Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Hehe, there are lots of games like Shadow of the Beast that you only remember for its graphics, the game themselves where pretty much crap big_smile ..

I mean, the fucking stones you had to jump over in last ninja, how much did that suck big_smile .. But who can argue with the last ninja music?

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Civilization (and Colonization)
Mega Lo Mania
the two Monkey Island games.
Dune II
Lemmings
Settlers
Jimmy Whites Snooker
Gods
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 2
Another World
Speedball

Honorable mention: Pinball Fantasies. Not really a great game, but I played it for months in a row with a friend whose Amiga 1200 keyboard was broken (from hitting it too much out of frustration with Another World) and this was the only game we could still play. We got so good at it that we won an Amiga CD32 at some Amiga fair, where we had to play the game jumping around on a big floor controller big_smile

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Pinball Fantasies; was that the one with the Graveyard in it?

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

No I think that was Pinball Dreams, the first installment of the Pinball games. I believe Pinball Fantasies had a Ghost House theme. Or perhaps I mix the two up, I don't really remember.

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Still re-playing all the LucasArts Adventures from time to time with scummvm. Never gets boring.

Well I was hooked on the Graveyard machine for months in a row. All night long.

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

@brian

simon the sorceror was one of a slew of point and click games that owed a sort of debt of inspiration to the lucasarts series.... i'm not sure if it used the scumm engine, but it was pretty much monkey island (likeable yet incompetent hero saves the world) with a fantasy setting and a sort of "typically british" sense of humour. the puzzles were mostly funny and there were a lot of great details which make these games great. the sequels pretty much sucked.

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Everyone here is talking about Amiga games!!! C64 deserves a topic on its own...
Anyway I play Wizball on c64 from time to time and it's one of the greatest game ever.

Yep, spent a looong time playing C64 Wizball as a teenager, a real classic.

Also this one (Maniac Mansion):

I remember being amazed by how much freedom the player was given.

Creatures was good too.. but damned frustrating:

Re: Amiga and C64 gaming.

Holy shit. No one here played Moonstone? I think that was the game, along with Cannon Fodder, Wings, Settlers and Civilization that had me planted by the amiga all of my waking hours. All you do is travel the land, fight different beasts in different settings, buy equipment, fight more shit, fight dragons and sometimes other knights... it's awesome!
