Last Amiga Game You Bought? - Page 2

Fred the Fop · 24 August 2002, 00:44

I can't believe you said that, Jim! I not only disagree, but since I never owned an Amiga but an Atari STE, that was the last gaame I ever purchased for the Atari St!

24 August 2002, 00:49

I still think CF1 is better. I didn't like CF2 at all. It was the same game but in a compltely stupid environment. I'm sorry - but these soldiers belonged on the battlefield and not fighting aliens in a strange spaceship.

I would rather they had just made a level add-on for CF1 set in the jungle again.

Fred, remind me why what is better about CF2 - what makes you think CF2 is better ?

Jim, if you read my post, it implies I disagree with your assessment that CF 2 is crap to CF 1. Nowhere do I mention CF 2 is better or even equal to CF 1. CF 1 was better in my opinion, I just do not think CF 2 is "crap" compared to Cf 1.

Shatterhand · 24 August 2002, 06:08

I agree with Fred, CF2 isn't crap. For me it was as good as CF1, mainly because it costed THE SAME as CF1 for me (i.e. , nearly nothing

).

If I had payed 35 quids for it, I probably wouldn't like it, because it isn't much more than an add-on.

CF2 also is much harder than the already very hard CF1 .

Fred the Fop · 24 August 2002, 07:25

Oh true, Shatty. I remember getting much farther in CF 1 than CF 2. As far as I am concerned, CF 1 & 2 are light years ahead of the games that they have out today, like Close Combat. I do like Sudden Strike very much, tho. Those are awesome games. Can't wait for Sudden Strike 2.

Shatterhand · 24 August 2002, 07:51

I know Close Combat, but never heard about Sudden Strike..

It's also lights years ahead of Theatre of Death.. at least that's an Amiga game

T_hairy_bootson · 24 August 2002, 15:55

The Killing Cloud

and it was worth it...

...for the manual

24 August 2002, 17:46

Shadow Fighter. I think I only ever played it twice - IIRC it kept crashing my 1200.

AEV · 25 August 2002, 08:19

I can't quite remember what I bought last but it was either Lemmings 2 or Wing Commander sometime in 1993 I think. It was starting to get hard to get Amiga games in Australia around this time. In Townsville anyway.

alkis21 · 26 August 2002, 08:58

I bought yet another original copy of Kick Off 2 a month ago, and one of Highway Hawks two months ago. Not full price of course, I can't remember when that was!

IanS · 27 August 2002, 13:06

... the absolutely dimal Gloom 3. God, what a mistake after the quality of the original! Oh, and Genetic Species at the same time.

IanS · 27 August 2002, 13:08

I dis of course mean DISMAL... not dimal. My brain cell has obviously gone to sleep.

P-J · 28 August 2002, 16:46

Last one I bought was 'Total Football', I think it was around the £15 mark. Still have the box, manual and original disks

fiath · 30 August 2002, 17:32

At full price: Slam Tilt.

But that was a while ago... I buy Amiga games all the time though, basically for CAPS. I am not far off 1000 originals (most with boxes and manuals) and some even factory "new".

I have only just recently finished dumping them all

Got to scan all the boxes, manuals, disks, protections cards etc. now... (sheesh!)

Which will be graciously donated to HOL, yes?

Fred the Fop · 31 August 2002, 03:32

When is HOL going up? Must be heavy duty stuff you are doing.

It's just massive. I don't have a premiere date. Maybe RCK can field this one...

RCK · 31 August 2002, 10:17

maybe a first snapshot before 2003, depends of many things

Fred the Fop · 31 August 2002, 10:24

Would love to help, let me know. Maybe everyone here can chip in a lil something?

Well, yes and no. They will be "donated to all". i.e. Anybody that wants to use them can - we are just scanning them but they are not our property (obviously) - they will probably be distributed as addon "packs" for the CAPS releases.

If by "donating to HOL" you mean me uploading them somewhere for you, then yes, we are donating them to HOL!

Please be aware though, that this stuff is going to be *BIG*. Everything will be scanned at 300dpi. Hopefully as time goes on, the space required to store them will be less of a problem...
