[Found: Hilt II] RPG like game set on a space station
Hi all,
Just recently back to the amiga scene, am trying to find some classic games that I used to play. This one was an rpg type game set (I think) on a space station. You could buy weaponary and bombs etc that would be able to destroy the environment. Credits were the currency. I cant remember if you played as robots or not. The game was possible not a commercial venture I believe I received it on a CDPD disc for my A570 I know this is quite vague! Hope someone can help! Last edited by Wasagi; 30 August 2023 at 20:44. Reason: Game found after 13 years! |

Off the top of my head, the first two space RPGs that come to mind are;
"MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy" (http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=h...php%3Fid%3D737) and "Hard Nova"... (http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=h...php%3Fid%3D737) |

What was the interface like? Did you look through the eyes, from above or something exotic?

It was top down. There were gardens and shops etc on this space station. I think there were also laser walls in certain areas protecting weapons caches?
It looks very similar to megatraveller |

Hey, wait. Robots, gradens and laserwalls, shops and caches? This strongly reminds me of Battlech. It fits the description nicely.

Right, having checked out these games I can confirm that it's not any of them. This game was probably distributed on the CDPD disc or Almathera 17bit CD forCDTV

So.. this was a long search. However the game was Hilt II (https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/hilt-ii) and solved with a little help from r/tipofmyjoystick.

Yes, after 13 years having it niggling in the back of my mind any time I think of the Amiga. It is a huge relief to have this weight off my shoulders.
I need to devote a little time to play through now! |

Yo, I never heard of Hilt II but when I first read the first post I thoght of the PD game "Mechfight" where you control a red robot from a top-down perspective through a space station and can buy weapons and shields at shops and later have to fight other robots and aliens. It's not on the Hal of Light for some reason but there's a YT video. I never go around to finish it but I managed to make maps for most of the areas.
