"Amiga Classics"

Some that have been running through my head and I had to jot them down before I forget.

Weird Dreams. Heh, this game actually used to scare the hell out of me. you play an accident victim who is on the operating table fading in and out of consciousness. You begin to dream, some horrible twisted dreams including little girls with huge knives, killer bees, statues with ostriches legs, footballs with huge teeth and other twisted and scary crap. You have to make your way through these nightmares without getting eaten or stabbed to death. if you die in the dream, you get to witness yourself wake up briefly, before your heart stops. nice.

Badlands. Great multiplayer 2D car racing action a la super off road. set in an apocalyptic future. good stuff

Cabal. A bit like operation wolf only 3rd person, you blast people, tanks, helicopters, armoured cars and all sorts. what was different was when you cleared a level, you ran up the screen with your arms in the air like a little sissy girl, with appropriate music. laughed my ass off at that one.

Any strange titles you can remember ?

I had weird dreams for the Atari STe. It had one of the most ridiculous cheats ever. For infinite lives you had to stand half-in-half-out of a mirror and type SOS in morse code with the delete key.

St Dragon - fly a mech dragon about and blow stuff up!! quality!

Sidewinder - pretty cool vertical shoot em up

Wings - WW1 flight game, just been ported to GBA so if you've got one, get it!! :)

yeah, and wings of fury! bomb the japs in world war 2, torpedo their ships, great fun

the best game on the amiga by far was 'zack and the aliens'.

it took me 3 days to realise that card was underneith the chest of drawers. *damn you zack!*

Knights of the Sky - allowed netwrok play no less!!
infact, i think even Stunt car racer had a network feature...
Super Skidmarks was great in 8-player mode as well!!

and i think that game was called "Zakk McKracken and the Alien mindbenders".. definately wins an award for having a daft name :)

You can't have the title 'Amiga Classics' and not include Sensible World of Soccer.

My personal favourite is Supercars 2. Those questions you had to answer were hilarious.
