such good times back then... well besides the whole floppy changing thing. That was in hindsight pretty weird that I had THE patience for that. These days I get annoyed when loadscreens are longer then 30 secs.
First game I played on the Amiga. Got tons of hours out of that one.DennisK4 said:
This blew my mind when I first saw it. I remember raving about it to my friends at school the next day, describing the asteroids that came towards the screen as looking "really...real!" :lolAlexMogil said:
SiegfriedFM said:I've collected most of the games I used to have copies of, and it's awesome to see the boxes lined up. In my defense though, I bought as many games as I could back then, even if that wasn't much for a 10-year-old.
You forgot a shit ton of games, obviously. I'll mention one not so popular:StarEye said:The Amiga is basically my youth. I didn't get anything else until '97, so the Amiga was my sole source of gaming. And to be honest, I can't say I missed anything. Despite what everyone is saying, the Amiga had great platformers that I love more than anything Mario or Sonic. Like Superfrog. There's some strange ideas going on that if it's not on a SEGA or a Nintendo platform, it's not worth playing.
The good thing about the Amiga games, was the diversity. We had fantastic football games like Sensible World of Soccer, GOAL! and Kick Off 2 - and to be honest, after trying out basically every football game released on NES/SNES/Megadrive, none of them comes close to the fun and playability of those Amiga games. Then we had adventure games, like Monkey Island 1 and 2, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and Leisure Suit Larry 1, 2, 3 and 5 plus many many more - too numerous to mention really. The time of the Amiga was the golden age of adventure gaming.

Lord Error said:Warhead was just so amazing. I can't even quantify what is it about that game, but it was just unbelievably fascinating. Every other space combat game after it, to this day, felt like crap in comparison.

Why put screens when we're linking to videos?Sapiens said:Serious lack of screens in this thread.
Amiga fans ain't care.
Still one of my favourite games ever. Helps that we used to have competitions on it as a family.MadmanUK said:

missile said:Personally, in a given way, the PS3 + OtherOS + fully addressable RSX was the
Amiga 5000 I ever wanted (a very powerful embedded system). Unfortunately the
RSX was locked out and the OtherOS was killed. lol Anyway, I still have the
OtherOS running. So I still have this feeling of my Amiga 5000 even if I can't
use the RSX. You know what? Fuck the RSX. Software rendering for the win!
It's quite interesting to write a parallel 3-d rasterizer on Cell, lots of
old-school techniques can be applied nobody knows anymore. The situation has
changed since 1997 (Monster 3D). Just ask a cg student right next to you to
raster a line or scan convert a polygon. Impossible!
Ahh, the Konix Speedking. Fantastic, but terrible for your hands after a while.Ding said:Did anyone use one of these joysticks? They were awesome. Click-tastic.
