Amiga Gaming

[kromosto]

It is close to pc gaming so here it is? Who played with amiga. Old ones amiga 1000, 500 and with new ones with AGA chipset amiga 1200 4000 or etc.?

my 4000 is looking me on the top of my library shelf and my cousins still have my 500

I had a Amiga 1000 for a long time, with extended memory card which I can't remember how much memory it had on it LOL

I purchased Amiga Forever and play a few games every now and then still.

I have DVD's full of Amiga ISO's so at times Amiga Forever gets a work out

I actually thought about picked a newer machine up on eBay like a 4000 but just haven't gotten around to it and Forever gives me my Amiga fix

My neighbour had an Amiga, I remember playing games with him, it had awesome graphics.
I had an MSX myself. That old computer still works. I remember learning programming with BASIC and a book. I wrote a small text adventure ha ha

I had both the Amiga 500 & 1000 but the Atari saw more playtime than the Amiga. I still have the 1000 in the loft alongside an old Atari ST1024 & Commodore 64 & a boatload of games.

During the 1980's I played Atari with a boy who lived with us. I remember we played a flight game where all you had to do was to fly from side to side and shoot as many enemies as possible ..and of course avoid getting killed. The boy was like 2-3 years older than me and was good at it and I wanted to beat him so bad ...I never did! I still suck at all flight games and basically everything that has to do with vehicles in games ..doesn't stop me from playing them though :P

I don`t have a real Amiga anymore but I still have loads of floppies in the other room! Lots of games I still like to play on UAE like stunt car racer and lemmings and turrican and...

I have Powerbook with MorphOS as well which is a nice toy.

I still have my Commodore 64! Telengard on casette! Best game ever!

Ah, the good times.
When everything smelled and felt better, fulfilling feeling of a CLICK when you instert floppy, those BIG leds on amigas playing with friends, or just LOOKING for HOURS when SOMEONE ELSE played.The demoscene, paper magazines once a month with your dosage of new fresh info from around teh world.Amiga had it all, fanboyism was born in the Atari vs Commodore times ,just like ati vs nv or amd vs intel now, friend of mine had a PC, so he was considered elitarian , in those times you had to pay 5x the money for a pc that could do similar things graphics and sound wise that of amiga, albeit with vga monitor and a HDD in 20 or 40mb range.Amiga os was one of the first window based multitasking operating systems out there.
,As for games, alien breed, hired guns, settlers, agony best pinball games EVAR from digital illusions .F*ck it was nice.My amiga journey ended with a pretty powerful A1200 with a turbocard blizzard IV 1230/50mhz with a dedicated FPU and 8 megs of ram HDD and CD! A monster :P

HAHAH So true !!!

Vario: My brother has a Amiga A1200 with Blizzard 50MHz CPU extra RAM and HDD, but SCSI CD-ROM was a trouble.
Sounds VERY similar to what You described.

At that time or 1995 I started with a PC, AMD 386 40MHz, Cyrix 387FPU and a 16MB RAM (just RAM cost 5600 Swedish krona).

There was like 3 ways to connect cd drive(and dvd), SCSI adapter, dedicated made by commodore addon, and a normal IDE/cd/DVD drive via buffered IDE interface, easiest and cheapest way!There were even people who fitted normal a1200 chassis with internal 2,5' HDD and a slim DVD drive

I got great memories with Amiga 500 and Atari 520 ST.
That was too expensive for my parents but one of my best friends got those 2 legendary machines and I spent a lot of times playin' with him.
When I'm looking back, I can see how that was an important step forward for video games.
I remember great titles like Dungeon Master, Bitmap Brothers games (Speedball, Xenon 2, Gods...), LucasArts magical titles (Day of the tentacle, Monkey islands, Loom, Grim Fandango... ) or l'Arche du Capitaine Blood for example.
It was definitely a great period for video games, with a lot of imagination, tricks and the advanced player I am now knows well all due respect to Amiga/Atari period.

Shadow of the Beast and Turrican!

Xenon 2 and Pinball Fantasies!!!
