Request for any gems
 

Hello there my fellow Amigos,

Finally after months and months of hard work (spanning years as real life got in the away) I've virtually completed setting up / configuring WinUAE to include:

... All the games that I had as a young man on my expanded Amiga 500.
... All the games that I had heard of / read about at the time but wasn't able to acquire.
... From flicking through HOL / Lemon screenshots, games that I liked the look of.
... From being on EAB, people's comments / information etc.

Now the question for all my knowledgeable friends on EAB is as follows...

I think I've added all the games / gems that represent the Amiga. Is there anything not on the attached list that should be? If so let me know here and I'll check 'em out / possibly add :great

Note: Don't worry about listing anything that requires HD install (as I only use .ADFs / IPFs). Also don't worry about CD32 / CDTV games as I have virtually all games already.

Note 2: I still need to add some more unreleased games; just need to work exactly what, the status i.e. full game / playable demo, and also where the get the most up-to-date file from. Will probably create another thread for this.

Muchas gracias ;)

You don't have Wicked on your list...

It's been a favourite of mine since I borrowed it from my local library many moons ago.
It may seem a bit confusing at first but it's fairly simple to play, I enjoy it and it's got a great atmosphere with some wonderfully eeries tunes from Richard Joseph.

A much overlooked game in my opinion.

The list is invalid until Burton Bird is missing.

I'd recommend Vektor Storm, a Tempest-style game we played in the Super League recently. It's a little gem of a shooter, and a lot more action-packed and challenging than it might initially look.

Another favourite of mine is Projectyle. If you take Speedball, add a third player and an obvious air hockey influence you might get some idea of what to expect. It's fun in short bursts against the computer (although it might wear a little thin) but it's a riot with two or preferably three people involved.

Oh, and c'mon - there is not even Alien Fish Finger, especially its updated revision. Thats scandal!

Thank you kindly my friends; keep them coming :bowdown

This exactly why I thought I'd pose the question; an no better audience to answer that EAB ;)

I'm flying away to Madeira very early Monday morning for a week so no computer but will start looking at all your suggestions when I'm back.

Damage, or: The brutal slaughtering of humanity.

Thank you my friends; I have been a busy boy (if you can call me that at age 39)...

Have concentratied mainly on conversions / unreleased games in my latest update but have added everything listed here in this thread (besides "Damage - The Brutal Slaughtering of Humanity" as I can't get that working) ;)

So, additional to the list in this thread originally; the following has now been added to my WinUAE v3.2.2 package:

Really appreciate all your suggestions guys / girls. Keep 'em coming :great

Snakes :great

Download The debugged version. ;)

Coolio :great

Thanks Prowler; will definitely check out tomorrow when I'm not so tipsy :crazy

Tonight I at least downloaded the archive you linked to; very silly question (and I already know the answer really given what you've specified above)... Use the file "debugged.adf" hey?

Also, don't see this listed on HOL! Why not?

You've got it! :great

Also, be sure to check out Graham Humphrey's Downfall game. He was obviously too modest to recommend it here, but it's really addictive! :agree

ROFL :laughing

Yeah; typical GH... He's such a gentleman and wouldn't promote his own work no matter how good it is!!!

Silly really (are you listening GH)???

...another one to check out ;)

Between you and me Prowler I'm a bit disappointed with Belgo...

I mean he is the "GameBase Amiga" guru and all he has offered is 1 lousy suggestion... Bit poor really considering the extend of his knowledge ;)

...to me it seems that he couldn't even be bothered to analyse my list. Too much work or something :laughing

Solid Gold is still missing.

The config I used to get Damage working and which still works is kick 2.05 1mb chip 1mb fast, full ecs but a 68020 cpu. No idea why I used that config but hey it works!
Oh and even though it says put disk 2 in any drive I've got it set to just use df0:

Damage was one of the earliest games I added so don't ask me the reasoning behind any of the config.

As for other game suggestions...I'd have to actually have time to play games to be able to suggest any more...
