Amiga Hall of Fame 1996 Nominations

[killergorilla]

I refuse to vote on 2005. Looks awful.

I think we're going to have to have a 98-present poll or something

You know I think a Data disk was nominated before, I couldn't decide at the time weather it should be allowed or not, but as it was in one of the Amiga golden years and it was never going to win I didn't say anything and let it go. I'm really not sure about it still, part of me thinks of data disks as half sequels but then again would that mean I would have to allow season updates like the two swos game to be entered also? I think I will allow datadisks that add significant content, but not allow football season updates to be nominated, that is unless there is a large objection.

A wise conclusion sire, you are so wise.

Battle Craft

Battlecraft has piqued my curiosity, can someone zone it?

Alas, I sold my miggy in 1995 and have nothing to add to this debate. Was playing Grand Prix II and Quake on my P133...

Yeah i know, it to me was the first year where i actually thought at the time that things were starting to dwindle. Mainly due to the fact that all the previous major publishers in the Amiga market were leaving and although we were getting new groups in to create games for the Amiga such as Marble Eyes.

This was the year that i got really really worried it was going to die, and yep it did only a couple of years later, but i stuck with it till 2000.

I was a die hard Amiga user.

Favourite games for 1996 were:

Trapped
Black Viper
Capital Punishment
Evils Doom
Xtreme Racing

Well i dont know how i got it back then ( one of the BBS's somewhere ), i was playing Evils Doom back in 1996 and i probably played half way through before i couldnt go any further, which must have been due to a bug in it?

I would have actually bought the game it was that good, but your right, it actually didnt seem to be available to buy!?.

I must have been the only person playing it
