First Amiga game you ever witnessed........... - Page 18

AmigaFriend · 17 September 2008, 19:14

I went to a shop to buy an AtariST for music and I went out with an Amiga 500 in 1988. The sound blow me out! I didn't even KNEW the Amiga existed to that day.

The first game i saw and played was Amegas. The one that impressed me first was a playable demo of Space Ace. Many would come after that...

Defender of the crown, on one of the first a500's to come into the uk. I can still remember the title music

Blood Money for me too. It came with an A500 pack. Both my brother and I thought it was awesome too. Although, it's only with deep sense of shame that I can admit that.

Why? It was awesome.. no wait... that was AWESOME, the game of the same name....

Seriously tho.. the Blood Money intro was fab for its time.

Blood Money on C64 is different, but it's also good game.

khph_re · 07 May 2009, 19:37

Elite and psygnosis barbarian,

And some colour cycling heart animation.

I had an atari ST at the time, another friend showed me HAM mode and deluxe paint in hires interlace (ST needed a monitor for hires, and it was only mono). And that was it, hocked my ST, C64, and put my christmas money towards getting a second hand A500.

The first game I ever witnessed (via emulation) was Total Chaos. I actually never really knew about how good Amigas were but I heard of Total Chaos and decided to install the emulator and battle through the problems just to play that game.

Now, I know everyone will pee their pants at me doing that considering how great other Amiga games are but that is what I did. After that I have tried out quite a few great games especially the ones I had tried on my old Atari ST.

And that was what brought me here. Now I love to check out the EAB every time I switch my PC on (although I contribute very very little since I know little about Amigas).

But I do wish that I had been fortunate enough to witness a lot more games back in the day. I'd literally have killed to try out some of these games when I was wee!

My first ever experience with a game on a Commodore system was Bubble Dizzy

I cannot remember if i played it on the C64 or the Amiga first

but i remember being totally addicted to it years ago on both systems

Exl · 08 May 2009, 12:39

The Soccer Kid Beta. Either that or Rolling Ronny (I will never forget the creepy looking intro pic).

Yoto · 08 May 2009, 14:37

The first game i ever saw on an amiga was Shadow of The Beast, great music and graphics, i´ll never forget the shock and awe.

Deja Vu, deja vu...

Firthy2002 · 21 July 2009, 01:14

I didn't know anything about the Amiga before I got the A500+ in 1991. Cartoon Classics pack of course (don't think it was produced long enough to have more packs!).

First game in after it was hooked up was Bart vs. The Space Mutants. Couldn't believe the quality of the intro! The game isn't brilliant, but I didn't know better at the time.

Then Captain Planet (hasn't stood the test of time either!) and Lemmings last. Lemmings got most of the repeated plays of those first three games though!

demusse · 21 July 2009, 01:38

Lemmings on the 1200 in the 90's but in the early 80's it was Stroker on the C64, the game was ... interesting...

hitchhikr · 21 July 2009, 03:17

Either Skyfox, Defender of the crown, One on One, Marble Madness, Archon or other some early Amiga Game on a NTSC A1000 (There wasn't many NTSC machines in Europe).

Hercules · 21 July 2009, 03:29

It Came From The Desert... Awsome game! I liked the speech as you whizzed through the hospital in your wheelchair. The nurses and doctor's would shout 'Their he goes! That's the guy!' as you made your escape, which would make me chuckle!

gleng · 06 August 2009, 13:00

I was going to get an ST, then I saw F/A-18 Interceptor running on the machine next to it.

Benighted · 06 August 2009, 22:39

I remember visiting my cousin, and my uncle had bought an A500. We played Gee Bee Air Rally, Test Drive and POW. I was blown away by the amazing graphics and sound. I also remember this speech application where you could type in words and the machine would speak the words back. Mindboggling stuff!

It wasn't cool to return to my house and my Atari XE system. Missile Command ... yei...

mjnurney · 30 August 2009, 11:07

For me , pictures in a Commodore mag (i was a c64 user at the time) of Defender of the crown......this was maybe 1987?

made me save up and buy a A500 in 1988 for £399.00

sheer joy

stevsurv · 30 August 2009, 13:35

P.O.W. and Faerytale adventure. Saw them played at a friends house and both just blew me away!

Got my first A500 2 weeks later.
