A bit shit from my side to be fair but hey opinions are like arseholesMagic Pockets
Watch this video. No fast forwarding!I want to get this but I keep backing out because of not many interesting games. The last video I checked someone adding 25 more and most of them were point and click and tbh I don't have much interest in them.
Are there many good platformers or action games for this that I can add, to justify the purchase?
Watch this video. No fast forwarding!
This one is a little shorter.

Shadow of the Beast?Can someone help me out with a childhood game which the title I can't remember??
The only thing I remember is that the game scrolls left and right and that you control a guy and that there are coming flying monsters.
I know the description is really bad but maybe someone can help me out with this? Yeah It's obviously a sidescroling shooting game.

Majority of games Graftgold made were brilliant. Paradroid 90, Uridium 2, Virocop hell even the Rainbow Islands conversions.Forgot about Fire and Ice, that was a classic, remeber putting hours into that as a kid
Did you know there’s a remake in the works? Built on the Scorpion engine and it’s AGA. Looks amazing!Don't forget Rick Dangerous
A wise choice there. You'll just need to get the games they are easily sourced and the instructions are elsewhere in this thread I believe.
Thanks. Excited to get my hands on it.A wise choice there. You'll just need to get the games they are easily sourced and the instructions are elsewhere in this thread I believe.

I'm an Atari 8 & 16-bit computer user from the United States.yeah i got the same email saying it was gonna ship earlier than they esitmated i was thinking great i'm gonna get it super soon then i say it was just one day and i was like oh, ok then lol.
Still looking forward to this. Never could afford an amiga as a kid i had to live the life by playing the few machines my friends owned and the games they bought and then later on by emulation exclusively via my pc. There's so many original games for this thing. People seem to concentrate on arcade conversions & stuff that was also on consoles, but the amiga and also the other 8 & 16bit computers all shined the best on the original stuff that was made for them. It's what makes it appealing to get, i don't need arcade perfect ports i have mame and modern consoles for that, what i want to enjoy is all those games that were released & forgotten ones that were never ported to other machines these are the games from my childhood.
It's a weird time in gaming when the 8 & 16bit computers were super big in europe and the usa was the tiny region in comparison that got a fraction of what europe saw. And that's before you add in all the demoscene stuff or computers that were never released there. On the upside to this usa peeps now have whole libraries of stuff they may have never gotten to try or knew existed because it was kept to euro regions.

The C64/128, Apple II line and Atari 8-bit line of computers sold extremely well in the United States. The Amiga and ST had a decent following in the United States and Canada as well, along with the Mac and PC. Tons of games and productivity software was developed and published by American companies for Commodore, Apple and Atari computers. There were tons of magazines that specifically covered Commodore, Apple and Atari computer lines, both 8-bit and 16-bit computers. National chains carried computer hardware, games and software for those platforms.
The difference between North America and Europe is that the timeline of the popularity for example of the Amiga and ST was from like 1985 to 1991 in North America, while it started later, but lasted longer in Europe. Americans were also into different genres, with RPGs, simulations, war games and adventure games (text, gfx/text and point and click). For sports; baseball, basketball and football games were popular. For example, Earl Weaver Baseball by Electronic Arts was one of the killer app games for the Amiga in the United States.
Almost all the heavy hitters and popular games in the UK were also released in the United States, with Amiga and ST dealers being really good at importing games into the 90's from the UK.
It's not a shmup game. It's a sidescroling game where you control a person and It's not Aterered Beast.Blood Money?
BTW I dunno why it wasn't in that list. It was the best side scroller shmup for Amiga.
Was it a futuristic game or more medieval style? Guns or axes?It's not a shmup game. It's a sidescroling game where you control a person and It's not Aterered Beast.
It was a game with different Type of enemies and also flying monsters. You can run to the left and right. Don't know which kind of weapons you use.Was it a futuristic game or more medieval style? Guns or axes?
Amiga 500 was by far the most powerful PC in that era and it kept it's dominance until mid 90's here in Europe. - so much the community till this day are pushing the limits for what a '87 PC should be able to do..
Me too. I'm giddy as fuck! I wanted a 1200 back when I was a kid but could never afford it. Then they went bust and the dream was gone. Stuck with my C64. I cannot wait!yeah i got the same email saying it was gonna ship earlier than they esitmated i was thinking great i'm gonna get it super soon then i say it was just one day and i was like oh, ok then lol.

X68000. You're right it had more power, but the Amiga had the community to go beyond the "limitations".Well I wouldn't be so sure about that if you take into account Japan's answer to the Amiga, the Sharp X86000 had that released in the west it would have wiped the floor with the Amiga on the games-front, a machine released in 1987 some of the arcade ports on there are enough to make you think, if only the Amiga had that!
Dominic Robinson too, what he could make the Spectrum do was bordering on genius.Majority of games Graftgold made were brilliant. Paradroid 90, Uridium 2, Virocop hell even the Rainbow Islands conversions.
Andrew Braybrook one of those old skool bedroom coders.
If only there was such a community for the CD32 .....Commordore's answer to the Sega CD, by which time Sega were already focusing on the "botched" Saturn..X68000. You're right it had more power, but the Amiga had the community to go beyond the "limitations".
Just sold my CD32 last year. Were considering upgrading it with a Terrible Fire 330, but emulation has come so far these days and I'd rather have something "lightweight" and user friendly. Sad story about the CD32 tho' - how the patents screwed it up for export to the US and thousands of consoles just piling up in the Philippines. Would be awesome to see Commodore as a contender today.If only there was such a community for the CD32 .....Commordore's answer to the Sega CD, by which time Sega were already focusing on the "botched" Saturn..
Shot in the dark mate. Wasn't trying to come across like I was taking the piss.It was a game with different Type of enemies and also flying monsters. You can run to the left and right. Don't know which kind of weapons you use.
If this game would be well known I would already know the name Nitty_Grimes
No It's not Turrican.
