Press start and then power thé mvs! And you've got pick'n mix razoola menu ! The very best choice with 161in1 !! I've got myself an orthros kit and i play with 8bitdo SNK joypad wirless with BlueRetro plug !! Great stuff ...
Frank Klepacki's soundtrack absolutely slaps on EVERY single C&C game he worked on.. I would kill to spend a day in his studio and discuss music making and production. He's seriously one of my favourite composers. He had a brief - "design us a soundtrack for a real time war strategy game'... and absolutely smashes it out of the park. It's amazing how much detail your imagination adds, because I was shocked when I installed the Remastered pack and then pressed 'Spacebar' to flip it back to the original pixelated graaphics and.. wow, they're not detailed AT ALL! But, for 1994, absolutely they were incredible.. with FMV cutscenes too. It was all cutting edge at the time. But, hearring the music as it was intended - fully Remastered in an HQ sound format too... It all sounds EVEN BETTER! 😭 Thanks for making this video. I've just completed NOD campaign in the OG C&C (took one day) and I'm going to skip to RA now and play a few games of that,
Klepacki's music is always great, even when he did Amiga music it was amazing. and yeah Red Alert is such a great time capsule, just a perfect little game.
I am still looking for an Amiga Game from my youth, it was a puzzler with little wizards playing some instruments before a puzzle started, i simply cannot find it
Its not ringing any bells, but hopefully we will stumble across them at some point!
Ps5 rien
My fav setup was a repair facility completely surrounded by other buildings/walls. Carry-Alls will pick up any damaged tanks from the front AND deliver them back at the front repaired and ready. 😄
That was a great tactic used to use it all the time. it would even give you a free carryall if you didn't have one to move the unit out of the repair bay.
My dad play dune2 almost every week.
This was a classic piece of hardware. I generated so many codes, including one that made mega man levitate (I was trying for invulnerability but this was handy too). I send them in to magazines and even the makers of action replay - they sent me a free t-shirt
It was a fun bit of hardware and cool in sending in the codes!
The harkonnen dying in their own intro
Always thought that was an odd choice.
Awesome, there's an add for Cosmic Pirate, my first beloved game ❤. Thank you very much for this review. You make me discover it and now I want make my shoot em up 😊
I always thought Lost Vikings was the best puzzle game, although it was more a platform puzzle
Recently come across a game called 'Glubble' (An Amiga 500 puzzle game by OXYGENE, released in 2024 at Revision). Which turns out was a Windows game called 'Jelly no puzzle'. Which I found as just 'Jelly'. The Amiga version looks nicer --- however it has passwords --- the PC just auto-saves.
Was GULP! on any other platform ?
There's a weird edit at 27:14 - did you have to cut a bit out for a copyright claim or something? Otherwise, thanks for another interesting video.
That is what we like to call, a screw up! Some voice over ended up in the wrong place, I'd fixed one before uploading and didn't notice this one until it was already live. Thanks for watching.
God I really want one, but shipping costs to the US are pretty inaccessible to say the least. I guess my A500 will have to do indefinitely
My first computer was an amiga 600.
Prachtig hier, mee ben ik begonnen met dit spel op MS Dos ik vind dit nog steeds leuk
My favourite puzzler on Amiga was Morph, it was hard and unfair but such a brain teaser for 9 y.o. me
Morph is a lovely game, and one that weirdly got a SNES port. I covered it a little while ago.
Tomato Game and Beam Bender look intriguing! Seesaw columns! Mega Motion music choices sound cool! That ball/pipe one looks a bit fiddly for me. That marble roller is more my line! ZARDOZ!
I like “I end up having to play them.” Oh what a hardship. 😄 Great video, thanks. There are quite a few that are new to me here & that’s always a good thing but I guess that’s the point of a video like this? Bill’s Tomato Game was… a choice for a title. 😄 I hate timers, which is a shame because I don’t think I’ve played it & it otherwise looks like my kind of thing? I may download it anyway & see how it goes in the flesh. (So to speak.) Fascinating to see Amiga games as late as ‘97 but it does look & sound from what you’ve said like fun but again, timers can be a deal braker for me. I do know Statix & as simplistic as it looks it great fun! It’s not just another Tetris or Bejeweled clone, although it does have some similarities to both. Mega Motion is certainly original? The mechanics certainly do seem interesting? Seems like another to try & see how intrusive the timer is? Blobz! I’m pretty sure I learned about Blobz from you & it’s one I enjoy in spite of the &#*$ timer & level editors really enhance a puzzle game, especially when you inflict your own maps on other people. Extasy’s surprisingly not addictive… (sometimes my puns are so bad they hurt. 😄) Marbelelous 2 is not one I’ve played? Neither is Marbelelous 1 for that matter? Certainly seems interesting & it looks like it doesn’t have timers on every level & as ever level editors are a big plus. Zardoz certainly doesn’t look like it relates to the cult 70’s dystopian movie? Still it looks like a sci-fi themed Sokoban clone with a mother $@£& timer the devs can shove up their mother &£#€ %<|es with a big veiny #=@&¥! I’m not a fan of timers. Pictris seems like it has quite a generous timer but it still doesn’t grab me but I can see why others would like it.
So I'm getting the idea that you don't enjoy timers in games. its a shame that so many puzzle games use them as a way of adding challenge. for most of them it wasn't too bad, but they were a real annoyance in some.
Ah Bill's, an underrated classic, I didn't catch you saying but it's named after the author not the tomato. As you point out, the tomato is not Bill. Despite loving the game I share your concerns though, it needs neither timer nor lives.
I think I did mention that it was named after the dev, but I might have cut that part. and yeah its a lovely game that didn't need the timers.
I had the playable demo version of BILL'S TOMATO GAME from the magazine called THE ONE FOR AMIGA. Also, i admit, that i was a puzzle freak on my Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 😹😺👍🕹️. I would definitely like to replay TANGRAM from Thalion. It was one of my favorite games back in the early 1990's 😺👍🕹️. And who remembers the GOBLIIINS games from Coktel Vision 😺👍🕹️? I believe, i still have the playable demo version of the first GOBLIIINS game. I had the full game of EXTASY (loose) for my Amiga 500. The loading intro was brilliant 😺👍🕹️, but i couldn't start the game, because i had no manual to search for the code to proceed the game 😹🕹️.
I don't think you missed too much with Extasy, its interesting if annoying to play. but it must have been a pain to have a game and not had a chance to play it.
these puzzle games stress me out
Ah, that's my lunchtime viewing sorted 😁 Thanks for the video GouldFish!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@GouldFishOnGames Loved it! 😁😁
Shame that SimCity 2000 isn't compatible with the mouse, it could have REALLY done with it!
Yeah, I think if it had a wider release it would have gotten more support.
A graphics card really makes the 4000 fly. After my Cybervision 64/3D died I noticed how important it's been, I just don't use my 4000 as much anymore because of that. So a new card is something I will get for it, unless the old one can be repaired.
i beat this in an hour on the day i bought it. left like a wast of money.
Check Impact! (1987), it doesn't look like much, but it plays like a dream, and the sound effects make it very special.
The comercial version of Technosound Turbo 2 came with a cartrage that let you sample sounds into your Amiga. One thing I found this was very useful for was playing in Speccy games into an emulator and creating my own snapshot files.
Bought a Saroo and a japanese Saturn for $200.00 total for both. One from ali express the other from ebay. This is an amazing combination! I completely recommend it now. Don't wait.
Yeah, this was more or less what I ended up doing during the video. As I started with my UK Saturn and ended up buying the Japanese unit because I wanted a nice NTSC machine. They are a great combo.
Great great game I Builth an emulator just to play it still great
I would LOVE to develop for the CD32. I don't think we've ever seen what it's fully capable of.
Yeah, I think there is still a lot of untapped potential in the AGA and CD32 machines.
North and South was also by Infogrames and based on a comic strip from the Spirou magazine. I’ve always considered it part of that “collection spirou”
I'd never made the connection before, but yeah there were a bunch of interesting games that came out of magazine.
Yeh, I can’t fault you for your top 3, you covered it well… no pun intended. 😄 The One for Amiga: Blitz Bombers looks interesting & making the demo multiplayer only is a novel idea but yeh, I can’t see why it was A1200 only? Wooglies looks frustrating, what with a timer & enemy. I was going to point out grey Blanka then you did. 😄 Street Fighter was always a SNES game for me personally. CU Amiga Adorage, as you suggested, would have been something I’d have played with but not much more. I probably wouldn’t have even looked at PowerBase to be honest. Arcade Snooker is something I very much would have played back in the day! In fact I’m going to look for it now. Amiga CD32 Gamer: Yeh that certainly looks like an early version? Fun! Yehhh… videos don’t count as demos! As random as Algomusic‘s err… “music” goes it was pretty interesting. Gridrunner looks fun & I trust your judgement. That Simpsons game is… a thing?! Cracker would have worked for me too. Disney’s dream […] Pixar’s nightmare” well that aged like milk! 😄 Morton Strikes Back is may be upgraded smidge but what’s not to like? Ants is definitely something I would have played, it’s another I’m going to play. Amiga power: Ultimate Soccer Manager does nothing for me. MISSILE COMMAND! Let’s rock! I love Missile Command & I’m not a big fan of dev’s trying to do something different, so an arcade port like that would have worked for me. Spring Time is certainly it’s own thing? I hate timers but I can forgive them if they aren’t too restrictive. I agree, I don’t see why it didn’t get a full release? I’d have played it. Circus is fun for a mini game & the balloon thing sets it apart but the real game was somewhat forgiving. Amiga Action: Ultimate Soccer Manager does nothing for me. Mortal Cumquat… oh dear. Some people think they have a sense of humour that should be shared, others disagree. Did Ruffian get a release or does it just feel Toki like? Amiga Format: The name “TechnoSound Turbo II” is peek mid 90’s! 😂 Sensible Golf plays OK & playing against a mate was always fun but it didn’t last long.
Nice work. I liked the look of the one with Springtime for Gouldfish, and the pushing blocks one! I had a similar game to Ants on my old Nokia phone!
thanks mate. Antz was a lovely find, didn't know there were similar games on the mobiles.
@@GouldFishOnGames I found it in the ecology menu, along with a recycling game!
neat
Heheh, Algomusic... used to love that. it's what inspired me to make the (admittedly rubbish) Dunc's Algomusic.
I'm sure what you made is just as good as the Algomusic featured in the video!
Incredible that many of us were playing home games that look like that, whereas in the arcade there was VF2 and Sega Rally. Just different galaxies of hardware co-existing.
The gulf between the top end hardware and the home hardware was almost at its peak, at this point. but it was going to be crushed in the next 5 years.
Interesting to hear you worked in Brighton, I did for a bit also. At Kuju and later Relentless
Interestingly so did I, Zoe Mode then Relentless. Between 2008 and 2012
Haha, we must have had some crossover there! I worked on Eyetoy Play 3 at Kuju, before it became ZoeMode then Buzz games at Relentless Are you still in Brighton nowadays? I’m up in Northumberland now
@@SmoMo_ I think we might have just missed each other as it was already Zoe Mode when I joined (worked on You're in the Movies) then worked at Relentless later on when they did the Kinect Nat Geo Stuff. These days I'm in the Warwickshire area.
Never seen some of those PD games which is amazing cos i loved my amiga back in the day and thought id seen it all lol …great vid as always x
Its amazing right the amount of interesting and unique PD games that I had no idea about as well. I've been asked a few times todo a dedicated video on the best PD games, and I feel that I've not even scratched the surface of it so far. Thanks for watching.
More warnings means more fun!
and that is why the best place to play is an electrical sub station!
Wow that one magazine was the last Amiga mag ever got, couldn’t find a copy after, but now that all makes sense. the one was always my go to mag, think it was because it was the cheaper of the mags, and always gave cover disks.. still carried on plying my again until I left home around 98, 2 years later arrived home and there was a Playstion and the Amiga had found a new how in the loft, 20 years later and it’s back with me.thanks for all the memories!
I might have been similar as I remember also getting that One Magazine, even if I wasn't able to play most of the demos. It was also around the time the hinting at a new computer would be good 😉
Ah yes the controversial Amiga Power issue 51. The one where they reviewed the PC version of Flight of the Amazon Queen cause they found a game breaking bug when they tried the Amiga version and it delayed that version for a few months.
So weird to think that Amazon Queen was originally an Amiga first game, and then its the version that got delayed!
@@GouldFishOnGames yeah Amiga Power were surprised they even put a disclaimer in the magazine. The bug was at the very start of the game so no wonder it was pushed back.
There is never too much content from you Mr Fish!. I did not get any of these magazines, I had swapped over to the PC by then. Doom and its multimedia just wowed me and I managed to get a second hand machine. The writing was definitely on the wall.
Yeah it was starting to show that the end was coming for the machine, and that the original hardware was getting very old.
About 2 months after this, the amount of games coming out and getting reviewed in magazines fell off a cliff. As your video shows, in retrospect the signs were all there.
Yeah, Commodore being sold off and then escom having issues was really the end of the platform. as developers knew that it wasn't going to get better. Its funny that I think there are more new Amiga games in development now, then in the mid 90s
26:48 some of the sounds and the option menu are ripped from shadow fighter
I'm sure it borrowed quite a few sound effects and bits from other games 😁
i keep watching this video until i will eventualy find that one game that a frind of mine lent me in late 1993 which comprised of 3 games and one of them was a super hard arkanoid clone
I both hope that we find that game soon, so you get closure. and it take a while so you have to keep on watching 😉
Algo Music had some really cool features. Shame the song titles were odd 😂
Its a cool idea and I'm sure there are lots of interesting features, but I wasn't impressed with what came out of it for the CD32 Gamer CD 🤣
Arcade Snooker just feels part finished, like they got 75% of the way into development and decided this wasn't really viable as a commercial game, but it WAS in a playable enough state to stick on a coverdisk. Quite amazing that once they decided to can further development they didn't even bother to remove the game-breaking save option, I mean how long would that have taken?
I wonder if it had already been abandoned for a little while before they dusted it off and gave it to the magazine. it might explain why it had some broken features as it wasn't finished and they didn't have anyone around to clean it up. an oddity but I think its cool they did something with it.
Slam Tilt!!! cant believe you missed the best one!
That is the one that has been mentioned more then any other, and I'll admit that was my fault I thought it was a PC title that was ported back to the Amiga. but it seems it was the other way around.
I remember, when i was 12 years old in July 1995, i loaned that copy of THE ONE FOR AMIGA magazine from my city library 😺👍🕹️. Great retrospective memories 😺👍🕹️.
Thanks for watching and yeah that copy of the One was the magazine I got that month.
