Found -> Antago (Was: Humm - anyone remembers this game?)

[LaFey]

Greetings,

I was introduced to this board by the folk in Lemon64 board - I was asking there about this Amiga game I played as a child - which I can't remember the name.

Here is what I remember:

1. Possible name of game - I have no idea.
2. Game genre (General) - Board game.
3. Game genre (Specific) - Turn based between both players.
4. Viewpoint - Isometric playing board.
5. General dates - I played it in '90 - '91. 92 tops.
6. Commercial status - Since it was a "small" game it might have been PD (I can't imagine anyone playing full price for it anyway).
7. Other specific info - The game is a kind of noughts & crosses where the players are an angel and a devil - the angel stones are clouds while the devil ones are balls of spikes (like sea surface mines with pointed detonators). The game is quite fun because the characters do all kinds of antics when they win or when the other player is ahead. I can't recall if there are different boards - there might have been. The players are both free to walk (fly is the correct term) around the board to play their next "stone" and when one of a kind, say a cloud, meets a row of spike balls it pushes the spike ball over the edge of the board. The other way around is also true obviously.


This is what I remember anyway. Any thoughts?

The store in which I played this game had a music disk playing that had "I've got the power" music in MOD format (at the time I was quite astounded since I had no idea how the whole theme fitted into a floppy... duh... the joys of tracking weren't obvious...) - while the music played there was a scrolling text - just like a game cracktro or a demo scroll. Does this ring any bell?

Thanks!

I have to say Lafey that was an expertly described piece of writing.

There was absolutely no way it was gonna be confused with any other!

[CodyJarrett]

Yes, it's nice to see someone following the Game Identification - Providing All The Right Info guidelines for a change!

That's a BIG advantage if you do it that way.
But Fackamato too did an excellent description of the game, so that Cody could find it easily!

We did have quite weird descriptions here in the past, didn't we?
