HIRED GUNS - Character Selection

[Milkymalk]

The novel and background that came with the box have left me wanting to convert the scenario into a Pen&Paper RPG. So much flavor that wasn't really necessary for this rather simple game... good times. I always liked that.

[abcdefg23226]

Your all forgetting tho how bad the old mouse was lol one of the buttons would always be broken and need a thousand pounds of pressure per ince to work :)

Good times tho

I miss them :)

I loved this game, My brother, two mates and I played it to death, most of the characters were referred to by name, but we always called Cheule 'Sweetcheeks' for some reason...........

[churchy99]

I would love to see this universe and characters expanded more deeply. Maybe in the form of a graphic novel because I don't know how you could top this game!

[Byos4902]

Which characters are the best?

[Jimbatron]

@Byos4902 I always used to take the two combat mechanoids, CIM and CIM-Lite as they can take the most damage, carry the most equipment, and don't need to breath, so can stay under water indefinitely (that's a huge advantage in some levels). Bonden and Kiurcher I think have the next highest Physique stats (i.e. how much damage they can take) I think. Characters with higher Agility (mostly the girls) can survive longer falls, but I find Physique more critical against the tougher enemies later on.

immense game!! two of us crowded round a keyboard with two more using old megadrive controllers....  sounded awesome too

[MarzioBalducci82]

The persons that played this game will be choosen to group the NWO Defence System

[peterg917]

Even now this tune still holds it's own compared with PS2,3 Xbox gaming music

1126thmp agree it was ahead of it's time. I remember Hard coding Copper lists ( Co_proccessor ) myself and programming the good old "Blitter" in Machine Code.

Those days have certainly gone.

[andrew9592]

i love you all fans,completely agree with you!

[Hexto7]

Thank you sir!

[peterg917]

What a Tune! I Think the best Ever

Spey Bonden, 22 year old citizen starting out with a shotgun and a grenade launcher in his backpack. My favourite.

[BigRolandooo]

My favourite amiga game in 1993

[robertow99]

I played it on Amiga 500

[VvicsieE78]

wow memories, my fav Amiga game ever, used to play it with my neighbour all the time

[Alextelomena]

Great game! I played it on my Amiga 4000!

[garettchase]

Best. Gaming. Music. Ever.

[sys2074]

one of the finest games ever!

[robotwo]

Why don't they tell the gender of the cyborg?

[quqxavier]

its mech!

It hasnt got any genitals...

[robotwo]

0:31 CYBORG!

which means it once was a human , and therefore must've been born with a specific gender , learn the difference :P

[quqxavier]

Okay... I was looking at the Mech..

MIYRIEL TORRE Born 2612, New Europe.

Miyriel led a very sheltered and otherwise uninteresting life for a long

time. When she was informed that she was wasting slowly away from a

rare disease for which there was no cure, she immediately squandered

the entire family fortune on getting a complete body replacement. Essen-

tially she is now a cyborg. Her brain is all that's left of the original but it

remains as sharp as ever.

[robotwo]

aw D8 , poor girl :'c

[sys2074]

@robotwo The novel that is included with the game gives ample hint that Miyriel is female.

[ryogap76]

Seriously, if only the physical hardware layer stayed the same in personal computers today, then we wouldn't have this 640/1024kb pipe to squeeze through!

Amiga, a computer beyond its' time.

[1126thmp]

Amen!

[ZZombyWooff]

My father always played with MC 128-7 CIM, whereas I always took Kiurcher :D

Golden Days... Amiga <3

[ceffydriver]

wicked track! did rewrite it with a mate (he did all of it) in FL7 but we couldnt find anyway to redo the wa wa?

[Andrial12]

Sidechain yout kick with the percussion, then put a filter over it with the LFO modulating the cut off with a timing of a 1/4 of a bar. Cha!

[churchy99]

I always remember watching this game and never playing it - when we had our amiga I was a little too young to get it (I was about 4 or 5!) but I loved the look, the idea, the music. Now I'm tracking down a place where I can "get a hold of it". As I love retro gaming and wandered what this would be like!

[fingerbib2000]

favourite game of all time...remember this with 3 mates around the machine. Was my amiga so always got to be Cim :D

Fantastic music and atmosphere...all the manuals you got with the game added so much to it. they don't make 'em like this anymore..

[nemesis908]

Gud tiemz.

I dont know how i got half as far as i did playing this as a kid.

[richard1025]

Christ this brings back memories - loved this game back in the day. Remember many days lost playing this with 2 mates around a keyboard vying for control lol.

[EltaxBoy]

music is just perfect! great game:)

[Pulsebass]

GOD I miss this game. It was great!

[1126thmp]

Poor Amiga 15 years ahead of its time! God this game rocked!!

[TheJaaaMan]

What happened to super games like this?!?!?!?

[Cimlite]

I think a major factor is that there's so many people (and money) involved in games development today. HG was done by just a few people, primarily one guy if I've understood it correctly.

[TheJaaaMan]

Wow....one guy! thats amazing! The amount of time and skill, effort needed to pull this off by one person...thats a true achievement in my books! Okay...so more people involved in the development process means the single developer intensity & idea can often get diluted and lost ...leading to lackluster games being produced?

[BinaryReader]

The greated game of all time. Can tell this ones the cracked version with CIM-LITE in there :)

[DanBoldy]

Original AMIGA version already had CIMlite

[krumpkrumpkrumpkrump]

Yup, CIMlite was always there
