Amiga 500!! Remember them days?

first samurai I think it was

Chaos Engine and the Cannon Fodder games were great

 

Used to have an a500. upgraded to 1meg memory so that i could play Mig29 super fulcrum.

More recently had winuae and speedball2 running in the office. Just like old times with folk crowded round the keyboard to play. I could never win the management side of it. With Winuae you can hack the save file and give all your players max attributes and this is still no guarantee of a win.

Zsnes is a really good snes emulator. U can play mariokart over a network. Super Ghouls and Ghosts is fantastic too.

 

yeah been playing Zsnes with Chrono Trigger

 

ZSnes

playing Mariokart with a mate 200 miles away

The N64 emulator (Nineteen64) also allows net play (not tried it yet though)

 

anyone had any luck transferring downloaded roms to amiga disc yet?

I'd love to play alien breed or project x etc..

 

yep!, the 'photoshop' of the late 80's!

 

to copy amiga disk images to floppy disk you would need an amiga spare floppy drive, normal floppy drives cannot read datat from an amiga formatted disk and vice versa, so you need to attach an amiga floppy driver to your serial port to write your info to disk once you have that working you should be able to download all the emulator files and copy them back to floppy hopefully

anyone remember moonstone with the rat men and the dragon its one of my favorate games ever very gory for its time lol

 

Have you tried this yourself steve & if so how did you get off?

 

Ahh Moonstone, played that for weeks chopping the ratmen in half!

I used to split the disk images in two, transfer them over via an msdos disk that the amiga can read (amidos?) and join them back together/ write the disk on the Amiga. I think you can do it on the 1 meg machines quite easily.

 

We never had an Amiga, I had to make do with an Acorn Electron (which I still have upstiars)

Eddie Kidd's Jump Challenge was the greatest game in the world, if the tape didn't bugger up while loading.

 

keith mine doesn't have the 1meg upgrade.

Edit: i just finished downloading 7197 Amiga Disk Images

 

Where did you get the images from?

 

Here:

http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/310016/

but there are loads more other torrents out there.

 

Been playing Paradroid 90 & forgot how hard the damn thing was.

others i had a quick go of:

James pond 2 & 3
B.A.T II
Galaga
Emmanuelle
Dr.Who
Dizzy (various)
Cruise for a corpse
Armalyte
Cannon Fodder 2 - alien edition
Chuckie egg 2

 

I never owned an Amiga, but I used to round my mates house all the time. Loved Monkey Island, Shadow of the Beast 2, Another World, Flashback, IK+ and Speedball 2. I love the sound bites from Speedball 2, the cries of "Ice Cream" is a classic.

"Get Ready..."

 

Dreamcast was an amazing machine. It's a real shame it flopped. Soul Caliber 2, the graphics were absolutely incredible. Shenmue is another quality game, Virtua Tennis 2, Phantasy Star Online, Power Stone and House of the Dead 2 was great fun with the gun. Think it was the last console I bought on day of release.

 

I've got a Vic 20 and an Amiga 500.

I used to love speedball 2, such a playable game, it would be great to have an updated version on the PS2.

Used to like Test drive and Test drive 2, Lombard RAC Rally, Barbarian, Wizball - simple but highly addictive game & IK+ which had cheats where you could speed up or slow down game play and pull the karate fighters trousers down.

I've got X-Copy pro.

Ooh another great game which was free as a public domain program was called Bip. It was 2 player with 2 biplanes having a dog fight, viewed from the side only.

I'm going to have to dig it out soon and play some of these old games.

 

BIP, great game ... up there with TANX on the 'damn this is addictive' scale !
