Best AGA game that fits on 1 floppy?

emuola · 03 November 2014, 16:29

I'm taking my A1200 (see sig) to a public retro game event. As I don't want that someone screws up my 8GB cf card, I thought that I'll leave the cf card off and only run a few games directly from floppy. As the idea is to show AGA games, I'm asking your advice on suitable games that use AGA and fit on one floppy (don't want to swap disk when the machine is on display).

Are there any?

Robocod AGA?

I know it's not 1 floppy but it would be a crime not to have Putty Squad!

I will see if I can think of some 1 Disk games later, but everything coming to mind is at least 2 Disks.

Use "Search" function in HOL:

How good are you expecting the players to be?

Would disk 1 of a multidisk game be enough gameplay, Amiga games tend to be pretty hard by todays standard.

A good point

I presume on average the players' skill level is nothing spectacular

You could boot up directly to Jimneray's X-bench and select your WHD games from there, that would give you protection from people messing with your WB install?

If you don't mind to lose AGA you know you have Turrican in a single floppy.

Actually I have the X-bench installed, but there's still a chance that someone somehow messes up the hd :/ I've seen this happen before

Thanks for the suggestions

Could be worse, johnim has had two CF stolen at events I think.

Maybe get a small 512mb/1gb CF and make a very basic Workbench install that wont matter so much if there is a problem.

Mostly at events people don't change the game anyway, they just play what is loaded or ask if you have other games.

Is mounting a storage device internally a possibility? Should prevent casual theft...
