/vr/ - Retro Games

The best way to overcome depression is to play games on a system other than an Amiga. Playing Amiga games will only worsen your symptoms. :^)

Fate: Gates of Dawn or DreamWeb

Rodland.
Silk Worm.

Just realized I don't even know how to write downloaded amiga games to floppies. Okay then, any C64 or CPC games that work better than prozac?

>>5326253
already played dreamweb on pc, really enjoyed that back when I could feel such emotions as enjoyment.

Just emulate the Arcade version of Space Harrier.

It's called an HxC, my good sir.

actually I have an hxc but can't be bothered to install it. I did get 20 boxes filled with disks, the few I've tried so far were really boring and I don't really know what titles to look for.

>>5326434
I think you seem to be confused on the definition of "emulation" here.

Good versions of anything US Gold shat onto the Amiga

>>5326476
There are some amazing titles on that list, but you have to remember the results come from polling the fans. So games like Turrican and SuperFrog are in there, and those are fanboi-only country.

Turrican series
Jurassic Park
Cool Spot
Behind the Iron Gate
Zeewolf
Lemmings
Breathless
Sentinel

I believe you mean a Gotek with custom firmware, my good man.

>>5326095
Sell it and buy a Sega Genesis and a bunch of superior games. Or keep it and use your windows pc to endlessly post on slashdot about how the Amiga is all the computer you’ll ever need until you finally buy a MacBook in the early 2000’s. Then make a bunch of posts about Amiga on /vr/.

>>5326095
james pond series (should cheer you up)
speedball 2
the chaos engine
cannon fodder
lotus series
alien breed
actual fucking monkey island

MOONSTONE. Best game on the machine and one of the best games of all time.

>>5326095
Behind the Iron Gate will either help your depression, or replace it with an existential soulsearch-y strange feeling.

Amiga has nothing but shovelware anyway, so...

BULLSHIT!

Looks like an average Doom knockoff to me.

>>5332871
How convenient of you to ignore all the other games I posted.

Outrun is an arcade game, it can be just played on MAME or something.

>>5332883
The Master System has the only home conversion that does the arcade any justice, all others are just okay.

>>5332891
Too bad considering the Amiga is a much more powerful system.

>>5332894
>>5332891
We've been over this and over this. Home computer arcade conversions were usually always rush jobs done by programmers who didn't have access to the original source code or game assets. The Master System port was likely the only one coded in a semi-professional manner.

Amiga has a decent enough Out Run although the C64 one still manages the best framerate out of every home version.

>>5332898
That says more about the people making the port rather than the Amiga's capabilities.

>>5326331
>C64 or CPC games
yes, FEUD, play it!

>>5332853

FTFYK.

Troll harder, if you must.

>CPC games that work better than prozac?

cpc games are slow as fuck, but Bomb Jack is pretty fun on all 8bit computer formats

that said, arcade is still the way to go

>>5332891
>The Master System has the only home conversion that does the arcade any justice

what the fuck are you smoking?

both the PC Engine and Genesis versions are far better and didn't come out all that much later

if you really want to get autistic, there's the saturn port with 60 fps

Spectrum version. This was dual mode 48k/128k btw, if you ran it on a 48k machine you wouldn't get any music.

Lemmings
Worms
Mortal Kombat 2
Monkey Island
Eye of the Beholder
The Settlers
North vs South
Superfrog.
At least that was my depressionless childhood.

Outrun on the Amiga is pure garbage. It's a hack job of a port. Get Lotus 3 instead, it's a much better game.

i have a ZX spectrum 48k in good esthetic condition both in the inside and outside but the keyboard doesen't work and the signal looks bad.

If you want to escape reality for a little while.

>>5334108
The MM1 map looks about the size of the average Pokemon world map. Others are small.

>>5334108
But how does it compare to Daggerfall?

>>5332876
>>5332846
he was probably right to. Anyone who lists the Amiga port of Outrun as something to try is in serious, serious need of help.

Amazing ports, but still better in the arcade. Ultimas are fine until you get to 6, which is better on PC.

>>5328125
that guy knows his shit though.

Myself, I'm partial to Elf, by Ocean, but it's probably an acquired taste.

Also:
Odyssey
Exile
Celtic Legends
Frontier
D-generation
New York Warriors
Pinball Fantasies
Super Cars II
Twinworld
Armour-Geddon
Carrier Command

Amiga has some good arcade ports, some awful ones, but even the good ones you may as well just play on MAME.

Knights of the Crystallion. It will demand more than you can imagine from you to beat it. If you do, though, you just may discover things about yourself you never dreamed of.

>>5326095
None, playing eurojank is just going to make it worse

>>5337048

>>5336998
That was coded by the late great Bill Williams who was probably the best Amiga programmer this side of the Atlantic.

>>5336998
This game is unfortunately a lot like Zak McKracken's mazes in that there's a lot of empty boring caverns to pad out space.

Good luck with the crippling depression, I know that feel.

Talking about the Amiga on /vr/ is useless because this place is full of kids who've never used or emulated one, and just all decided to keep droning on about how terrible it is.

The best and most interesting Amiga games are usually the more traditionally computer-oriented genres like RPGs and adventures. Most of the arcade-style stuff isn't worth bothering with.

>>5337674
As someone who still has working Amiga - somehow - this is depressing.

Bouphe will cure it.

Errgghhh...

Would have been nice if the Amiga had had a real text/char mode instead of going for the Mac approach of making the video system bitmap graphics-only.

>>5339141
It could have had both right out the box! Alas...

>>5337050
No the Atari ST sucks too.

>>5326095
If you don't mind hilariously bad voice acting, Wasted Dreams. You can even play it with a friend
