i put forward atom smasher. its like bomberman but with no bombs and the way to kill them is to push bricks on them

That is a fab game.... but I think I'll settle for Gravity Power, an awesome two-player game that you can lose your entire life to if you're not careful.

There have been a few really good freebies during the latter years of the Amiga. Amiga Format gave away the complete game UFO: Enemy Unknown on one of their cover CDs. Thats a great game and a brilliant giveaway.

Number one for me though has to be TFX which was given away for free by CU Amiga magazine. A game which otherwise would never have seen the light of day.

To me the best Coverdisk was CU Amiga full version of Amos

Full with compiler and all! Three disks smashed into one!

I also really liked stuff like the PD game Extreme Violence, and the full package of Imagine (a 3d app).

Yeah i valued applications more than games.

The latter coverdisks - by then i had mostly stopped the Amiga hobby - carried a lot of full stuff, but it was mostly lame, i actually preferred small demos of Chaos Engine, SWIV, Gods, Turrican 2, than full demos of some the crappier games from the end of the Amiga days.

Bombuzal's a pretty good game actually, quite under-rated.

The Amiga Action coverdisk with Tanx + the coverdisk with Galaga '92

DDNI · 31 March 2007, 16:58

How did I forget Tanx?

Pretty sure we discussed that in another thread not so long ago.

DDNI · 31 March 2007, 17:05

Yup Tanx crops up everywhere, a bit like Gonorrhea...

tanx? is this a differrent name for scorched tanx? a sort of worms game except with tanks

Graham Humphrey · 31 March 2007, 17:14

This is Tanx. They're both different games, but they are both completely great!

Every Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer mini-game.

And F1 was released for free on a magazine once. Which was a pretty good racer.
