IK+ on the Amiga - go on, double splits kick.

Go on Benny, press T.

edit: Hmm, I need to cut down on the double-posting, I see.

Oh yeah, in the arcades: Time Crisis, me and a m8 were so hooked up on it that I've bought a PS2 especially for it with a nice gun and bought the game as first. Also jurassic parc was an excellent one. We didn't stop untill we've finished both games and that took us lots of small change.

A quick pick of 5 that i have played for hours and hours -

1. CS
2. Battle Isle series
3. Age of Empires ( online game only - standalone was pretty ropey )
4. Sensible Soccer
5. Civilization

But there are plenty more....and what makes a good game anyway......it can have ropey graphics but if the gameplay is cracking then you can get hooked. There have been loads of games i've enjoyed over the years that if played now would not measure up because we all expect nice glitzy graphics and sound thesedays and our expectations have changed. Also there are many modern games that are absolute tripe with lovely graphics.

The oldies are always the best:

Sensi Soccer (Amiga)
Manic Miner (Speccy)
Super Bomberman (N64)
Frontier (Amiga)
Super Mario Kart (N64)

[Benny]

aw man, I'm getting all wet.

I missed Sensi, and Frontier....let's finish off with a Barbarian spinning decapitation.

A far better WW2 experience can be found in H&D2, which seems to have been largely ignored by the games buying public, for shame.

cause it was so bloody complicated.  I've played flight sims that had less controls. (falcon 4.0)

...and Falcon 4 was complicated enough. Awesome flight sime. One of the most realistic I have ever played.

fanatastic, nice find benny

[Gh0st Face Killah]

If we are adding arcade games a couple of my favs were Phoenix and Space Harrier especially if it was one of the sit in ones that moved.

Phoenix was one of my favs though I could make my 10p last for ages on that!! Never seen a remake on the pc though which is a shame.

[Phog]

1st = Planetside (MMORPG, sweet game)
1st = CS
3rd is Goldeneye on teh N64
4th is HL
5th is Splinter Cell

4. Syndicate

Forgot all about that - what an ace game  What a perverse pleasure to get your lads into a car and mow down civilians, or get the flamethrower and torch folks at a shopping mall  :ph34r:  I can still hear their tortured screams.....


Benny - there's a few amiga emulators out there which you should try out.  I currently run one and a speccy emulator.  Managed to find a copy of the original Double Dragon the other day  And you can also get the original Frontier Game on the web for free.  They released the code several years back for general release.

I'm a bit shocked to see so many FPS in peoples lists - for me the best games were always ones where you could meet your mates on a saturday afternoon and play around a console or keyboard, have a few beers, and then head out into town.  So many sensi soccer tournaments, 4-way bomberman games, and frantic split screen mario kart sessions were the most fun i ever had with computers.  When I first got a speccy me and a few mates used to take it in turns on Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner, and Daley Thompsons Decathlon.  FPS never did that for me even if they were online with people I knew (perhaps CS aside) because they lend themselves to you being solitary.

Maybe I'm just a social animal

And you're all geeks

I'm running WinUAE now, having a few issues getting the games to work, prolly my outta date workbench.

Got a ROM, but running 1.3 which is crap. Loads the desktop but not much more. Got a shed load of games.....can#t wait to get this working


Ikari Warriors, is there a better two player scroller?
