Best intro /outro ever on Amiga

Reynolds · 21 December 2008, 08:28

Dunno if this have been already discussed, but I'd like to know your opinion regarding the intros and outros in games.
Important how technically advanced if it is, how entertaining, etc. Also the worst to find.

My favourite is Liberation - Captive II.

favourite outro - Flimbo's Quest
favourite intro - Shadow of the Beast 2
worst intro - Street Hassle
worst outro - Flood

Best Intro : Heimdall
Best Outro : Turrican II (for the music)

Have to think about the worst ones

Paul_s · 21 December 2008, 12:23

Intro : Shadow of the Beast II
Outro : Cannon Fodder/Arabian Nights (i can't remember that many to be honest!)

Muzkat · 21 December 2008, 12:56

Best intro - either Birds of Prey, Shadow of the Beast II or Another World.

Not sure about best outro.

I agree, Liberation is awesome. I still watch the intro and think wow, its as good now as it was back when I first saw it on CD32 when it was released.

intro to Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues (CD32 version) is something... different

Don't know how big the CD32 version of Alien Breed 2 is, but do you mind to put it on Magix FTP?

I haven't seen the intro (just the normal AGA version) and would like to see it

s2325 · 22 December 2008, 00:09

I don't have it, I saw it on youtube (or maybe it was from Tower Assault

)
[edit] yes, it was from Tower Assault http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YpMjlimdaB0&fmt=18

Tower Assault is bundled with Alien Breed II on CD32, app. 115 MB zipped.

It's already on there

TCD · 22 December 2008, 00:30

Thanks for the info Damien

I already have AB Tower Assault, but didn't know AB II was on it too (need to check them all I guess

)

Reynolds · 22 December 2008, 09:02

Also we can mention the Flashback intro, although it's shorter on Amiga than on pc.
Onescapee also very good.
Beast II intro is a it short, of course i tells everything you have to know

Tower Assault intro is spectacular, but a bit "low cost" from creativity point, as if something is not rendered, then it's digitized. And I can't undestand the speech during the briefing... too much echo.

s2325 · 22 December 2008, 11:28

what is missing in Amiga version of Flashback intro?

Sensi · 22 December 2008, 12:23

Intros:
SOTB II
Frontier
Flashback
Last Ninja III

EDIT: And Moonstone, of course, Moonstone !!! And Settlers.

Moonstone outro is cool too. Father and son. Hand in hand ;-)

humble worm · 22 December 2008, 16:38

intro - sotb 2
outro - i dont know many of them as i suck at playing games

The PC, MegaCD versions have a few more extra scenes.

JuvUK · 22 December 2008, 16:46

both intro and outro were Wing Commander for me, back then it felt like a movie and i also felt rewarded for finishing the game

cheers, JuvUK

For intro's: Populous & Powermonger, I can't really put my finger on the reason why but they've always given me the chills. Probably because they're rather bombastic, reinforcing the idea of being a powerful god now that I think of it

Reynolds · 22 December 2008, 17:17

Did any populous games have any intro? IIRC Populous I had a demo alike thing with showing the scenery and some basic elements, Populous II even less, a logo with a scroller, not much. or am I missed something?
BTW from this point Powermonger: World War I also was quite disappointing when it was released, as I expected the same intro like int the first release, but with for example with the style of Campaign I or similar, but not with tanks, but soldiers.

Yeah, Flashback has not all the scenes on Amiga, like it has on pc or other versions.
