EIFA10 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Speedball 2 & Cannon Fodder along with Sensi & the Kick Off's were my top Amiga games Kick Off 2 was awesome. The opposite of Sensi when it came to ball control. If I remember correctly there was a split between the original creators and one or two of them went on to produce Goal. It wasn't a patch on KO2 though. I was always a bit of a black sheep when it came to computers or consoles. I had the Atari ST, when the Amiga was more common and more successful. As well as the aforementioned games, Premier Manager 1 & 2 were brilliant and involved a lot of late school nights. The Game Gear (everyone else had a Game Boy). USA 94 was pretty decent on it. George Foreman Boxing was also a go to. The SNES was a bit of an exception to the rule, as I believe it outsold the Mega Drive. Then there was the Sega Saturn (trounced by the PS1). Sega Worldwide Soccor and Athlete Kings were decent plays. I have no idea why I bought a Game Cube (trounced by everything). Crazy Taxi was one decent game of note, but it was a straight arcade port. I'm surprised I didn't buy a Wii U instead of the Xbox One. Although you could argue that the PS4 has been more successful than the latter anyway (it certainly is based on sales). These days the Xbox One gets ignored a lot, while I retreat to beat the wife at classic Bomber Man on the Game Cube (played on the Wii), or play Goldeneye online on the Wii. The wife still plays the original Theme Hospital and Theme Park on the laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Goldeneye is great on the Wii, definately reccomend Call of Duty on the Wii as well. Playability is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Speedball 2 & Cannon Fodder along with Sensi & the Kick Off's were my top Amiga games I'd forgotten about Speedball 2. It was excellent. Also used to enjoy Paradroid. Before that I was mildly obsessed with racking the score counter on Wizball. Managed to complete the game but wanted to get over 1m points to see what the score counter did. Never did quite manage it. Kept completing the game with 600k points.

Mark78 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 monkey island had like 9 discs, and some other one which had 5 about a murder on a casino boat. Lord of chaos as well. "murder on a casino boat" - Cruise for a Corpse. An external disk drive was a good investment for playing Adventure games.. especially Le Chucks Revenge!

hunchy Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Great thanks, I'll have a look at nu budget and get back to you... can desktops be utilised with your TV to play movies etc as easily as laptops? As long as your graphics card has an HDMI socket ( most do to be fair) you can hook it up to your TV. Building your own PC is easy it's all basically plug and play. There are some graet sites to get the components from such as overclockers, scan, aria etc which are far cheaper and better than the likes of PC world if you wanted you could also look at there prebuilt systems which will be better value than a system from PC world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzle Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not old enough to remember all these ancient games you lot speak of has to be Hearts of iron,civ v or Tropico for the megalomaniac inside me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrystarfish Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I went from an Amiga A500 to the CD32 - now that was a console that was DOA. Loved most of the aforementioned games, plus Supercars II - brilliant top-down racing game where you equipped your car with missiles and armour. Split-screen for 2-player was amazing. Still would stand up today I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'd forgotten about Speedball 2. It was excellent. "Ice cream! Ice cream!" Not old enough to remember all these ancient games you lot speak of has to be Hearts of iron, I've never played any of the HOI games, but i'm looking forward to the new one being released this year (i think?). Looks excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Seeing as you all have posted your computer history's I might as well post mine as well Toshiba msx then commodore 64, spekky 48k amiga 500, Amiga 1200, ps1, Xbox, PC, Xbox 360. With most of these there has been a cross over where I would play both depending on what I felt like. Best all time games from the past would be civ 1 and 2, premier manager on the Amiga played them to death when I was at college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just thought of another old classic. Frontier: elite 2. Was tempted to buy the new updated elite: dangerous but I know how much time I would need to spend playing it and its time I just don't have lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that probably has more gameplay than 99% of all games in existence and was made first in late 80's early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it for the NES... the klaxon siren noise that sounded when the Cylons (think that's what they were called) attacked you still haunts me!

phart Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The later version had intergalactic hyperdrives, i mind me and my mate had all our money in this shipment and (the ships all had snake names?if i mind right, Gecko etc) we were almost destroyed and we had to hit it to escape, 30 second countdown. Totally other galaxy no clue about good places to trade etc, then started a mammoth quest to get back to the first galazy (think there was 8) like Odysseus. Was a great, great game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldo Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Military lasers were the business!... another game which was also really good was Privateer 2 - the darkening for the pc.. like elite but had a good story line but had video cut scenes with Clive Owen.
