"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 ?

Weren't North and South a boy band?

Hmm...

Never played on an Amiga, as far i can remember - did it take floppy disks?

I remember a platform which took floppies which my next door neighbour had... And it wasn't a PC, and if it was, it looked strange.

you'd fly off the track at 100mph and wait patiently for about 30 seconds for your car to fall to the floor, then you'd be greeted by a 'realistic' smashing sound.

still, happy memories

I remember one of the adversaries you raced was called 'road hog'

And after you crashed some chains came down and lifted you back onto the track.

Did you play magicland dizzy? Or even Seymour goes to hollywood?

dizzy yes, not the other one though.

Dizzy was so frustrating, ive never completed it.

I've got a selection of games for winUAE, the amiga emulator.

you ever play emerald mine?

Heh, I played a demo of Seymour Goes to Hollywood on the Spectrum. You had to make a film of you (Seymour) saving a woman from an oncoming train but you had to start the camera and everything. Some of the films I made were just funny.

No.

ah well. i still have an A1200 in the top of my ward-robe, maybe I should crack it open one day soon and load up sensible world of soccer ....

They should re-release Sensi soccer on GBA. It'd be better than that stupid Steven Gerards Soccer which ripped it off.

It was class on the SNES...
