Amiga hall of fame, nominations 1987

Freakyweakywoo · 11 May 2004, 03:35

Ok, A couple of months I polled amiga hall of fame 1986, Defender of the Crown was the winner. Now I would like the nominations for games to go into the fianl vote for Amiga hall of fame 1987. Use HOL to get a short list (or do it from memory). Anyhow, to get thing going he are a few of my nominations.

Arkanoid
Test Drive
StarGlider
Impact

if you want your fave game to have a chance then post it up here. The actual pole its self will be when I decied it is, but no massive hurry.

Hmm, very hard for me to choose. Just noticed a lot of these are still ST ports and as a result I found myself choosing nearly all ST titles (still owned one back then)

Here are a select few:

Barbarian
PowerPlay (for it’s unique nature)
World Games
Test Drive (Looked good in ads anyway)
Impact
Arkanoid
Terrorpods (Joke, leave out - it was crap!)
Three Stooges (More of a showcase title)

Wasn’t that much out. Looks like I owned an ST at about the right time before switching.

Freakyweakywoo · 11 May 2004, 14:33

So we have so far:

Arkanoid
Test Drive
StarGlider
Ninja Mission
Impact!
Police Quest:In pursuit of the death angle
Backlash
Beyond Zork:The coconut of Quendor
Hollywood Hijinx
Kings Quest:Quest for the crown
Kings Quest 2:Romancing the throne
Leisure suit larry in the land of the lounge lizard
The Lucking Horror
The Sentinel
Space Quest:The sarien encounter
Strip poker data disk #4:Crystal & Dawn
(makes me wounder what was wrong with disks 1-3, full of munters?)
Uninvited
Amegas
King of chicago
Little computer people
Shadow gate
The three stoges
Winter games
World games
Barbarian
Power play:the game of the gods

Is it me or were Sierra putting out a lot of good games back then?
Just so I know, what is the largest number of choises I can have in one pole?

What about CITY DEFENCE ? I loved that game man

Freakyweakywoo · 12 May 2004, 20:40

Ok, City Defence is added, anymore? nice sized list. I'll leave the nominations open for a few more days incase any later commers have some more titles to add.

fisken uno · 12 May 2004, 20:56

1987 was a BIG year for Sierra. They released some classics that year. Being a Sierra freak, I really can't choose which one I like the best. I just love them all

killergorilla · 13 May 2004, 02:02

killergorilla · 13 May 2004, 02:03

Bloody hell people. How about you mention some more?

You do know you can all only choose one? We're gonna end up with about 70 games with only about 20 of them receiving votes!

That's just bad logic. Or good logic executed badly

Dizzy · 13 May 2004, 09:51

KG SHUT UP

This is a BRAINSTORM (for people with a *****

) so spitting out titles you like is a good ideas, then you can make a selection afterward. Then when this is over, we can all choose 2-3 titles we would like to see in the vote. Then noone can blame anyone for not being heard

Tim Janssen · 13 May 2004, 10:20

...Kingsoft's Garrison. It's an excellent Boulderdash clone.

CodyJarrett · 13 May 2004, 10:38

Do you mean Emerald Mine? Garrison is a Digital Dreams/Rainbow Arts Gauntlet clone.

Tim Janssen · 13 May 2004, 11:09

Ah no, I mean Garrison. It seems I mixed up the publishers.

plasmatron · 13 May 2004, 13:06

GARRISON is of course a GAUNTLET clone. You are right Cody.

Can`t wait for the 1988 votes. Man i have millions of titles in mind for that year.
