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 ?

That's fine. I hate decorating, especially my room. I've got a lot of stuff which I don't like moving a lot.

Oooh, an A1200 eh? Mine is an Amiga 500 Plus. My mate had a CD32 but bust the lid so it doesn't work anymore. :)

I have 'IT Came from the Desert' in a box. A few others that I can't remember too. But I have hundreds of 'back-ups'.

My A1200 lives in my wardrobe in a plastic bag. I got it out few months back from a trip down nostalgia lane.

Yeah, I've still got a working Amiga so I'm always looking to pick up original disks of games. I had Indy Heat a while back, which my brother lent to someone and I never got it back. I had a demo of Base Jumpers and I used to spend hours on that.
