One Amiga game and a desert island...

Dastardly · 26 March 2002, 22:01

I know its a horrible thought but Id like to know....
If you were stranded on an island and could have only one Amiga game to play for the next erm..5 years.....which one and why?

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place

Djay · 26 March 2002, 22:03

cool, i also thought about asking this question...

my choice would be Frontier - Elite 2 because you can play it forever, most other games have a ending and you have to start from the begining again, i'd explore the galaxy after exploring the island

Dastardly · 26 March 2002, 22:05

Good choice, I think Id have to agree on that one.
(and its not a bitmap game) :hooooo

This is the best thread idea I have seen since "Top 15 dead TV child stars" that Twistin posted a while back.
Hmmmm, Dast. It's a touuuuuuuhhgie indeed. But If I had only one game, it'd be one with tons of replay value. I'd go for Fields of Glory AGA. Incredible Napoleonic wargame. Many posibilities and variations in the battles!
I have every Napoleonic game EVER for every system, right up to the newest "Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory" for the PC. Nothing compares to Fields of Glory though!

I would take ishar 3 (aga) because I'm already trying to complete it for a few years!

and Fred, there is a game called "Napoleon's Russian Campaign". But it's new and I don't know what it is like.

jmmijo · 26 March 2002, 22:36

I'd have to agree with Elite 2 - Frontier as it's really a never ending story

Walker · 26 March 2002, 22:44

I would take "Gazza's Super Soccer". It's so bleeding boring I would stop playing after 5 minutes and do something useful instead. Build a hut, catch some fish and find a volleyball to talk to.

And I suppose you would NOT call it Wilson

I'd take the all time classic civilization. Random map generator will keep the game intresting, but I do have to say I have really played that game out over the years, dunno if I could play it 5 more years full time

Hmmm that reminds me, I never did finish CADAVER level 4.

Amiga1992 · 27 March 2002, 02:15

I´d take Turrican II... I need great music, the music test feature will come in handy!

th4t1guy · 27 March 2002, 02:55

I'd go with Kingsoft's Emerald Mine.

Shatterhand · 27 March 2002, 08:21

I think I would go for Sensible World of Soccer.. there's no other game I played more than this one, and I could try to win EVERY tournament in the game with EACH team... that surely would take more than 5 years

Frontier is a good choice too

Tim Janssen · 27 March 2002, 16:05

I agree with Akira. Turrican 2 is the Amiga game I would play on a deserted island. For 11 years I am playing this game once in a while and I am still not bored with it.

27 March 2002, 16:15

Id have to agree with Shatterhand, its definitely got to be Sensible World Of Soccer!!!
I spent years playing it & I could spend another 5 or so still playing it!!!

CPC464 · 27 March 2002, 17:21

Hmmmm tough decision to make but it boils down to 2 games PIRATES or MOONSTONE...

I think it would have to be Pirates

Drake1009 · 27 March 2002, 18:32

Maybe Lotus 3 or Jaguar??

Dastardly · 27 March 2002, 18:40

You could play Lotus 3 or Jaguar for 5 years????!!!!

Fair enough if you could

but Id need something a bit deeper. But thats just me.

RetroMan · 27 March 2002, 18:40

I completely agree with CPC464 and would also take Pirates! with me

I´m playing this for ages now, freeing my familie over and over again, taking over almost every town, but it´s still enjoyable

I think I will still play this game when I´m 80 years old
