Amiga Longplay [413] Switchblade

[m1nt9reen]

speccy version has best music by far

[jassuncao]

The "chip-tune" soundtrack present in the ZX Spectrum and Atari ST versions sounds better

[puppetgeneral39]

The worlds most adorable commando!

[LostAtSe]

this is why metroid and super castlevania came with maps! what 7 year old has a chance with this?

[aledbutcha]

Props to Ben Daglish.

Where is he now?

I remember playing this when I was a lad.

Never finished it though.

Always remembered this tune, ALWAYS!

@aledbutcha I have no idea where he is today, its just so sad that Ben never enjoyed his work at gremlin, he could do a lot more than music but that is what he only got ! not much later after this game he left gremlin,he said to me that he left out of boredom... I always wondered why he never said that to the boss (ian)...

[andersbiro]

I always found this music awesome but somehow preferred the chip version

[weaselfierce]

I must admit I really enjoyed the sequel, but I'll have to check this one out now

[auritone]

Another great Amiga title. Played this to death. A lot better than the sequel.

Once again, thanks for posting this.

I miss my Amiga! :)

[timmya4000]

i liked this game more than the sequel. goes to show that original and innovative gameplay goes a lot further than graphics and action.

[sunmax1]

Great game. great music, hard game.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Love the early Anime influence that it had.

[SteveBeck]

I used to love this game but as I used to be shit at it as I was young!

I watched the whole thing 3 days ago and was surprised that the same tune played throughout the WHOLE THING!! It's a great tune but it engrains itself into your memory. The reasong why I'm writing this is cos I've had this tune stuck in my head for the last 3 days!!! ARGH!!

[SPeacock]

@SteveBeck Workaround: Turn off the speakers and put on your own custom soundtrack (MP3 player, CD player, etc.) :)

[TidanLikida1]

I used to love playing this game on my Amiga! It's a classic! Thanks for posting it!

[banido]

I remember playing Switchblade II, never played the first one though.

[Hatchyack]

This game has pretty cool music, to my surprise.

[OpticalFascism]

Needs more cowbell.

[Quazatronn]

@Hatchyack The ZX Spectrum 128k Music version ISN'T inferior to this one!

[sdjaar]
