Games that you wish were released on the Amiga - Page 24

Harry · 01 December 2010, 20:36

A conversion of the cute little platformer Herbert from the Atari-8-bit would have been nice (see Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert...mputer_game%29 and the sequel Herbert 2 on Atarimania http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari...t-ii_2436.html - the Herbert 1 version on Atarimania is bad). Both commercial games are freeware now. Joystick with normal and autofire button is recommended, if you want to give it a try.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Bongo there is an Amiga version; I suppose this is probably just the usual mistakes and misinformation that is normally on Wikipedia?

s2325 · 08 June 2011, 19:22

Yes, I had it on disk compilation with Contra...

Minuous · 09 June 2011, 03:19

Cool! Any chance you could upload it to the Zone?

s2325 · 09 June 2011, 03:36

No, sorry, Contra and Congo Bongo weren't released for Amiga. Wikipedia is full of errors (Amiga Sonic and Contra included).

Minuous · 09 June 2011, 10:42

As I suspected.

I would correct it but it would just get reverted back... :-(

Contra wiki entry doesn't list Amiga anymore, so you have a chance on Congo Bongo.

I wish several of the classic Apogee/ID titles were released on the Amiga, such as the Commander Keen series... while not up to Amiga standards when it comes to graphics and sound, they're very playable and fun platformers.

Also the C64 version of Defender of the Crown - I wish they'd rereleased the game for the Amiga with the improvements they put in the C64 version.

Minuous · 10 June 2011, 15:07

Interesting, I didn't know the C64 version had improvements...can you point some out?

PC MS-DOS platform game Eracha: [ Show youtube player ]

_ThEcRoW · 11 June 2011, 17:04

I always saw mr. nutz a super mario world clone, with the map and different courses in the game.

s2325 · 16 June 2011, 17:32

3d24 - very good puzzle + action game with small robot, hard because of unresponsive controls (or maybe it's just my new-old joypad which I bought today from flea market): [ Show youtube player ]

Albion 1995 (Great Adventure/RPG but canceled on Amiga!)

)

Bermuda Syndrome 1995 (Similar to Flashback)

Magic Carpet 1 1994 (Was popular on the PC)

The Dig 1995 (Underated adventure by LucasArts)

Master of Orion 1 & 2 1993/1996 (Cult status on pc)

Settlers 2 1996 (Canceled on Amiga, nooo!)

Descent 1 1995 ( Played this game in LAN alot, awesome!)

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat 1995 (one of the hardest games ever but i completed it!

)

Bermuda Syndrome engine for Amiga OS 3.x http://aminet.net/game/actio/BS_68k.lha You need also files from PC DOS version.

Starquake. Atari ST has it, Amiga hasnt. Although it was planned

kamelito · 28 November 2011, 16:59

I liked Starquake on the Speccy, don't like the ST Gfx very much, but I'm playing with it.

Without reading thread.

Any of the metal slug games

marcfrick2112 · 28 November 2011, 21:42

Agree with the Metal Slug games, as well.
Well, I keep a Mega Drive/32X/CD setup Mainly to play all the weird Japanese shooters!

Super Cho'Aniki (Amiga version was announced, but never made)
Keio Flying Squadron (Just utterly WEIRD game, an '030 AGA miggy could have ROCKED that game!)
Steel Empire (No, not the wargame that IS on the Amiga, but the Jules Verne-inspired sideways shooter)

Predabot · 28 November 2011, 22:52

Hey guys ( I live. I'm back. Maybe...), I just realized that it would be cool to put this into a special site or some document that put together all of the suggestions, and ranks them, as well as list them in the order of most popular. =)

It would include screenshots and even game-play video from the Non-Ami version. Sort of like a special section on HoL, or Lemon Amiga.

Yeah... that'd be the ticket! What do you think, lads? Would you be in favor of such feature? It would certainly be an interesting list, methinks...

( although I figure we all know who the "usual suspects" will be...

)

Snow Brothers.

I remember reading many years ago that Ocean France had been working/sitting on it, but for some reason it never got distributed.

Very frustrating.

Eventually found some ADFs of it, but did anyone ever actually own the original in the UK (or anywhere in Europe for that matter)?
