There was a wicked little, 4 player top down racing game I loved, but can’t remember what it was called.
Used to have some amazing freeware ferom magazines and the like too. Tank attack four player madness. A wicked vertical shooter (keep on thinking Cyniog, but don’t think that’s right.
And what about the fab Monkey Island series? They consumed a good part of my childhood, along with Elite, shadow of the beast 2 (wicked intro on that), and lemmings. I miss the days where gameplay was so much more important than how it looked. I’ve never found myself as enthralled in games as I did back then.
Good multiplayer ones for me were super bomberman (can’t remember the original name… Dynablaster I think!), micro machines, and a cool vector based flightsim/dogfight game which was the cats tw8t. Can’t remember it’s name though.
oh my god, the Amiga got me into this whole tracking thingy! was a crack addict kid C64 user 'till I upgraded to the Amiga 500. Games, games & more games…multiplaying masterblaster with friends, north & south, moonstone etc etc. Still have it in my studio for nostalgia reasons…
Actually a 2 disc breakbeat demo called ‘LSD’ got me into tracking, … a friend shared some mod-rips from this demo + protracker and I was hooked.
Wait, I remember this one… with a split screen and you could select different planes, like F16 etc. And there was also a paper air plane But I can’t remember the name either… something beginning with an S perhaps? Hmm…
AMIGA… Persian Gulf Inferno (yabaaadiiii) and of course Octamed, Protracker and even startrekker ruled my world. I remember loong “grand monster slam” sessions and Dungeon Master which was the ONLY game I remember that had a fantastic ending sequence.
I never digged Lemmings. It was just too funny to kill them (because of the voice-samples which PC never had )
My all-time was turrican. Not that I played it, I just listened to the music by master Huelsbeck.
Of course… probably remember all the shortcuts too At the time, beeing in a demo group with no gfx artist, I spent a lot of time with DPaint. It had a nice feeling to it and some great features that I still miss today…
And grand monster slam… Weird idea for a game. But I played that a lot. Also a game that I had totally forgotten until now.
yes and i remember the falling clock… anyway that dinosaur movie looked like the same “quality” as delphine software games “flashback and another world” (if you know these games you should remember the great animated intros
Sure, I remember those. Not favorites games but you’re right, they had very cool animated intros! But I thought Digital Illusions were behind those games…
