First Time Playing Moonstone on Amiga 500!

One of my favourite Amiga games! Still a very fun game to play, especially together with some friends.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Yep, I had a blast playing it and didn't even think once about its age. Thanks for watching.

[@ClassicGameSessions]

This game combines aspects of some different genres in a fun way - enjoyed watching you battle it out! 👍

[@FloppyDeepDive]

It was a blast to play. Ready to play some more Amiga games!

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Fantastic game, brutal but fun!

[@FloppyDeepDive]

It really is! I never had so much fun dying!

[@Charleshawn66]

I need to pull out my A1200 and give this a try!

[@FloppyDeepDive]

You won't be disappointed!

I love moonstone it's a stunning game, I remember the first time I played on a school buddies 500, there were 3 of us and we playing against each other, he let me take a copy so I could play on my own machine, after a few attempts I was able to complete it, it's quite hard to complete but when work out how to move, when to hide and when to hit it's quite easy.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

It an excellent game! Thank you for watching!

I friggin' love Moonstone. Maybe the best action game for me. I still remember playing as kid, stereos loud and I encountered that swamp monster. Man I got jump from that sudden loud screech sound and instantly got pulled in mud. Fun times 😂 It's really mandatory to move up&down A LOT to succeed. Also game ramps up difficulty if you buy too much stuff so to me, I always went all the locations, preferably let dragon kill the cpu players and then slayed the dragon myself. One of the best sounding and looking Amiga games. 10/10

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Yes, it was an awesome Amiga experience! I hope to play more Amiga games, any suggestions?

@@FloppyDeepDive There's of course known classics like Cannon Fodder, Lemmings, Street Rod etc. but I'd like to bring up one very unknown game that certainly isn't everyones cup of tea. That would The Clue! (Der Clou). Game is very modest, meaning that it's almost still pictures, bit of animations here and there and much of the gameplay is talking to people about their skills and their share as here comes the interesting part, you're making heists to various places. There's few stages to each heist. Getting right crew like driver is always needed, maybe electrician to disable alarms etc. then the actual planning stage is the salt in this one as time doesn't move at all until you walk and do actions like open/break door, go to guard to knock him out. Everything takes time and it changes according to tool used. Interesting aspect is also that you have to consider what tool you use. Use angle grinder in old people's house middle off the night and you have to escape immeadiately in real execution stage. So you plant your moves and crew before and then comes the exiting part where you pretty much can't interfere and you're just looking your plan and hoping everything goes well. This game looks really shallow in the beginning, but has much more plot and thinking the heists than it originally seems to have. Plot is really good and there's of course police and one inspector that's always after you and you can end game up by ie. talking to this inspector disguised etc. I highly suggest to try this if one likes slower placed thoughtful games. No action here. But to me as mentioned setting of being the thief is actually really nice twist to the usual "I'm superhero/good guy" setting. Oh and this game gets challenging very steeply after few heists. But all-in-all it's the game I always go back these days. Actually haven't played for ages and looks it might be time again :)

MOONSTONE is one of the most inspiring classic games, i have ever played on my Amiga 500 - and especially with my friends 😺👍🕹️🕹️🕹️🕹️. It even makes me want to draw my own furry comic fan arts 🖋️🖊️✏️🖍️ of this game 😹😸😺👍.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Hey Ari! It was a blast to play, for sure!!

[@Aegelis]

Clearly from the day when PC games were brutal in game play. I like the look and concept, but think I'll give this a pass without a cheat code because there seems to be a lot of fast cheap-shots, random chance, and quick ending without recovery. Thanks for the review! I never heard about this game when I had an Amiga.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Do you still have an Amiga or any retro computers?

[@Aegelis]

@@FloppyDeepDive I have my wife's C-64, though usually use the emulator to play because of speed and save points. Now and then we're fire up 2 player games for kicks. 😁

[@gametimewithunclejer]

This does look rather cool, but also seems to be one of those games that punishes you for playing alone.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

I can tell you are a writer because you described it perfectly!

[@gametimewithunclejer]

Thanks...appreciate the compliment, Tom!

[@robertmiles9942]

Ah, but when you play with friends.. they are the opposition! It's a blast!

[@rivards1]

That was an awesome intro and game. If only it was in the right ASPECT RATIO. Honestly, I can't even look at stretched video. The first appearance of a squashed circle or short fat character makes me want to scream.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Sorry to make you scream Bob. I played on my 1702 but the capture device stretched There is no going back 1st time playing. I'll do better next time.

[@robertmiles9942]

When Dark Souls came out and the whining started up, I was like.. bruh. You can't hardly.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

So True! Thanks for watching!

[@davidmsf]

why not a pentagram??? 🤔

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Nah, have to keep it family-friendly.
