Looks like they sat some special needs kids down and let them re-make Lethal Enforcers.

Well, you know, don't judge a book by its cover and all that.

What's funny here is that by 1998, the once greatest gaming platform computer of them all was reduced to waiting for shit like this to be released.

It wasn't a commercial game so that's a little unfair! The game was featured in an Amiga Format section for homebrew games.

I completely agree. Its a judgement that makes no sense, and i am surprised at the comments by Fred and Blade here. Even so, by this stage home-made games were making up the majority of amiga 'releases' , you take the (very variable) quality with a pinch-of-salt, given that they were usually made by one guy across a few spare weekends, and not some money-grabbing software house who would spend months on development, testing, advertising, previews, and then simply not release the game. there are many great PD games out there at this time, regardless of the quality shown here, and many of them are far more admirable than their commercial counterparts anyway. |

I agree. It's hardly representative of the PD scene as a whole. There were some really good titles released in the mid-late '90s, better than most of the commercial games that were released.

I think we should play failed negotiations at EAB meet. Then I get to splatter Dizzy with old tomato on his head

I never wanted the software support for the Amiga to EVER die, and i think we can all agree with that. |

@ Blade
my surprise was more with this: Quote:
All PD is given to us mostly free of charge, and simply out of love by the author. I find it difficult to be dispointed in these situations, even when the product is rubbish, simply because the alternative is the developer giving us nothing. |

Surely you remember the Amiga's heyday when it 1991 Amiga gaming quality had reached it peaked and then gradually it declined to point when in about 1998 it pretty had ended. That was my point, nothing more, nothing less.... And yes, i know there are many quality PD games out there, but even those quality PD games were really lacking by the late 90's.

I just saw that this game has been added to HOL.
I want to check it out. Anyone has the game? Authors site seems to be down, and can't find it anywhere else. |
