First Amiga game you ever witnessed........... - Page 16

amiga · 01 May 2008, 21:04

The first Amiga game I saw, was "Pinball Dreams" on a friend's A600 back in 1993.
Then, when in 1998 I discovered WinUAE, Pinball Dreams was the first game I tried!

Groundhog · 03 May 2008, 11:07

The first game I saw was "Le Manoir de Mortevielle" (Morteville Manor). This mystery adventure game contained synthetized speech and very atmospheric footstep sound samples.

I was so amazed ! Oh my god, the computer is talking to me, and in french !

I owned a C64 at the time. What a difference!

just dug out the game, your right, i could sware it was
earlyer? how time flies when you get an old man :-)

and your memory starts to go ??

Graham Humphrey · 03 May 2008, 21:37

Also the A500 Plus wasn't released until 1991 (I got one then when I was five years old), must have been a standard A500

EDIT: Erm, unless you first saw the Amiga in 1992 and not 1988...

Siggy999 · 03 May 2008, 21:46

First game I SAW on an Amiga was Seven Cities of Gold.

First game I played on an Amiga was Defender of the Crown

he bought a new a500plus. if it wasnt released until 1991 then thats it.
as a while later the a1200 was on sale in currys for about £394?

i was trying figure out whether i was still working or got made redundant.

so i must appologise for getting my dates mixed up.

Mine was Great Giana Sisters. I actually had a copy before I owned an amiga. A friend had just purchased an amiga 500 (shipped with WB 1.2) I had it with Defender of the Crown, and Ports of Call for about 2 months before getting my amiga 2000.

Claude666 · 15 May 2008, 13:12

The first games I ever witnessed and played were Bart vs The Space Mutants, Captain planted and Lemmings. I got them with my Amiga. Awsome memories

rkauer · 16 May 2008, 07:01

My first game was "Addam's family" (please, don't laugh). After that, Lemmings, Gods, Desert Strike ... Cadaver (ECS), WALKER, (MODS, put an infinite signal here), to Total Chaos AGA, today.

Basquemactee1 · 16 May 2008, 14:33

The first ever game I witnessed was TV Sports Football. A mate of mine had bought an A500, and he & his brother used to play it. He challenged me to a game, whupped my arse big style, and from then on I was hooked (eventually did learn to trash the git.....lol). After that it was downhill all the way with other mates, including a Sensi Soccer league once a week with 8 of us....(just a good excuse for a beerup really.....lol).

Hobbe · 18 May 2008, 19:42

"Mindshadow", didn't really catch my attention but that was the one

Macca · 19 May 2008, 13:18

OOh Mindshadow - originally saw that on the Atari ST - damn good game. That and Borrowed Time (again on the ST) were my first real adventure games where I really wanted a 16-bit machine.

First Amiga game I ever saw, I think was Defender of the Crown, at the Avon Micro den of pir...eh..I mean 'computing' Club

..ooh, 'real' pictures, after 8-bit pixellated naffness..first thing I played was probably Menace.

skan · 26 July 2008, 22:25

Very first game I saw on Amiga was Warhead and I loved it immediately.
Less than a year later, I bought my first A500 and spent the whole summer playing sooooooooo many games!

(mostly TurricanII, SpeedballII, Dungeon Master and Monkey Island!

)

Yoto · 26 July 2008, 22:30

The first games i played on a Amiga were Shadow of the Beast 1 and Kick Off 2.The first Demo i saw on a Amiga was "I´ve got the power" by Alcatraz, and that really impressed me!

gklinger · 27 July 2008, 01:06

The first game that made my jaw drop was Defender of the Crown. It was an original game and looked and sounded like nothing I had ever seen or heard before. I was also well impressed with The Pawn and The Faery Tale Adventure.

Those were such good days.

cybernoid · 27 July 2008, 01:44

Blood Money.
I didnt liked the game (It was difficult and I'm one of the worldest worst players), but the intro made me implore my father to buy an Amiga 500. Spectrum +2 had no chances and later i found AmigaBasic pretty cool.

-My- first 'game' was in fact Soundtracker 1.0

Leffmann · 27 July 2008, 12:34

Hmm hard to remember, but it has to be one of the late 80's games. A handful of games with strong memories: Barbarian, Brataccas, Rolling Thunder, Vampire's Empire.
