Amiga Emulator question

i just have so many old disks and want to play them. the actual emulator is crap and buggy and there are hardly any games available for it.

it doesn't sound hopeful though does it. most of my disks will have a copy protection on them anyway, so that's that shot.

Moonstone
No Second Prize
Future Wars
Operation Stealth
Gravity Power
Alien Breed
Base Jumpers
Chaos Engine
Speedball 2
Jetstrike,
Settlers
Wizkid

I spent many a day with my amiga connected via a 30ft Serial cable to my next door neighbour playing

Lotus Turbo Challange
Skidmarks
Stunt car racer
Knights of the Sky

whilst chatting over a his younger brothers teenage mutant ninja turtle walkie talkies

Someone is trying to remake carrier command

Xenon 2
Powerdrome
Cadaver
Shadow of the Beast (ropey game but I seem to remember the music being AWESOME)
The Killing Game Show

cool about the carrier command remake, i hope the guy finishes it.
But if he hasn't got the physics and general control feel the same i could be disappointed.

seconded:
Syndicate, Chaos Engine, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Settlers, The Killing Game Show, Wings, Hired Guns

loads of movie clips to download showing run-thrus of games inc. many in their entirety. a real joy to see games like Turrican, Flashback and The Chaos Engine in action again.

yes to mullet.

battering my amiga emu lately.

played kick off 2 last night, and almost hit the roof when I finally scored past the super-goalkeeper.

Then i scored again, it was 2-0 at half time. too much pressure, lots of missed chances, and i ended up losing 3-2. gah!

are amiga emulators any better these days? i bet copyright laws wouldn't allow it but a bumper pack of the best amiga games + supereasy 'grandma-friendly' amiga emulator program would surely make big bucks and make many people happy.

just a quick flick through this thread brought back a whole host of memories: syndicate! silly putty! wizkid! pinball dreams! but i've been through the nightmare of winuae before and fucked if i'm doing that again

also this:

= amazing

the latest winuae i got from torrentz, came with all the correct rom files and a decent set of games. it seems pretty friendly to me compared to how i remember the first versions, and i've not had any problems with any of the games so far.

i have one for xbox too which is obv far more easy to use.

remind us of some more classic games, ste! screenshots and the like. i just yesterday started playing fallout3 so this is gonna take up all my time for months but when im done and fancy something more basic i may well get the latest winuae

i always remember exile (as mentioned above) being the most incredible game, it was kinda free-roaming wasn't it? wonder if it'd stand up these days, same with elite ii

also, why does the second disk drive never work with these emulators? it would save a lot of hassle with these multi disk games

i never played exile, was a click away from loading it last night so i'll go back and see.

i couldn't figure out how to do shit-all in exile.

i was gonna play a cadaver add-on episode thing that i'd never done before, but it stopped working after the first go.

so in exile, if i've accidentally blown up all three available grenades (due to not knowing the controls) I'm going to have to restart ?

Played Kick Off 2 Final Whistle last night, because I'm a masochist, and decided to play it in player cam mode rather than nearest-to-ball nonsense.

Hard. Played as a forward of course. On the rare occasion somebody passed me the ball it was really weak and I'd just mess it up anyway.

Struggling to understand what the hell I saw in this game, I remember playing it for ever, it's just torture.

I've just tried it! INFURIATING! So I'm strolling along and I see a well with a giant red flashing IN sign. So I go in, and wait for a tedious cutscene message, then descend a ladder. But at the bottom, I can't seem to get off the ladder, let alone go through the door at the bottom. Now of course I'm not quite sure if the controller is mapping everything properly so I spend a few minutes hitting every controller button, mouse button, and key on the keyboard, several times over, all to no avail. Eventually I give up and ascend the ladder, to be greeted at the top by another tedious cutscene message saying "perhaps a key would have been helpful". THANKS A BUNCH.

Then I died shortly after. Still, great music, lovely parallax scrolling (ah those were the days), perhaps I'll give it another go.

Haha that's funny because I just watched this video yesterday of someone having exactly the same problem with the well.

Ever since I read this post about Amiga Disk Format firmware for a USB/Floppy emulator, I've been thinking about getting an Amiga and giving it a shot. Well, I made a reckless eBay purchase yesterday, and will soon have an Amiga 1200 (which I coveted so much when I had an Amiga 600 as a youngster).
