Amiga CD32 - Flink

[axise100]

Impossible saving the CD32 system with games like this one in the 90's, it's not bad, but nothing great for that moment. Looks silly after some time...but good graphics.

[Valnuss]

@axise100 well I played it and its one of the best games for CD32 (in my opinion)

[fuckcomments]

the lost system?

Unbealieavably, incredible, super awesome, gorgeous graphics by Henk Nieborg. The pixel god himself.

Sound sucks and graphic rocks like in every game made by Henk Nieborg.

@bqqqaez Sound is pretty good in the Sega CD rev, actually.

Awesome, awesome graphics! I was trying to find Flink that would work with WinUAE. Unfortunately the 2-disk CD32 rip doesn't run properly on any of the configurations. Pity as I really wanted to play this, it's a true gem amongst Amiga platformers and one that truly showed off Amiga capabilities - compared to Sonic or Mario games.

@kad3t Try to search for whdload version on BTTR - back 2 the roots web site.

@bqqqaez

Oh, why didn't it cross my mind? Thanks, I shall do that! ^_^

[bqqqaez]

@kad3t No problem :)

[DrRuelel]

@kad3t there is a Sega CD version that works on a emulator

[andyukmonkey]

@DrRuelel And a standard Megadrive/Genesis version too

[scscanlan]

The look reminds of Rayman, I'd like to try a few Amiga CD32 games...

[janmansde3dede]

Oh shut up, your just a AVGN fan who likes to compare everything to big game studio's like Nintendo and sega, go away let us amiga fans enjoy this vid.

For being on a 32-bit console, this doesn't look a whole lot better than a game on the SNES or a Sega 32X. The graphics look similar in quality to Mega Man X on the SNES from 1993...but that was from a 16-bit cartridge.

[ECMIM]

This game was actually released on Mega Drive (Europe) and Sega CD (N. America) w/ virtually the same graphics (there might--but might not as I don't recall exactly--be slightly more color in the 32 version, but that's it).

[mr2ange]

@ECMIM Being 32-bit does'nt mean that the hardware is any more powerful than 16-bit, just remember the atari jaguar - that was a 64bit machine, yet it didn't really compare to the ps1 / n64 did it...

There were lots of 32bit consoles that sucked

[ECMIM]

@mr2ange Uh, I didn't say anything about power--I said that it was "virtually the same"--not sure what you're going on about.

[poppajoe11]

The music in the sega genesis version where awesome. Why isnt there any music at all here?

[superturbo2]

the music was just ordinary cd-tracks stored on the game-cd and I think WinUAE is unable to record CD-Audio...

[r8qt7]

winamp can play tracks you need it as mp3s

[primalconvoy]

Im glad that your version had just as bad sound effects as mine did. I thought that mine was faulty. now i know all of them had rubbish scrapy samples!

[Jimmy77777]

This game had beautiful graphics and some really creative design. I remember being really impressed by some of the later levels. I think there was one where you had to jump over these giant tomatoes rolling down a slope, and another where you had to jump from one gliding leaf to another. Something like that.

[mr2ange]

@Jimmy77777 Wasnt that mickey mouse's magical quest on the snes?

search: The Magical Quest:Starring MIckey Mouse level1-2

[Jimmy77777]

@mr2ange @mr2ange Don't even remember making that comment, but no, I was thinking of Flink. Search for "Amiga Longplay Flink" - tomatoes are around the 45 minute mark. Interesting that Mickey Mouse had the same concept, though.

[mr2ange]

@Jimmy77777 Wow you're right, damn! they really do look similar! perhaps too similar hehe
