Thank god for X-Copy back in the day... i mean... the memories .... Megalomania, Hunter, Gods, It Came From The Desert II, Rocket Ranger, Wings... damn Wings needs to go in my top 10. The LucasArts games were maginificent. If my GCSEs were in Amiga games i would have got A*s. I was the go-to kid in the playground for Amiga games. Sam Fox strip poker was a good ace up one's sleeve. that used to trade highly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Did anyone ever play Cannon Fodder 3? Made by some completely random Russian dev, I never did try it, but it looked quite silly. The original was great though, as an idiot child on SNES though I was crap at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted November 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2016 @BOF There you go, but I had to mix in a few PC in there, Tie Fighter PC - The amount of time it took to perfect all the missions, and the addon-missions to save the Emperor from those rebel scum. Loved the total freedom within the game. I once left the Tie flying in one direction and went to school. It was still flying when I got home and I was quite a distance from my squadron Full throttle PC - Best soundtrack and the coolest character ever in a game, Ben! (I'm not putting my lips on that) Sam n Max hit the road PC - When a game turns into total comedy with genuine LOL moments. Max: Good lord, he's buck naked. Sam: So are you. Max: Yeah, but I'm cute and marketable. Premier Manager AMIGA - The granddaddy where you had to start in the Conference but it had real players, oh the joy Championship Manager 93 AMIGA - The grandson, so many hours/days/weeks etc. The reason I sort of support Crewe Alexandra to this day. The real start to the CM-FM we know today. Amazing data and stats. Wing Commander 3 PC - The start of the use of multiple CDs with real cutscenes. Controlling Mark Hamill as he had to choose between Ginger Lynn (yes, that one) and the much better looking "Flint". Never got to sleep with both. Oh, and you had to fly space-missions and shoot down big cats and blow up a planet. And Malcolm McDowell was your boss Wings AMIGA - WW1 fighter ace. Hunting down the Red Baron and bomb the shit out of convoys. And always getting earful from the Colonel. Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions AMIGA - Muuuuuch cheaper than the real thing, and severely addictive Formula One Grand Prix AMIGA - Best F1 game, and still is. A season took forever. North and South AMIGA - Playing on the left side in the battles was harder for some reason. Great fun playing with your mates. Honourable mention to Rebel Assault which was the game that made me ditch the Amiga and buy a PC. Those graphics 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I'd forgotten about the Pinball series by Digital Illusions. They were very well made games. Excellent graphics. Very polished indeed.

LakotaDakota Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) i loved wings too, all/most of the cinemaware games were enjoyable, even the three stooges. Rocket Ranger was always a fave & still play defender of the crown to this day (usually drag out the philips cdi a couple of times per year for a run through). As i said in my earlier post there are simply far too many from the c16/64/amiga era to narrow down to a top 10, The sheer amount of hours spent on football manager games like the original FM, the double, tracksuit manager, football director must be in the thousands. I have seen a few other faves mentioned such as north & south & lotus esprit turbo challenge too which is cool If you haven't chipped a 20p shaped football onto your own head & ran the length of the length of the pitch into the "net" on international soccer you haven't lived Anyone looking for a trip down memory lane could do worse than suggesting these books if someone is stuck for an xmas pressie for you. http://www.funstockretro.co.uk/retro-gaming-books Edited November 15, 2016 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 No particular order and as I'm no gamer, not a very big list. Champ Manager 2 (PC) - I think I lost about 18 months to this game around 96/97. Had the special Italy, Spain, German and Dutch ones as well. Good time Mario Kart (SNES) - best driving game I ever played Sensible Soccer (Megadrive) - had some epic leagues with my mates on this around 94/95 time. Brilliant Street Fighter 2 (SNES) - the ultimate fighting game Howzat (Spectrum) - stick man cricket game. Played this heavily with my Dad... around 88/89 at a guess ...and that's it! Few older games I recall from my Spectrum days like Operation Wolf, Double Dragon, etc, but nothing memorable For a bonus internet point... name the game (no cheating!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get a bonus point for posting a video of someone playing the theme tune: BTW - Kim Justice (above) is a quality gaming channel for British retro. Some of the best videos on the topic.
