Lemonade Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The best game I played on the Amiga involved playing the character of one of 4 cocks, shooting baddies of a Pacman nature by.. well... And ending the levelby jumping into bed, where your character banged a huge-titted cartoon character.ACE!ScrewAttack Video Game, Angry Video Game Nerd: Atari Porno! | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sross90 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Amiga games Have to agree about cannon fodder!

Le Stu Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 That's what every Spectrum owner says. It's unfortunate you landed with the inferior system but oh well. I owned a speccy and then a C64. The Spectrum had an amazing collection of games despite being a complete piece of shit, barely colour, no hardware sprites or scrolling, bleep bleep tacky rubbery dotcrawl infested stupid keyword BASIC implementation product of a true British entrepreneurial genius. *and Parallax music was bangin'.**and Delta. Actually, anything by Hubbard or Galway or Daglish was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Speedball II, Brutal Deluxe all the way!That was written by John Foxx of UNDERPASS! fame wasn't it? (the music, I mean)Amiga music was the best. Commodore stuffed an analogue synthesiser in the C64 and a Fairlight sampler in the Amiga.

The Kernel Loaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 **and Delta. Actually, anything by Hubbard or Galway or Daglish was awesome.Rob Hubbard is a genius. I managed to pick up his C64 Orchestra CD which I think is now out of print. The box it came in was fucking cool:Nowadays, you are either a musician or a programmer. Back then, you had to be both - this included creating a sequencer program that could interpret specified notes using the SID chip and arrange them as music. Quite incredible to think that so many composers developed their own sequencers to do this. All composers need to do these days is record the song, save as a general audio file format and slap it onto the game disc, with the programmers inserting about one line of code to play the song at a particular point in the game. I have a huge respect for video game soundtrack composers, especially before the PS1/Saturn/N64 era. My favourite game soundtrack of all time has to be Streets of Rage. The soundchip in the Mega Drive was horrible compared to the SNES, but what Yuzo Koshiro pulled off with that game was absolutely amazing. He even got asked to DJ in nightclubs after the game was released.YouTube - Streets Of Rage 1 - Beatnik On The Ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 C64 sound chip VSTs are ace. UNDERPASS!! was nae bad, considering he was in Ultravox. But then they are MEANT to be one of those bands that were good til they were famous, and then were shite (cf. also Simple Minds). Maybe they were, mebbe they werena, but why take the risk of sitting through some old Ultravox!, just in case its good, when it would probably mean nothing to me.How the hell did they get one of these...into one of these?Badly??

Le Stu Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Microchip technology Here's what the Amiga looked like before the circuits were integrated on VLSI chips. Jay Miner wired up thousands of logic chips by hand to create the custom chipset of the Amiga, including the Paula soundchip which offered 4 channel 8 bit digital sound back in 1986 (almost but not quite as good as the early Fairlights)And I used to be a huge Ultravox fan but they probably were better as Ultravox!

I think my favourite chiptune is: Sounds like the old Ariston advert I totally agree with you about old programmers. Total gods. Do you know Martin Walker is one of the Sound On Sound staff now?

Le Stu Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 All that for 0.9 seconds of sampling time (fully expanded), or is that generous.For the Amiga? Well, you could use all the free RAM, basically. There were limitations but I used to sample and replay breaks on my 1MB A500 no probs. In fact, since I believe you are possibly a jungle head you might recall this track:YouTube - Some Justice - Urban Shakedown2 Amigas hand synced plus some outboard FX:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claimed the ST was better because 'it could do software tricks, I don't believe the Amiga could do those'I had to go outside and cool down, man.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Nah, the Fairlight. Gotta laugh at the Atari rage, I never had one, but at least you could use it to control an Akai sampler, bingo. So many tunes made with that set up. MIDI ports RULE!!! etc, ad nauseam.Micro Men was funny, that Armstrong guy Rocks.Back on topic, PGA tour '94 on megadrive, ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Back on topic, PGA tour '94 on megadrive, ace.Awesome game, probably sold more Megadrive/Genesis consoles than anything else (except for Madden maybe)I was never that into sports games but California Games was special, even if the tape multi load on the C64 was hell.
