Anyone remember the Amiga games catalogue?

I bring that up because it was so large and regulaly updated that
there were so many hidden gems that often slipped by unnoticed due to
lack of publicity or other reasons.

The PC catalogue is becoming like that now. Things like Darwina,
Portal and others. Good ideas but with little or no development time.

I'm bored with Stalker and there isn't much else going on. Anyone want
to suggest some games?

Cheers

Scottie

Every Amiga game ever released! Have fun. Try Gunship 2000.

Hi Carl,

I was more refering to PC games which have slipped by. Apologies, I
must not have explained that very well.

Yeah, I know, just that you can now look at the Amiga games you missed out
on. I spent an age browsing through that site. I wouldn't ever go back and
play any of them again. I learned that lesson with Doom. I thought I'd get
the collectors pack of the Doom games, as I remembered wasting hours at it
as a kid, and after two minutes of playing the original Doom I thought that
it was sh.t compared to the new one. But yes, there are loads of PC games
now and there are those gems that tend to get missed if they are not
released by big publishers. This is why I think that steam is a good idea
for small developers and those starting out from scratch, kind of like a
helping hand for the current day bedroom coders.

Don't get me wrong, I've revisited many Amiga and Spectrum games.
Gameplay is king and a good game is always a good game regardless of
much further graphics improve.

I revisited:

Alternate Reality
Chaos: Battle of the Wizards
Dungeon Master

And others...

I have 'another world' on my mobile, in the original form, i soon found
out how tough that game was. I recently saw it in HMV in a supposed
'High Definition' form for the PC, not too sure what that'l look like.

Anyone remember chaos for the spectrum, with 8 people able to play,
spells, dragons, zombies etc, that was great fun.

See above :p

Chaos was a prelude to Lords of Chaos, which was a better game overall (you
had more than a single screen for a start).  Laser squad was also teh win :)

I'm not totally sure, and it was a long time ago, I think Chaos was the
prequel to Lords of Chaos.

Both were great games though :)
