The Classic Amiga games only had a joystick with one button, but they were always more fun to play because of the way they were developed.
My brother and I would play Demolition Ball it was like that game in Battlestar Galactica where players armored up and tried to pass a ball into a hole in the wall and knocked each other over to try and get the ball or intercept a pass. I can't seem to find it anywhere and a friend borrowed all my Amiga disks and never returned them after moving out of state. But it was fun to play and knock over the other players with a spiked fist and get the ball in the hole in the wall before time ran out for the quarter.
If you ask me the games for the Amiga were just more fun to play than any other platform at the time. If the CD32 didn't have a patent issue that prevented it from being sold in the USA, it would have sold a lot with fun to play games.
Bard's Tale for the Amiga was fun with good music and graphics. The Bard's Tale remake wasn't as fun and sort of miss out on what made the Classic Bard's Tale so great. They even had books based on Bard's Tale that sold really well as well as other stuff.
A lot of these Amiga games it is hard to get the IP to recreate them on modern platforms, it is good to see Dino Dino make a version of their Kick Off for the PS4, I hope it is as fun as the Amiga version was.
- bwldrbst 11y agoDo you mean Speedball or Speedball 2 (http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/speedball-2-brutal-deluxe http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/speedball-2-brutal-delux...) ?
- iagooar 11y agoSpeedball 2 was so addictive, good times.
- troels 11y agoSpeedball 2 was absolutely classic. It was clearly influenced by this great seventies movie, in case you need a shot of nostalgia: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/
- orionblastar 11y agoYes that's it. I got the name wrong.
- Kiro 11y agoAre you sure it is called Demolition Ball? Can't find anything about it.
- orionblastar 11y agoSpeed Ball apparently I remembered the name wrong.
- davidlenehan 11y agoAre you possibly thinking about the great "Brutal Sports Football"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutal_Sports_Football https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutal_Sports_Football
- orionblastar 11y agoNo it was Speedball apparently. There was a Mutant League series of games that had zombies and skeletons and other monsters in it, and they had Football and Hockey and they could rip the other players apart as well, so it was like Brutal Sports Football. They should make a modern version of those games, I'm sure they would sell well.
