Elite II: Frontier, the 3D Construction Kit, Settlers. Xenon 2 & Speedball because the music was incredible. When the Amiga days started it was Civilization for me. an egg with boxing gloves! Ahh the memories! Battlezone I seem to remember being quite revolutionary, though all I was interested in at the time was Dizzy. Agreed though, Atari games weren't exactly anything to write home about. My first was a C64, bought mainly because we couldn't afford the A500, which was brand spanking at the time. watch some demo videos or whatnot.Īs for Atari, never had one myself. Either way, even if you don't want to use the link, I highly recommend doing a web search for it. Also there's a couple of rare ones that did fall to abandon if you can find them. As I say, the ROMs are harder come by but I believe some new ones have been written under general licence. Most games have fallen into abandonware now though, so no costs or worries involved with them at all. Indeed many of the ADF databases now charge for downloading certain games, etc that are still considered proprietary.

Certainly though it's perfectly stable & genuine software and there's no piracy involved whatsoever, else I wouldn't dare post it on Steam for fear of a ban. I understand your hesitancy in "going off piste" as it were & not trusting a link. and it was a platform worthy of loving I think. Besides, they operate more for the love of the platform than anything else. Steam is kind of redundant to these guys anyway, being as their user base tends to be a bit stuck in a timewarp & not all that social. but being as it's always been free, I think it'd be a bit unfair if they started charging for downloads all of a sudden. Market? Well I suppose yes, they could sell it. I was going to name Xenon 1, Zorgon's Revenge, and Pasta Blasta - but they were on the Oric, a defeated competitor of the Spectrum and pre-dating even the Amiga.

Other memories - Cannon Fodder (I only once successfully got the jeep off the cliff in Level 6 Mission 2, usually after most of my squad had been shot up with Bazookas in Level 6 Mission 1), Sensible Soccer, a really good reworking of Defender for which I can't remember the name, Alien Breed (remember Team 17 ? - Great studio), Pirates (great, but the PC revamp is better).
My favourite rarely features - "Mega-Lo-Mania". There are some decent countdowns on YouTube of Amiga games. Due respect for those working close to the dawn of time though. Battlezone, Centipede, Millipede and Asteroids were fantastic but let's face it other than "Adventure" and "Tanks" most of the original home Atari games were pants. I've got a disc of old Atari games (an official release).
I'm more careful now - although I've always been ideologically opposed to piracy. Something clogged up my old laptop and it took a lot of faffing about to sort it out. I'm reluctant to go "off piste" for fear of getting nasties in my system. I am sure there would be a market for an Amiga emulator and Amiga games on Steam or GOG. You would think the PC could improve on everything but sadly in most cases it just destroyed the experience.
PC did this to several of my favourite Amiga titles, another being Genesia (Ultimate Domain in the US). Originally posted by cptsavarus:I had the Amiga version too and no, the graphics were not this bad. ROMS can be tricky to get hold of, as there's still confusion over who owns the rights to them but if you come unstuck drop me a line & I may be able to help. ADF files, which are basically the Amiga version of ISO's and there's options for up to (I think) 4 virtual peripheral drives (which just like the real thing, aren't always recognised by every bit of software!)Įverything you need, including links to some pretty massive software libraries is here. RAM, ROM version, hard drives, chipsets, you name it. It can emulate any Amiga model and does so very well, even so far as to mimick the disk drive noises. If you long to play again on Amiga and dont have one anymore, get yourself a copy of WinUAE (Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator). I had the Amiga version too and no, the graphics were not this bad.
