Warhead has to be the best, or the 2nd best game ever made if you ask me, relative to what else was available at the time of it's release. Nothing, except for Ico kept me so much on the tip of my toes while playing it.SpoonyBard said:
Warhead was always one game I wanted to play, but I never could find it at the time of the 16 bit machines. Later I tried to play it with an emulator, but emulators were unable to run it well enough at the time. Nowadays emulators are probably good enough, I really should try it again. It's a shame that these old games are not very user friendly by todays standards, I probably get pissed off after 10 minutes and never touch it again...

He even did the music? I knew he was on I-war, and I tried playing it for that reason, but it just wasn't the same. I remember it having some cartoony characters, which I didn't like. Maybe I should try it again.SpoonyBard said:

Ah, fond memories. While in the biz I used to work with the artist of that game. He did improve -- I promise!MikeB said:The first fighting game I bought for my Amiga in 1989 was Chambers of Shaolin

Quite playable game, actually.Unfortunately, you can only obtain RGB output from an unexpanded CD32 via a small trick: you have to disassemble it and directly solder some wires near the expansion bus (where you could put the FMV MPEG module), that's where you can access the R, G and B signals.SiegfriedFM said:

Awww i *LOVED* this game back in the day! I can't remember what my favourite weapon was though, I've got vague memories of running around desperately trying to find it as soon as the level started.dejay said:Extreme Violence
Very simple yet amazingly fun two player game. Many wet days were spent playing this.
Ahh yes the ones that went through walls. Haha I remember playing it loads with my mum back when I musta been 7 or 8.dejay said:
:lol Yes!Fafalada said:Svet Kompjutera?
Sooo true. SK is not what it was either, sadly. It has become a lot like those magazines that I never liked.
Yes, there's something to be said about the lack of exposure that's common in all of them (as well as Another World for example). At any moment in the game, you know just enough to go on, never too much, and actually probably a little less than you'd want to know, but the world itself is interesting enough that you actually *want* to know more, and your imagination kicks in before you even realize it.
I'd pay full price for that.

That review made the game for me too - as well as it communicated immersion far and beyond anything game cinematics could ever achieve - and it matched so perfectly the audio/visual atmosphere in the game.
There were a few truly stellar writers on computer magazines in our country in those days, and it wasn't until many years later when crap like "Joker" and localized "PC Magazine" started being published when I realized just how fortunate we were in the past.
I think what made Warhead experience so great was how the world it created played on your imagination, in a similar manner ICO and SOTC does.
Haha, I'm 22 and while my memory is foggy at best, I associate the Amiga as being the most enjoyable time of my 'gaming' life. Perhaps it's because to me gaming was relatively new (I'd only played the on Spectrum and BBC before it) and it was at an arguably exciting time of gaming development... But still, I can't think of enjoying games as much as I did back then.D.Cowboys said:

) and we had been drooling over those floppies: Menace (unbelievable) Hybris (which was actually even better) Turbo Cup (uh had nice graphics. We didn't know what 'framerate' was back then) Fernandez must die (which sucked, but me and my brother must have played some co op back then) Starray (yeah, all those layers of parallax) and of course F/A 18. My brother must have played the hell out of that game, i was having fun with it too, but i remember i liked using the plane as a car, driving around on the streets without ever taking off, most of the time. These games remember me of one of my very first Amiga games: Gravity ForceMikeB said:@ KongRudi
I grew up with Thrust on the c64 and Oids on the Atari ST as a 10 year old. Great fun!
Some Amiga clones I played the most:
Phoenix Fighters
Roketz (Freeware!)
Yea, we've come a long way since classic funnies like "Vita Jela Zelenbor, stigo novi Komodor"Marc said:
Indeed - AW shares that same element, it's imagination that plays the biggest part in transcends from a game to an experience like that, and very few games actually help spur it on.
Berserker was awesome - from the very first time you meet him (the way game relates the story through gameplay was also admirably well done), to the battles, particularly the final set of events where you either defeat him or watch him blow up Earth.
Moj Mikro was right up there with SK and Racunari for me. But it went downhill in 95-96 IIRC.
You're right, I was being unfair. I mainly criticised Joker's early editions, and those were unlucky to come about around the same time when I was bitter about MojMikro turning terrible (it used to be my favourite mag when I as a kid).Zabojnik said:

Was back in the day of my complete obsession with point + clickers, this was about the only 'serious' (ie. non-SCUMM) I played. I seemed to remember it having some primitive 3d, but maybe my memory has been completely rosetinted on that one..
