Amiga games you loved, but looking back... weren't very good. - Page 3

s2325 · 15 July 2009, 07:50

For me it's good, old game but background of levels is boring (only one color).

Antiriad · 15 July 2009, 20:03

Kid Gloves, what a big pile of doo daa that was.

laffer · 16 July 2009, 00:11

Do they have to be bad in comparison to some other version, or just bad in and of itself?

If so, then - Ducktales. It was among the very first Amiga games I played... I was very young and the graphics (especially the loading images) impressed me a lot. And the few lines of speech, too

But trying to play it now... it's really not very good. Slow and very jerky scrolling, not very varied... it's not a very good game.

But...Mousetrap's FAB. Proper no-messing old-school platforming colourful, charming graphics. Technically nothing special, but it plays and plays well imo.

Turbo Outrun - had amazing fun with this back in the day, when I play it now I get bored after two sections.

Crack down - same difference

Ducktales - could play this game every day, now... why is this game so slow!?

Double Dragon 3 - what a load of crap! But I used to play it for ages with friends!

The Power - I finished soooo many levels... but how did I endure listening to that same friggin' tune again and again and again and...? Still quite a fun puzzler though, if you turn the sound off.

Under Pressure - what was I thinking?

s2325 · 17 July 2009, 10:13

Under Pressure have too big and too slow robot but after some time game is really playable. Yes, Double Dragon 3 is good only with more than one player...

Yeah, I remember

Another one for me would be Ooops Up. Played that for ages (1 and 2 player), but now I can't stand more than 5 minutes. Still not a bad game, but not that brilliant either.

Big-Byte · 17 July 2009, 12:58

Mouse Trap was superb game. And really addictive.. The soundtrack um well even after 22 years I can still 'play' it in my head..

Its also first game I ever wrote a trainer for.

Gunship 2000. I completed this many times over with hardest difficulty and realistic flight settings. It were a great game, altho it's now showing it's age with the ropey landscaoe graphics.

Leffmann · 18 July 2009, 23:43

Here's a shocker: ROLLING THUNDER!

You'd think THAT game if any could never have been someone's favorite, but it was. Back when I was a kid I thought it was really cool, and to me it wasn't the least slow or stuttery. Today I realize it's probably the worst programming job ever. It's amazing that Tiertex who did the port are still in business.

s2325 · 18 July 2009, 23:46

Well, it's Amstrad-like game but who said that Amstrad games are not playable.

haynor666 · 19 July 2009, 12:10

Settlers, it's great game but resolution on amiga it's a little too low today :/
R-Type - after I played so long on PSX conversions I never returned to amiga version
SF2 - amiga version even on 1200 was to slow, i prefer arcade version, longtime ago I have simply no choice but to play ami version

Macca · 19 July 2009, 20:16

Captain Planet - it was my first ever Amiga game I played when I first had my mum bought me my first A600. It was, and still is, a rubbish game but I still keep going back to it every now and again just to relive the moment and try and complete it so I never have to play it again!

Captive 2 is another one - I loved the 3D on the Amiga first time around and generally I thought the game was good but it's not as good as I thought.

LOL I never figured out how to complete the water level!

The only levels I got to play on it were fire, water and heart!

hitchhikr · 21 July 2009, 03:11

Never really loved them but Ik+ and Xenon 2 really suck donkey balls.

Edit: Forgot Project X and most Team 17 games.

I remember entering the water level by the boat thing - I'll have a look when I next play it.. I don't want to play it but I'll end up getting to the stage where I think it can't be that bad... and the vicious circle will start again!

Whaa?

I've never played IK+ until a couple months ago... but I love it. Like "Karate Champ" on steroids (and yes I did look up the lineage and understand where IK came from but... the Yanks like me will understand the analogy)

Plus, what other game can you press a button and have everyone's pants fall down?
