The game dates back to 1983. The ST version would have been released in 1985. The Amiga version was converted a few years later, but the copyright from the ST version remained.
Have a look |

Most of those Infocom games were later than 1985, looks like whoever did it just used the date Infocom started amiga titles in the US, I don't think there were any Infocom releases until 1986 in the UK.

Re: Time Bandit; it was originally released in '83 for the Dragon 32 (remember that?) and was by far the best game for the computer.

Yeah, that WAS a great version. Anyone know of a good Dragon32 emulator? (and game images for that matter)

Wasn't Mindwalker one of the first Amiga games?
I seem to remember this being bundled with my Amiga 1000 (in Australia) |

Incedently, the best version of Chuckie Egg is on the Amstrad CPC. The C64 Version is rubbish as was the speccy version. Dragon. Spectrum. Amstrad C64 And of course, not forgetting the Amiga version rendered almost unplayable by the background graphics... Amiga /me turns sad chuckie egg geek mode off |

The Dragon version may have been greenscreen but it played superbly.

I'm not saying it didn't have great gameplay but I know the green screen was enough to put me off!
The spectrum had the usual colour clash problems but I still don't know why the C64 version was so bad though. The Amiga version has great playability when you can see 'Hen House Harry' but sometimes he just blends into the background graphics. I love the way he turns into a fried egg when he dies though! |
