I passed a shop where shadow of the beast was playing in demo mode, I simply didn t realise what was happening

colors depth and smooth...
And first time I heard an amiga was with ghostbusters 2 intro... that was simply too much

I really don't envy you.

I remember at the time, my idea of a dream machine were the RM Numbus PC186s that we had at school (These were non IBM compatible PCs which all the schools in my area had, which even by 1993 were antiques, not that I knew that at the time)

My first exposure of the Amiga was When we went around a work mate of my dad's house to see his Amiga 600. We looked at some coverdisk demos but nothing I can really remember but I knew the Amiga 600 was the machine for me.

My pairents went to get an Amiga 600 "The Wild! The Weird! The Wicked!" Pack, but the shop was sold out, so they got the Amiga 1200 "Desktop Dynamite" Pack instead. My birthday came and I got my A1200 and was immediately blown away, much better than the A600. For me the game that impressed me was the intro sequence to Oscar AGA and that scrolling landscape background, wonderful!

Still My dad's always been more of a gamer than me and the programs I loved the most at first were DPaint IV AGA and Wordworth 2 AGA.

Man, I thought i already posted to this one....

oh well, once more aint gonna hurt

my first amiga game i played was Sword of Sodan (awsome game...)

2nd game was Gauntet (4player mayhem with my uncle, bro and a friend of ours steve was his name,.....)

the next game i remeber playing on the Amiga was Wizball (even though i had spanked the game on the c64) it felt a different game...

Capitaine · 18 August 2007, 18:23

1st one was Hybris.
I felt immediatly bad regarding my current machine (Amstrad CPC)

Impressed by smooth anims and music !

amigarobbo · 18 August 2007, 19:34

First thing I saw was the tunnel sequence from Super Stardust, after my CBM64, well I was impressed!

Graham Humphrey · 18 August 2007, 19:36

I could swear I've posted in this thread already, but anyway...

One of the games from the A500+ Cartoon Classics pack, which one exactly I can't remember but it was definitely one of them.

18 August 2007, 20:11

First game was Shufflepucks Cafe - the title music is awesome. I remember playing that for hours and hours.

laffer · 18 August 2007, 20:51

First game I ever saw (and played) was a crappy bouncing game thingie that came with my Amiga 500. It was pretty bad I seem to recall (it's not Jumping Jackson I'm talking about, JJ is great).

The first "real" game I played though was.. hmm.. it's so long ago now, hard to remember.. but I think it was either Test Drive 2 or Dogs of War (which I finished without losing any lives

).

The next game after that was Rick Dangerous which I thought was awesome... and then I got Duck Tales. Duck Tales was the game that impressed me the most - I thought the graphics were absolutely stunning! These days I think it's rather poorly programmed for the Amiga, the scrolling and stuff is rubbish.. but back then, the graphics (especially in the still pictures) and the few lines of speech was incredibly impressive for me

alban lusitanae · 19 August 2007, 00:53

My first game was FA18 Interceptor

Still am one of the few who finished the game.

Know how to finish it that is

19 August 2007, 19:30

My first game was Ports of Call.

Salutations.

Paul_s · 19 August 2007, 22:29

Back to the Future Part II, Days of Thunder and Nightbreed Interactive Movie - twas one of those

Part of the Screen Gems pack... wow, I remember getting the Days of Thunder disk stuck in the drive as the label had peeled up slightly

Ah miss those days

Sensi · 20 August 2007, 11:18

I was coming from Speccy and when I saw (and heard) SOTB3, I couldnt believe it.I was really lucky guy because other games I played in first days I owned Amiga were Monkey Island, Street Fighter2 and Sensible Soccer. When I played MI and Guybrush got in Scumm bar, I listened the music for minutes because I had never heard anything like that before. And when Guybrush left Scumm bar and "Meanwhile" subtitle appears following the music, I had orgasm

Beast III - some music themes are f*****g great. Rest of them is just great.

The first 16bit game was Prince of Persia, I played it on PC (with no sound), and it made me wanting real computer, no Speccy anymore

Really? I'm not sure LucasArts had that in mind for an 'exhilarative adventure' !

laffer · 20 August 2007, 20:10

I literally had an orgasm while playing a Larry game! Hey, I was young and no internet connection! Embarrasing as hell though haha

danwood · 01 September 2007, 13:26

I remember walking past a store and seeing a animated section out of war in middle earth.

Zyprexa · 06 September 2007, 03:05

I'm not sure, but i think it was Hostages or Rainbow Island.

oneshotdead · 06 September 2007, 07:44

Defender of the Crown, amongst others. But that was the first game I saw.

Methanoid · 06 September 2007, 08:41

Like many others I thought I'd posted here.. and like the OP mine was Blood Money and that intro. Also Beast. And like OP Defender of the Crown on ST.

mombasajoe · 06 September 2007, 13:41

It was Popolous (I owned a C64 those days). Totally new genre, great GFX. This game was one of the main reasons I bought an A500.
