I love Hudson Hawk game & don't like ECP games (poor conversions from arcade machines, but not only).

Tiertex was a nightmare, and US Gold sucked too!
And the guy that converted Cool Spot from the megadrive: all 25 fps and jerky! |

*grin* interesting thread....
Codemasters, damn, I used to idolise that company when I had an Amstrad... then I tried their games on the amiga, ... when I did that, I realised that they just made crap lol..... - but there were some good games, micromachines , and possibly dizzy (better on the 8bit machines though!) I did never like the arcade / movie conversions to the amiga though, always crap (only a handful were playable!) bit suprised by the "outrun europa" post, I actually found it quite fun! (LOADS better than the first outrun game!), it had good music (at the time anyway) aswell as a fun fresh idea of running away from the police hehe- on different transportation- kinda like a pre-GTA-GTA :-) |

Personally I favour the Bitmaps approach. Dont quite understand Chaos Engine 2 though. A 100% Amiga title... if that didnt use the hardware to the best of their ability then why did they do it? I think the market was going so fast, the Saturn had replaced the Megadrive/Genesis. The PSX was stealing Amiga gamers left right and centre and they knew it was release now or never. |

I love TIERTEX for MERCS. It is better than the arcade original IMO.
I also like STRIDER on AMIGA very much. The crapiest TIERTEX game USA94. |

psygnosis produced a whole bunch of completely unplayable games that just had great graphics, also the first disk was always nothing more than an intro.

Surely Dinamic deserves a mention amongst the votes for Tiertex! Most of their games are total cack. Someone else said Dinamic are some kind of Spanish Tiertex and I couldn't agree more!

If any developer making games for the Amiga, as well as other machines (not Amiga exclusive or even Amiga primary developer, in other words), then this a really easy question for me to answer -
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Sierra Online! One of my favourite developers and yet one of my most hated developers when it comes to Amiga releases of their games. There's basically nothing good to be said about their Amiga ports whatsoever... I guess you could point out that their earliest games run well enough on the Amiga, but that's just because those games are so very simple graphically, and often not much sound either... so I wouldn't call it an accomplishment to have these running at decent speed on an Amiga The ports of their VGA games are (not telling anyone something they don't already know here ) obviously the very worst, though... so very tragic, pure rubbish, perfect example of complete and utter laziness, ripping Amiga consumers off to make a quick buck. It puzzles me a bit how such a seemingly otherwise 'cool' company would treat Amiga customers so badly. |

The only proper adventure games Seirra made on Amiga were from Codename: Iceman and Colonel Bequest area (320x200 16 colors).
Every piece of crap published by US Gold & developed by Tiertex (Human Killing Machine...), Probe (Tiger Road...), etc., Paradox Software (Luxor...), Kingsoft also published a lot of turds too & of course Team 17 which games were looking good but had below average gameplay. |

Agree on Sierra doing bad Amiga ports.
Anyone played their King's Quest V port? It's so ridiculously slow you'd think it was a joke. In some scenes it takes over a minute for the character to walk from one side of the screen to the other. |

I realise they are strictly not a devloper but what the hell. I hate Alive Mediasoft! I bought some crap off them like 'Blade'. What a waste of money that game was. They seemed like oppurtunist vultures feeding off the Amiga carcass.

Agree with the love/hate sentiments on a couple of the graphic adventure developers-namely that you'd endure the disk-swapping (esp. on a single drive Amiga),but get driven mad at the same time.
Leisure Suit Larry 2 from Sierra wasn't perfect,but I'd still lean towards the Amiga version over the PC one due to the miggy version having better sfx. Lucasarts games,even say Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade was maddening on the disk swapping front-but it comes back to their authors designing them for PC's with harddrives rather than floppy based amigas. And yep old those Galahad's post's were, tiertex definitely were consistant with their crappy st-ports. |
