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 can only vaguely remember it, I'm always game to have another go at old classics though - I play quite a lot of them on my amiga emulator (winUAE)

There was a game called Indy Heat on the Amiga. I lent it out to someone and never got it back. It was such a great game. If anyone does have it for the Amiga and is willing to send me a copy, I'd be very appreciative.

No emulated ones.

nostalgia is always better than the reality. power supplies as big as a smart car? RF adaptors that fell out and had to be propped up with something call a book? remember the old days?
