Your favourite Amiga games developer - FINAL - Page 2

I agree, Galahad.

And the most advanced T17 titles weren´t produced in-house.
(Super Stardust, Alien Breed 3D...)

Kristian95 · 26 September 2007, 21:23

stupid poll hehehehe, Cinemaware all the way

Hungry Horace · 26 September 2007, 23:25

some great points you raise there Galahad... youve done a good job of making me feel more guilty about not being able to vote for Bitmaps! but theres a few elements i feel you "brush past" which make me feel ok about giving it to Sensi

tough call though

SWOS is so much more than another "football game" -

and no mention of Cannon Fodder?

BippyM · 27 September 2007, 22:01

I would have said Sensible for SWOS & mega lo Mania but as an overall package Bitmaps get my vote!

I enjoyed most if not all their games, spending days/nights on Cadaver, Gods, Speedball II, Xenon II, Chaos Engine. Xenon was pap, and Speedball I never played.. CE2 was pap too!

Team17 were fab at what they did, but they were not overly original and I think Superfrog was/is massively over-rated. Project X and Alien Breed were both good, but Worms bored me after a while, and I have lost respect for the franchise cuz it's all they do now! Speris Legacy I just couldn't get into, AB3d and AB3D 2 were poo imo!

If you don't rate football games, thats exactly what SWOS is, just 'another' football game.

Cannon Fodder was good, but it had quite limited appeal, Mega-Lo-Mania was by far the more accomplished of the two. In my opinion of course!

Zetr0 · 27 September 2007, 23:14

*shakes head*

Gods? please.... its not anymore than the 2rd rate platformer at best...

To be honest there are a few of other platformers of that year that spank it hands down but arguably between a game of gods or a forced 2 hour session of Rick Dangerious 2 and a half then simply i prefer rick dangerious2 1/2! and that is an exercise in inrcedible tediousness.

Oh and that list (of few) i was on about

Leander
PP Hammer
Turrican II
First Samurai

but other than booting the game up for the intro-tune moment.... i will never understand why.... Gods gets the Ooohs and Ahhhs.... damn shite and did i mention yawning-boring.

[okay.... bitmap brothers hate is now off...]

Please dont get me wrong though, I do love Chaos Engine, absolutely awesome from concept to execution! and I honestly believe Speedball 2 will still be spoken on the lips of much older men in 20 years time, while sheading a tear for bygons past...

(cannot comment on cadaver as i never played it...)

but as much as i loved CE and SP2.... i would give them up for Any alien breed LOL but thats just personal preff...

I haven't actualy voted here yes as,..... well i cannot... i can think of a couple of titles from each that are indeed awesome... but if any i think i will vote sensible... with mega-lo-mania / snesi golf / sensi soccer /

well now imma stumped....

project x
worms (even if they just marketed / capitalized infact franchised on it!)
Alien Breed 92
Alien Breed 2
Alien Breed TA
Alien Breed 3d

bugger....

sod voting... its to damn hard!

Heh, as if I would EVARRRRR vote against the Bitmaps! (check my sig)

Sorry I was just messing

Graham Humphrey · 27 September 2007, 23:26

Well that will teach me for having signatures disabled in my options then won't it?

Dastardly · 27 September 2007, 23:30

This poll is turning out to be very close so far.

If the Bitmaps don't get it then I hope it goes to Sensible.

Sensi · 03 October 2007, 14:57

Huh, T17 at the top? Surprise for me. They did a lot of good games and few excellent but BB did more excellent games.
I voted for SS because there is none other game I spent so much time with than SWOS.

DDNI · 03 October 2007, 15:30

NOVAGEN why did you ignore it!!!?? I am gonna come over there and tear yer head off!

Minuous · 04 October 2007, 11:11

Why are there only 3 developers/publishers listed? they are not even very good ones.

Where are Psygnosis, EA, Firebird, Sierra, Anco, Microillusions, Origin, Ocean, US Gold, etc.?

I see

Oh well, there's no accounting for taste as they say

I guess I will vote for SensiSoft out of these three, the other two made mostly rubbish games...

Hmm, I see the other two are in the lead, goes to show
