Hey guys, i was rooting around in the bedroom today and i came across my old Amiga! Cant believe if its a 600 or 1200. Then i started thinking about all the old games like Desert Strike, Chaos Engine, The Secret Of Monkey Island, Senisble Soccer, Turican 2, Another World and Cannon Fodder. Ahhh so many memories.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUoJBerFDsA
Anyway i remember playing a game, it wasa terrible game but it just came into my mind. Big multicoloured blocks used to move towards the screen and you had to dodge them with the camera (which you controled) in a first person view. The more i think about it, the less i think it was even ON the amiga but its stuck in my head and i wont sleep will i find out lol

Just emulate it. I've posted a handy guide (http://lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7890) at the Lemon Amiga forum. 8)

Never played this one, but the games you listed are all fantastic :)
Also my favorite football game was : Goal! (from Dino Dini), because it was very
technical, in some ways it's still better than any other football game.

While we're on the subject of Amiga games, my favorite was always Flashback. Second only to Super Metroid as far as platform excellence goes.

You name it!
Funny, I've started up Reflection 2 two weeks ago to render some raytracing
scenes like I did about 20 years ago! Yeah I'm still full in love with the
Amiga -- one of the best, if not teH best, gaming computer ever produced.
Despite I played a lot of games, I didn't came around Hydrozone. Uhh, it's
nice! :sonar Thx for the link, Dan. :D

You're welcome.
And, yeah, the Amiga is the greatest computer ever. Maybe not for games (the X68000 deserves that place), but you have to give it credit for essentially defining the modern personal computer single-handedly, even if Commodore's brutally incompetent management ensured that it wouldn't find a lasting place in the market. :(
Jay Miner and his team were absolute geniuses.
