technically it was very impressive, and it looked good, too. But play it again today and you'll see the gameplay is really bad. Enemies are all the same, level design is very simplistic (most of the time) and the only reason to continue playing is to marvel at the graphics. I think I even played it in 1x1 on my 030/50, which gave me like, 8fps or something.

I really cant agree with Mortal Kombat II, that was an excellent conversion.

[Bamiga2002]

Mortal Kombat 2 is a decent conversion, but just compare it to PC one. You'll see that your character moves a certain amount left-right even if you just wanted to move a little. Annoying...

[rvo_nl]

could be but for the amiga (this ran on a500 with only 512kb) this was the best they could do. pc's around that time had much more memory (and if not, pc users were happy to expand) and more colours so ofcourse the game was better on that platform. dont know about the sound, though.

[Bamiga2002]

But to contribute to this thread I'd say that a "crap" game I still like is Badlands. Crap sound, contains many bugs but it's still enjoyable for me .

Hunter!
