Best games by initial letter - Page 2

1942.sid?

It's in the zone for you! And in case you just wanted the original song's title, it's:

633rd Squadron by Ron Goodwin

It's the music from a movie of the same name.

Drake1009 · 09 August 2002, 11:01

Thanks a lot akira. Now if I were better at finding music on the net I'd go out and search now.

As it stands now I couldn't even hope to use google as my ISP has messed up something. Google don't load. Somethingawful don't load. EAB is one of the few places I can load.

Do you know there's an active fan scene of Kick Off players with more than 1000 members? We have Italians, too. One of them came 3rd in the world cup last November. I can give you some e-mails if you want to get in touch with them.

Oo. Just noticed this thread. Here are some games I like. I have tried to list different ones from those already posted, but have failed spectacularly in some cases. I have also cheated a teeny bit, as too many cool games start with the letter ‘S’, so I have ignored fair play and squeezed them in anyhow.

# - ?
APB
Bubble Bobble
Crazy Eights
Dynablaster
El Golf Sensato

Flying Shark
Guardian
Hard Drivin’
Imperator
Jungle Strike
Knockout 2
Lords of Chaos
Microprose Soccer
Naughty Ones
Overlander
Pang
Quak
Roadkill
Sensible Soccer (Any edition – they are all beautiful)
Toki
Utopia
Virocop
World Games
Xybots
Y - ?
Zuper Zkidmarks

It could have been worse. I could have included 'Thuper Tennis Champs'.

@alkis21: Hey, World Champ!

Nice to hear about Kick Off's thriving following. The intense competition must keep the game fresh and exciting. Now I'm going to upset you - I've never, ever played it myself. Sensi got me first, and I have been in love ever since.

alkis21 · 26 August 2002, 08:42

A Sensible Soccer player cheated.. that figures.

Seriously now, I like SS too. Thanks for your kind words.

alkis21 · 28 August 2002, 08:49

You said 1942 was never released for the Amiga. Well, I found it here:
http://amiga.l33tz.com/menua1.html
I'm not home at the moment but I'll give it a try when I get there.

Amiga1992 · 28 August 2002, 09:36

It's a lame SEUCK clone... They lie in that page.

alkis21 · 28 August 2002, 09:43

Oh.

Amiga1992 · 28 August 2002, 10:03

Yep, it sucks.

I would have liked to see an Amiga version of 1942 too

Twistin'Ghost · 28 August 2002, 11:49

@alkis21
Believe me, dude. We research the hell out of this stuff. We all want to have faith in some of these elusive games existing, but rest assured we leave few stones unturned before we close the book on a game. Sites like that one are common in that they scarcely even know what they are offering for download. The internet is a breeding ground for misinformation and it takes a strong heart and a bullhead to pillage through the data. I reckon we're masochists!

alkis21 · 28 August 2002, 11:57

Yeah I know, I didn't have much hope that you'd be mistaken but you never know.

Amiga1992 · 28 August 2002, 12:06

Hey Twistin, only now I noticed you've added Trolls in your list.
I always loved this game (Despite the puke indulcing cuteness

), and I always thought it was a very underrated title.
