Amiga games with good menus/shops

killergorilla · 14 May 2007, 16:55

Hello people,

Another strange/crap request from KG!

I'm interested in any Amiga games which had memorable/good looking shops/menus, as I'm thinking about the in possibly of including a couple of different skins for my front end and thought the menus would suit the front end perfectly.

Examples of what I mean:

Xenon 2:

Chaos Engine:

Moby games hotlinking isn't working.

I like music in the menus. Such as for Dogs Of War in the gun selection screen, or Eye Of the Beholder 1 and 2 in the character selection screen.

But Xenon 2 looks cooler, even though it does not sound it.

Not as interesting as Xenon II or Gods but the Blood Money shop is ok:

Also, doesn't Son Shu-Shi have some kind of shop? Couldn't find a screen shot though...

Calgor · 14 May 2007, 17:09

That looks ugly DamienD! Actually, now that I look at it more gives me the nice feeling of good old workbench 1.3!

well... Gods and Speedball 2 go along the ones you mention, but you know that already.
this is not an easy one! the others that i can think of are:

Perihelion (menu)
Heimdall 1 and 2 (shops)
Alien Breed 1, 2 and add ons (menu)

the best i can think of is Perihelion though, and even so, it is hard to adapt as it rely heavily on the graphics.

Son Shu Shi looks like this:

Blood Money?!! Are you insane? Looks awful!

Gods and Alien Breed are both sensible choices... although Alien Breed would be a bit... green.

TotalChaosAGA at the start game config selections. Sorry, don't have screenshots.

Retro-Nerd · 14 May 2007, 17:18

Pirates Gold: Good shopkeeper graphics, but ughly text.

DamienD · 14 May 2007, 17:18

Super Car and Super Cars II... No screenshots though

Hmm..

some good examples, thanks everyone.

Some of them simply won't lend themselves to a games frontend but others can easily be recreated and still be easily identified as being from the original games.

Well, the SWOS menu is pretty much perfection.
