1994 Amiga Hall of Fame Nominations

Freakyweakywoo · 23 July 2005, 12:06

After EAB turmoil, after many flame wars and even after RCK's sick psychological experiment of running the forum with Mods, it’s finally here.

(Queue fanfare and fireworks)

IT’S...... the how on earth did he drag this out for over a year now 1994 Amiga Hall of Fame Nominations

(Music fades)

And I'm your host, Freaky.

Just a quick recap of what you need to do, this may after all be the first time you have nominated.

You must know the rules by now, you are limited to nominating 10 only, any more and I just forget to read them. If you’re having trouble narrowing it down to ten then take a look to see if any on your list have already been nominated. It could save you from some tough decisions. But please do feel free to nominate some games more than twice as it cuts down the amount of typing I have to do in order to get the poll up and running, and lets face it some games are so good you just want to have your name connected to them in one way or another. Once all the nominations are in, I check to see if they are all 1994, then type (cut and paste) them all into a poll and we vote, after about two weeks a winner is declared.

To make life easy for you, a full list of games released in 1994 can be found by searching HOL or by clicking Here

A few things to mention, by 1994 a few games were being reissued or re-released with some slight modification on CD32 and also as AGA versions, I would rather not have these types of games nominated as this (1994) isn’t their original year of release. The only circumstance I would change this is if there is an overwhelming view that the game has been modified to such a degree than it now constitutes a new game in all but its name. So if you are voting for an AGA or CD32 release just double check that the game isn’t a reissue/ re-released. Right, time to go and look up my nominations

1994 wasn't that good a year to be honest...

Oh well here's my list, although SWOS is gonna win.
I will be voting for Ruff'n'Tumble though, my fave miggy game of all time!

Assassin SE
Clockwiser
Jungle Strike
Roadkill
Ruff'n'Tumble
SWOS
Theme Park
Zeewolf

Freakyweakywoo · 23 July 2005, 12:29

To add a little flavour here are mine:

Arcade Pool
Dreamweb
Formula One Masters (where are you now Steve Rennocks?)
and obv Sensible World of Soccer!

SWOS might not win, everyone might think SWOS is going to win easy so I'm going to vote for something else. Then it would lose

Figi · 23 July 2005, 12:34

Well, here we go:

- Banshee

- Death or Glory - The Battle of Morgan (I spend months trying to get the HD install version some years later, after Software 2000 switched to the PC :P)

- DreamWeb (very nice atmosphere, I liked the diary that came with the game and told the background story)

- Elfmania

- Jungle Strike (need a pro at the winch? call me!)

- Microcosm (not so much for the actual gameplay, but for showing that the CD32 had actually some superior technology

- Reunion

- Ruff 'n Tumble (in terms of fast action superior even to Turrican)

- Super StarDust (for the gfx)

- Zeewolf

BTW, why 1994?

Belgarath · 23 July 2005, 12:34

Arcade Pool
Banshee
Crystal Dragon
DreamWeb
Fury of the Furries
King's Quest VI
Skidmarks
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Super Stardust
UFO: Enemy Unknown

Because we have already done 85-93

T_hairy_bootson · 23 July 2005, 12:59

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Sensible World Of Soccer
Power Drive
Jungle Strike
PGA European Tour
Cannon Fodder 2

Graham Humphrey · 23 July 2005, 15:50

Does JetStrike AGA count? IMHO it's a superior game to the ECS version.

Other than that, how about:

Bubba n Stix
On The Ball World Cup Edition
PGA European Tour

Can't think of any more good ones that haven't been mentioned already at the minute. Mainly because there aren't very many.

(Hang on, though - it's edit time I think. How did I forget Lamborghini American Challenge and Fly Harder? That is DEFINITELY all I can think of!)

Marcuz · 23 July 2005, 18:46

YAY! The Freaky Wokie is back!
mine are:
Darkmere
Kid Chaos

actually the second one is not really a favourite, but i don't seem to find many interesting games in 1994

plasmatron · 23 July 2005, 18:59

Quick The Thunder Rabbit
Marvin`s Marvelous Adventure
Software Manager
Ace The Space Case / PD

While AGA version is much better than the original, its just pretty much Jetstrike with a few bells and whistles on it.

gifgit · 23 July 2005, 20:36

RUff`n` tumble (This was the game that made turrican 2 totally redundant)
Darkmere (Cool graphics and absorbing gameplay)
Super stardust (Stunning graphics combined with idiot proof control)
Cannon fodder 2 (The game that made me play point and click games)

Chuckles · 23 July 2005, 20:46

Thanks for the handy link to the 1994 search results, as it makes things ever so much simpler for the lazy among us.

While SWOS may well end up winning, if so it won't likely do so due to the votes of those of us on this side of the "big pond". Soccer simply has never caught on over here to any great degree, and I'd be as likely to cast a vote for "Advanced Lawnmower Simulator" as I would for SWOS - at least that is something that touches on the familiar for me (and tomorrow it will play a prominent role in the start of my day, unlike anything related to soccer).

That having been said, here are my personal nominees from the class of '94:

Alien Breed: Tower Assault
Cannon Fodder
Civilization
Lemmings
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
UFO: Enemy Unknown

A few problems, Cannon fodder (1993), Civilization (1992) and Lemmings (1991)

As I said lots and lots of re-releases and reissues out in 1994 to catch you all out.

Chuckles · 24 July 2005, 00:58

Well, that ought to make it a lot easier for me to decide which one of those will get my vote, assuming that someone else doesn't nominate one that I missed, convincing me to change my mind.

Muzkat · 24 July 2005, 05:58

Body Blows Galactic
Dragonstone
Roadkill
T-Racer
Top Gear 2
Zombie Apocalypse 2

I need to play more 1994 games.

Ruff n Tumble is one of the greatest games ever. But why makes it TURRICAN 2 redundant. Both are brilliant jump n shoot games sure. But Ruff n Tumble is a bit more jump n run stylish. For me Turrican 2 is unbeatable in the jump n shoot / shoot em up action genre. Anyway. Thatz a matter of taste of course.

BACK TO THE NOMINATIONS

Critter · 25 July 2005, 12:56

actually the year 1994 brought many topgun value titles to the scene!!!

top of my list would have to be "Benefactor" though.

Dastardly · 25 July 2005, 17:55

About time you did 94 you lazy git

My picks are

Ruff n Tumble
Theme Park
Darkmere

That is all

Freakyweakywoo · 27 July 2005, 09:31

That seems to be it, I'll leave it a few more hours and then its voting time. So if you have been putting it off, do it now
