Smile well..

I`ve played forgotten worlds on the Amiga, was quite good... didn`t really hold my interest, and I never played it in the arcades. Not bad though

The Amiga-version of Forgotten Worlds is good, but the controls are crap. Better go for the Mega Drive/Genesis or arcade version.

The Plague is good, very nice graphic, but damn hard

Battle Squadron is great

BTW, why do you ask? Just download them and see for yourself.

Like it's has been said before, Forgotten World is not fantastic, just average fun.

the name "Final Countdown" rings me a bell, but I can't really remember what's about.

Battle Squadron is DA BOMB, undoubtely the best vertical shoot- em up available for amiga, and one of my favourites shmups ever, get it NOW

Well I must admit, that I only played Battle Squadrom from your list Some other sound familiar, but .....

Anyway, I have to agree with the others, Battle Squadron IS a damn good game

I'm waiting for Cody to post the screenshots , but anyway: You're a woman which has to run around in an labyrinth-like, futuristic complex and do stuff. I don't know what stuff, as I only know this game from a review.

Final Countdown.....hmmm

Its the Europe Song !!! :P
'its the final countdown.....'


Forgoten Worlds its a good game, its playable on Callus or Mame. Its a side scroller shooter, and you can change the angle of your shoots by pushing 2 buttons.

Anyway , from Capcom, I prefer shooters like Varth, or 1941 , they're AWESOME .

Well, I waited and he never posted anything, so I will post it for him: Here's the (Cody created) double barrel screenshot, plus I'll just go ahead and post the game, too (in the zone, natch).
