[@MarcGameplays]

I love Amiga Shadow of the Beast 1, 2 and 3. Its music is stunning.

[@lucy7594]

[@squarewindow]

Love this

[@parabolee]

It Came From the Desert is one of my favorite games of ALL time. I play it every few months! WAY ahead of it's time!

[@TheMythNomer]

I agree. It Came From The Desert was one of the best Cinemaware games, only really surpassed by Wings. Of course, it helps if the player doesn't click past moments where the game is trying to throw the player a bone (such as when the theres a knock at the door, or when the phone rings 🤣. Once the various mini games kick in, and the player becomes well practiced at them, the game really opens up into something of a 16-bit masterpiece.

[@christope129]

I loved It Came From The Desert when I was young. I don't think I've ever experienced anxiety in a video game like when escaping the hospital. Definitely give it another go. Also can we all appreciate the music when visiting Dusty at the KBUG radio station.

[@intrepidis1]

It Came From The Desert! Wow, I'd forgot about that. I must have spent many hours playing it back in the day. Such drama and intrigue, and puzzling. Awesome.

[@kaiserjoe2316]

The entire world got over-run because I was having too much fun escaping from hospital.🙂 At least I didn't have to pay. My insurance costs must have rocketed.

[@DJGillman]

Literally just bought the Amiga A500 mini yesterday on offer along with 3000 games on a USB stick. Can’t wait to enjoy the nostalgia.

[@ibelieveinlove9943]

Amiga? I can name soooo many games I played on my Atari Amiga ST 500: Bomb Jack, Ivanhoe, Metal Masters, Lemmings, Rick Dangerous, Thunderbirds, International Karate and MANY MORE

[@TheMythNomer]

Twenty obscur-ish Amiga games worth trying (in no particular order): - Jumping Jack'Son = Spin those decks. - Carvup = Painter meets platformer. - Brat = Lemmings meets Jack the Nipper (sort of). - Jetstrike CD32 = Similar to Wings of Fury, but much later in the Amiga's life. - Virocop = Arcade game with a faint wiff of Quazatron about it - Projectyle = Odd ball game vaguely like Speedball. - Menace = Early DMA Designs game similar to R-Type. - Head Over Heels = Conversion of the popular 8-bit isometric arcade adventure. - Logical = Arcade puzzler. Fill each dial with the same coloured balls. - Twintris = Quite possibly the best two player version of Tetris. - Volfied / Qix = Two games with the same idea: Hive off as much of the screen as you can. - Babylon Twins = Excellent platformer that deserves more recognition. - Rodland = Excellent arcade conversion. One or two players. - Heimdall 2 CD32 = Gorgeous arcade adventure with a decent soundtrack. - Blitz Bombers = A superior Bomberman clone. Best with multiplayer. - Flink CD32 - Psynosis's swan song to the Amiga. Stunning pixel art. - Shufflepuck Cafe - Air Hockey with aliens. - Dogs of War - Shooter in the vein of Commando / Ikari Warriors / Gunsmoke - Wonderland - Text adventure with interesting user inferface. - Wicked = Quirky shoot'em up.

[@ColneCrusader]

The Amiga version of Vigilante broke my heart. Shocking version of one of my favourite coin-ops! 😔😄

[@pnvgordinho]

Yeah, the arcade was awesome.

[@markveganism5003]

The arcade was so good ,it was my favourite game ever when I found it

[@AmigaVR]

Good we have Devil's Tempel 👍🏻

[@Equinoxalpha647]

Valiant - click on the character portrait to get to the character sheet and inventory management. The reason you couldn't see anything when you first went outside was because it was night time. There is a time of day icon in the character screen, so if it's night time, you wait X hours. You can also camp.

[@stevenmeakin9041]

i loved my amiga 500 and 600 had some Good game's

[@silverian]

The first RPG related Amiga game looked really nice! In some of those old RPG games ability/success to picklock chest depended upon character's dexterity. In the first game there must be daylight/night time (dark) effecting visibility. Also very nice artwork in the game It came from the desert.

[@gaz-a-reno8891]

Gem, Your Honour. I have to raise an objection. ‘Lord of War’. Though being unique. Looks like it’s actually based upon an older Atari game called ‘Warlords’. You can currently get it for the Evercade Handheld! Also ‘Evil Dawn’ looks like a ‘Rygar’ clone. Never heard of ‘Amber Moon’ though?! But that does look good, and worth checking out! ‘It Came From the Desert’ is just superb! Worth spending time with. Check out ‘North vs South’ too. You might like it?! 🤔👍

[@aimeeandstevewebber4542]

Yes, and Medieval Mayhem which is a homebrew update also on 2600. Warlords was also an arcade. I would say it is one of the best 4 player games ever. ‘Lord of War’ doesn’t look to have captured the speed or intensity of the original.

[@DaneofHalves]

I'll never NOT be enamored by her lighthearted and enthusiastic energy! Great game info all the time and always on the hunt for more! Cheers!

[@TheGebs24]

Thank you SO much ☺️

[@stigkenobi7525]

It Came From the Desert, is amazing.

[@merman1974]

It's Never Ending Story 2, based on the sequel. Narco Police, you can send in more than one group and switch between them.

[@clairecgamer]

Really enjoyed watching your journey playing through and discovering these games - your commentary is top, so funny! Heard of Rambo III and Thunder Blade from back in the day on the ST. Why is Rambo so slow though...sheesh! :D Lords of War looked great as did Narco Police - really different kind of shooter and loved the art style. Great vid, loving the Amiga ones, keep em coming!

[@WMW-82]

I loved my amigo do you ever remember "the bug" joy stick you could get for it? Was great playing - Lombard Rac Rally, Speedball, Cannon fodder and best of all Road Rash

[@reece3891]

I seriously need to play on a Amiga!! Never played on 😮 Another banger of a video brev 👌🏽

[@garciavma1]

I found this channel some days ago and I love your videos. The information you share is great and so the stories (like the one you sold all your ps3 collection to buy that wedding ring). Plus I love british english. Greetings from México. You have a new subscriber.

[@pagb666]

Thunder Blade and Narco Police are running too fast

[@geekbox1099]

Thunder blade Pepsi logo reminds me of the documentary "Pepsi where's my jet" on Netflix

[@waeraas]

You absolutely need to try UGH! Its easy to learn, yet hard to master. Simple yet addicitve! The music and soundeffects are fabulous! Ps. It came from the desert is awesome!

[@VALUEMYGAMING]

They are some very "interesting" looking games! I wondered what was going on with Rambos face for a while until you mentioned he was turning into a skull 😆. I'd say the first RPG and the castle bashing games where the most fun looking of the bunch! The police shooter looked extreamly demoralising 🤣

[@perihelion7445]

Get stuck more into Ambermoon, you'll be stunned to see there are really quality textured 3D sections, I played the game to death in around 1997, the game is magnificent. Also check out the game Perihelion published by Psygnosis.

[@derekwhite9113]

Find amega game called walker it's like a soldier and planes game soldiers 2 falling from the sky and planes to when you shoot them down and the soldiers are on the ground to you up and down to and kill everything in the game it's very good it's walker game for the Amiga you find walker the game find it you will like it thanks

[@greybadger3142]

Hi, new subscriber enjoying the channel. I had an Amiga 500 and 1200 on release but parted ways with them many many years ago. As a PC and console gamer, there have been many times since, that I’ve regretted not keeping them or the games, of which I have such fond memories. In a moment of huge extravagance, I’ve just spent £100 on a 500 Mini and am really looking forward to reliving some of those memories, but am a little confused about how to go about eventually collecting any more games beyond the 25 preloaded titles. With no original games anymore, do I buy roms? I’ve been pointed at sites like Lemon Amiga and been told about abandonware, but is this piracy? I saw a USB on sale “Amazon Recommended” Which for £20, offered 1600 additional titles. But reading the description, the seller describes the content as abandonware. If Amazon are recommending it, it can’t be pirated right…? Confused and any advice appreciated. :) Badger

[@jedidiahmorley7842]

I actually owned a copy of Vigilante! Bothered to complete it to, on a day off sick from school; near broke my wrist in the effort!

[@skeggjoldgunnr3167]

Thanks for sharing your love of the Amiga with us. Please just keep the channel the same.

[@Drez47]

I remember the arcade version of Vigilante being pretty good. Maybe not so much for the Amiga version.

[@dlfrsilver]

@Gebs24 : Ambermoon got many fixes, did you test the latest version by Pyrdacor ?

[@dlfrsilver]

Ambermoon is a huge game. by Huge i mean that it is longer to play from start to the end that Final Fantasy 7 on Playstation. Even you know the game at perfection, it will take you 3 weeks of plays 8 hours a day :D

[@stuartyounger5801]

Cinemaware made some fab titles that pushed the Amiga.

[@CrisTheRed]

My favourite game ever is Hunter but all the rom copies I have don’t load gutted

[@fatty3383]

It came from the desert was inspired by the 50s film them apparently.

[@johnkayanas6755]

It's obvious the game Narco Police is not configured properly.

[@salsanachos7910]

There is an urgent need for a co-host for the "didn't work at first glance" cases.;P

[@grumsproduktion4083]

Someone took a good look at Rygar before making Wicked Evil Dawn i see.

[@perinoid]

"Lords of war" is actually a port of an Atari VCS game "Warlords" - it is no unique concept. Of course, Amiga can do it much better.

[@indegoadult]

OC: Games I played from this list Rambo3 lol please review Liberation and Dreamweb

[@markveganism5003]

Loved narco police 🚔

[@philipproedig]

How did ocean know about Sly Stallone's skull...He is still alive and currently busy by preparing Rambo 7 - new blood- ...Yes, it's true...it seems to be a neverending story...I prefer Apidya - War at madows edge-....over most Amiga games, except Turrican 2 and Uridium 2 of course....I hadn't known anything about bees and flowers until I played Apidya the first time...The best Gradius/Nemesis alike game ever....😁😁😁😁

[@Lbf5677]

your commentaries are quite good madam

[@TheGebs24]

Thank you

[@WWarped1]

Great video, I do love some Amiga action. If you want games then The Human Killing Machine by Tiertex is an awful fighting game, so bad you should find it funny? I also recall something called Bad Cat, but I can't remember much about it. Maybe it's the brain protecting me? In the same way, the brain will block the moment of impact in a car crash? Weird Dreams, this was a wonderful idea for a game, but poorly executed.

[@jamesmincks7886]

Coding on Rambo 3 by a Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd 🤣🤣🤣

[@theatheisthammer]

Evil dawn=rygar rip off

[@andydavidson1278]

I’m sure it ain’t turd Gemma😝😂😂

[@TheHazarduz]

My god... Rambo III looks terrible. 😂

[@theoldpcgamer77]

Vigilante and Rambo 3 look absolute rubbish. The PC Engine Vigilante was almost arcade perfect and Rambo 3 on the Megadrive is so much better. The ST and Amiga had some good action games and arcade ports but it was very hit and miss, the consoles certainly were the better choice from the late 80's onward.

[@derekwhite9113]

If you find the walker game send me a photo you playing the game I like to see the game playing again thanks very much my name is Derek thanks

[@VikingTeddy]

I loved Thunder Blade in the arcade, and the Mega Drive version was ok, but this was just awful to see. The reason Narco Police was so hard is because your framerate is insane! It's supposed to be a lot slower :). What I remember from the game us that it looked pretty but didn't have much substance.

[@spookygeek9459]
