no

shame, the speach on the pc version was hilerious and really helped you understand the game more, although at the time my a500 version ran alot faster than the pc version on my 2x cdrom.

Dastardly · 23 July 2002, 00:21

Yeah, I remember feeling quite cheated by BASK as Simon the Sorceror DID have speech and quite good it was too.

blackcornflake · 18 October 2002, 13:46

Beneath a Steel Sky CD32 did have speech. Pretty much everybody spoke, from important characters to incidental ones. I remember you had a little robot buddy, who was most sarcastic. All very hammy and fun.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

Here's my fave games (what I actually played the most)

Speedball 2
Bubble Bobble

Pinball Fantasies
Wing Commander (when played on A1200 was great)
Body Blows
Hybris

Super Hangon
Wings
Secret Of Money Island 1 & 2

Some great games mentioned. I think the ones that had best use on my Amiga's were(in no order):

UFO - enemy unknown
Pirates
Swos
Speedball 2 (or joystick buster as i remember it!)
Space crusade(with 2players very fun)
Heimdall(1+2)
Transplant(fun!)
Chaos engine
Realms of Arkania(i only played it on a 1200 but i think it was 500 compatable?)
Frontier
F-19 stealthfighter
Hunter(very cool, way ahead of it's time maybe?)
IK+
Geof Crammonds F1 grandprix
Eye of the Beholder 1+2
Ishar 1+2
Dune 1(slighty odd but kinda atmospheric)+2 (makes C+C look like a kids game)

I know there are many more but my memmory fails me!

I know the pc has some great games but i'd be hard pressed to put a list out like the one above. Real classics with real playability and challange. And still hot when i play them now.

Wow all those 'smoking' years in my youth must have screwed my memory more than I thought! I really dont remember the speech in BASK, just text on the screen as in Monkey Island.

Theres a lesson there for you kids.

For me it would be Gods, which I was obsessed with for so long. But other titles which sucked me in big time were Speedball 2, Chaos Engine, It Came From the Desert and Wings. Yes, very big time wasters, but it was worth it.

mtb · 19 October 2002, 13:58

My favourite games not already listened for the 500 are:

James Pond
Jim Power
Supercars 2
Project X
Apidya

Chuckles · 19 October 2002, 19:41

My favorites on the 500 would certainly have to include:

Shadow of the Beast 1
Lemmings

Both were great games, but one that nobody else has mentioned (unless I missed it) was Empire by Interstel. I don't know why, but once I started a game, I usually found myself getting obsessed with it to the point that I often found myself suddenly realizing that I'd been playing till 4 a.m. or so. Nothing spectacular at all in the graphics or sound, but I always found the gameplay to be addictive. Not long ago I started it up with WinUAE again for the first time in a long time, and found that it still can keep me up till the wee hours just as easily as it always did long ago.

CPC464 · 19 October 2002, 19:48

The most addictive game I ever played on the A500 was a UBI release called ZOMBI

I must have played this game time and time again, I believe it was based on the film "Dawn of the Dead "

20 October 2002, 16:15

Silkworm (also my first game)

Hybris
Battle squadron
Shadow of the beast
Rick Dangerous
Switch Blade
Twin world
Hard'n'Heavy
Interphase

Djay · 20 October 2002, 16:37

On the A500, the game i played most was probably Lemmings or Defender of the Crown...

On the A1200, the one would have been Frontier - Elite 2. EOTB was also a biggie...

there was soooo many games i played on the Amiga, more than i can remember now!!!

fiath · 20 October 2002, 22:24

Treasure Island Dizzy belive it or not!

Frootloop · 23 October 2002, 12:42

I used to play a lot of Populous. The best part was playing mutli-player via my 1200bps modem with a friend - who was probably 30 years older than me but really cool. The great thing about living in Canada is that all local calls in the city are free (besides the monthly fee) so I could play multi-player games forever and hang around on local BBSs without worrying about racking up a huge telephone bill. I felt sorry for Europeans! (Though they were lucky in getting the latest games first, being the epicentre of the Scene and all.)

Another game I played a lot was Grand Prix Circuit (F1GP) by Geof Crammond. I think it only got about 10FPS on an A500 but it was a heck of a lot of fun, even though I never won any races due to the difficulty. And the best control was with the keyboard.

Civilization and Frontier II was my greatest time-eaters

These are the games with sth MAGIC in it, if you know what I mean...

Miggy2TheMax · 29 October 2002, 07:05

Civilization would the biggest game for me... that was one BIG time eater! Spent weeks on end playing that during school hols .. great stuff!!!

but who could forget about, Pirates, Super Cars, Street rod 1+2, Lotus... too much fun

Guede · 29 October 2002, 14:47

Best game for me on the old A500 would have to be a toss up between Pirates, Moonstone and the Eye of the Beholder series.

There was that many good games that its hard to pick but they would have to be two that I remember spending many an hour (mostly drunken) playing.
