    anone remeber hunter? from the amiga, seem to remember it was a pretty big 3d world with boats cars and helicopters?

    stunt car racer is awesome, always loved alien breen tower assult, but always got stuck on a bit were an alarm is going off and you have so many mins to get through an area before you get killed, i dont think i ever got past that bit.

    Moon stone was another awesome game on the amiga i have it upstairs less one disk which is really frustrating lol!

    I remember Hunter, never was quite as good on the Atari ST. But what a game [:D] Midwinter looked great but I don't think I played it much.

    Nevermind, more games :p

    Sussed out Hostages as it is in the video i put up, been playing Gods on my DS snes emulator.

    If you liked Dungeon Master then have a go of Orcs & Elves on the DS.

    It came from the desert & antheads (the follow up) were great games & very atmospheric.

    Bitmap brothers did some great games.

    I also remember one where you were traveling around underground in some kind of Jules Verne style machine & you had to fire off different colour shots to beat these monsters & you were after some dragons.

    Oids on the ST was a cracking game & came with it's own level editer.

    Don't forget the Alien Breed 3d and Gloom was out on the Amiga at about the same time as Wolfenstein. Before Doom.;)

    (I think)

    Yep, but it was no where near as good as the first installment and the '92 Special Edition.

    But what they did in DOOM was superb, they added an environment feeling and immersion ! It was actually scary dare I say it.

    Someone has GOT to help me find a link for Interstate 76.


    I've always wanted to play it. Borrowed it from a friend when it first came out, and my computer didn't have the power to run it well enough with such good graphics.[:^(]
