Gunship 2000 AGA - Amiga 1200 - Unboxing & Gameplay [Real Hardware / CRT Capture]

A helicopter simulator released by Microprose in 1991 for IBM Compatibles and ported to the Amiga in 1993. This is the updated version for AGA Amigas, published in 1994. The video contains unboxing and overview, as well as gameplay of a single mission on my Amiga 1200 (Blizzard 68030).
You can download my patch for the AGA version's weapons bug described in the video, here: aminet.net/package/game/patch/...
Or you can watch a brief video about it, here: • Fix for Amiga Gunship ...
Gunship 2000 is sequel to the legendary Gunship from the mid-80s which was very popular on both 8bit and 16bit formats, although it still looked like an 8bit game on the latter.
GS2000 is vastly improved in every way taking advantage of the 16bits, but in some cases the flight model was more convincing in the first game, in its own crude way.
Generally, it is quite an easy game; not 100% simulator, but not an arcade either. So, as with most Microprose games, it could be fun for both simulation buffs and casual gamers.
The VGA version is probably the best, though it's also really good on the Amiga.
I've only tried the Playstation version briefly on an emulator once, but I don't remember much because it's been months since I recorded that footage.
If memory serves, it felt more arcadeish, but it's possible that there were options available for more realistic gameplay.
Summing up, it is a great sequel and quite a memorable game.
I used to play it on the Amiga quite a bit and thought it was very enjoyable.

Played Gunship with C=64 and still have Gunship 2000 for mighty AMIGA (500 here). Still remember the joy of returning home by bus with the game box inside my backpack after waiting months for it (customs in a Third World country) Thanks for this great unboxing and video. Now flying with AH-64D for DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) but Gunship 2000 will be always a big part of my 16-bits soul \m/

Thanks for the look at this. I played a fair amount of gunship but was a little too young to appreciate it fully. Never played 2000.

IMHO it's the finest flight sim available for Amiga. It's a pity that the Amiga port didn't get the expansion the PC original had. Interestingly it was PC exclusive as even PSX version didn't got it. Finished the game recently using WinUAE emulator, since my Amiga 500 is long gone ;( Took me 32 missions to retire as Brigadier General. Here's my journey if anyone is interested: kzbin.info/aero/PLIku_oD9y-RA5g-0ypPiggkw6AUS_ph8W

Εξαιρετικό!!! Είχα αγοράσει την έκδοση για το CD32, η οποία έχει διαφορετικό κουτί, από την OCS/AGA!! Αλλά ουσιαστικά δεν παιζόταν με το gamepad!!!!!
