I might get this game on PC, Syndicate Plus anyways, and maybe also get the DOSBox emulator so then it can run... I have a Vista and a 7, I miss my XP.
Oh wow this game! What classic. Remember when it first came out on Amiga and I got so hooked. The sound when people are burning will forever be etched into my brain haha
Looking forward to the the new Syndicate game despite it being fps.
Great post! Loved this game, back in the days.. The tune.. the good ol' graphics.. the gameplay.. the sound effects.. the possibility to incinerate people.. :P
There is many amiga games on PC where you don't have to use WinUAE (*.exe) :) That is integral game and emulator. Loading is much faster and there is multidisc games (for example Waxworks works great very fast loading and of course you don't have to change discs) :)
amiga vs pc: the amiga version has better graphic, and better sound. im plaing now in syndicate pc and i prefer the amiga version. ps. the radad in amiga version and pc version is different
Wow. I'd forgotten about this game. The early/mid nineties were the best time for me gaming. Games were original and had atmosphere. Chaos Engine, Alien Breed, SWOS, Knights of The Sky, F1 GP, Silent Service and Cannon Fodder. Can I play this on my Pc using an amiga emulator? If so, can anyone recommend a good site for me to visit? Many thanks.
@cubex55 Cheers. Didn't see your channel originally as i was using YouTube via my iPhone. Have downloaded WinUAE and am playing The Chaos Engine now. Will play Syndicate next. Cheers.
@AskMeddi..i'm sure that's a large part of it but also we were on a crest of a wave where games were breaking new boundaries. Nowadays, apart from open-world games, everything seems so cliched and 'already been done'. Games companies nowadays also seem more motivated by how much money they can get from people (shallow DLC and 'extra content'). They also go for the blockbuster 'style over substance' route that exists in much other media based entertainment.
I used to LOVE Syndicate! The graphics, music, sounds, the setting, the overal atmosphere, so many little hidden gems.... I could go on for days! I get chills still when I see Bullfrog's logo....
This was my favorite game, 18y ago. I've completed this game several times.
Still to this day I've never found out when and where to use the 'Access Card'. I didn't need this to complete the game but I REALLY need to know... Can somebody clear this up for me? Then I can put my mind to rest :)
I liked this game though when I played it I didn't know english. All I remember, I hypniticed people and gave them guns..thx for vid, it will remind me of this game :D
Is this the standard 4 disk version of the game? Or is it with the impossible expansion disk added? I bet its the standard since its only 3hours and 30 minutes and such a good player that could do them both (Without cheating) really would deserve a medal!
like a true pacifist i used to persuade everyone and it used to take me forever to complete the levels as i would wait untill everyone had been persuaded. the game used to slow down loads when i had an army following my agents around. i still wish i had a real persuadertron in real life because i would persuade everyone to give me money
You young whippersnappers may not know this, but us old timers who used to play this game remember that it was made from Peter Molyneux. THATS RIGHT!! THE GUY WHO MADE FABLE for the Xbox360!!
Still my fave squad based real time game and I prefer Amiga to PC. Speed on PC meant missions where too quick and relied more on auto-firing than manual aiming. Never really figured out syndicate wars as was v.tricky to get working on PC prior to dosbox.
And the 3 bars:
Red - speed
Blue - aim
Yellow - AI (will pick best weapon and automatically fire on enemy)
I have SYndicate wars on the PSx still.. an original copy as well! Iv got an Amiga emulator and I lvoe Syndicate! It was one of my fav games on my Amiga A600 :)
This was an awesome game. Please find a producer, who gives this Game new Grafics and new Sounds and i buy it one more time. It is more better than a lot of Games which you can buy today. Atari ST sucks.
was this the regular speed or has the framerate been dropped? jut looks a bit too fast/choppy than I remember. Anyway good to see this game getting the LP treatment, maybe someone will do the american revolt addon pack, and syndicate wars.
I loved this game back in the day but i was never able to get new agent to join my team. Thats why i used to use the "MARKSTEAM" code to get everything and just play through the mission as i see fit. The only mission i could not complete was the final mission, the mission in the atlantic ocean. Not seen how u did it yet but im looking forward to it.
This game looks so cool. I bought this game on the PSP resently and now that I've seen Syndicate in action I can't wait to try it out. Too bad this version doesn't have any music, because I have heard music in Snes version and liked it. It fitted in the game so perfeckly.
Great show of gaming skill by the way. I don't think I would complete missions with single agent. :)
OMGOMGOGM. me and my friends used to play this when we were 8-9 years old. we had no idea what we were doing but we had. thanks for uploading have tried to remeber what its was called for 10 years now :) gonna get it immediatly
Love the gameplay, love the cyberpunk theme - Bullfrog in their glory days. I'd love to see a remake of this with deeper game mechanics, multiplayer options, nice story and cinematics and whatnot !
@cubex55 Yo bro. Maybe you can help me. I got Syndicate from Abandonia and i was a full nutt for this game when i had my Amiga. Now, even with DOSBOX i cant play it cause it says that the game doesnt run on a 64bit OS. What can i do? Thanx in advance...
I never figured out what those three slider bars were for (the red, blue, and yellow). You could turn them up or down on each agent - I know the red one enhanced your speed but the other two I was never certain of.
@LuminarNightblade Red: left = heals fasterm right = walks faster; blue controls the accuracy, and yellow is about opening fire on his own, I think. I am only certain about the red bar. So turn red to the right, run where you want to go, and then put red to the left and the other two to the right.
@Milkymalk Yellow is indeed about the level of autonomy. If you put it completely to the right, the agent tends to run off on his own, get in firefights with police and other syndicates. In most cases, you will end up losing the agent, having him upset your plans and/or killing someone that must be kept alive, failing your mission. I'd advise to put it to the right only if self-defence has the highest priority.
@Co19801003 Nice to know. Syndicate is from a time when most games where still a "black box" and the documentation included more flavor than actual description. Players felt like a scientist trying to figure out how the universe worked. Today, you know all the numbers and in-game mechanics of everything, so that feeling has been lost a little.
@Milkymalk Very true! I remember my friends and me being unable to save the game on our PCs until I got the great idea to create a folder called "Save" or "Savegames" or something common at the time - yes, in DOS, with the "md" command ;-) I was a self-proclaimed live-saver then ;-)
The good old days... Although I like having a decent manual with a game I buy, so it was not ALL better back then ;-) I hope you will be able to cherish YOUR memories from those time for year and years! :-)

i don't know either but i think it's for the accuracy and something^^

The bars are the drug level. From the Manual:
ADJUSTING IPA LEVELS
ALL LEVELS TO MAX - AGENT REACTS QUICKLY AND WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF
OPERATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
ADRENALINE TO MAX ONLY - AGENT MOVES QUICKLY BUT YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE
CONTROL OF FIRING AND OTHER RESPONSES.
INTELLIGENCE & PERCEPTION HIGH,ADRENALINE LOW - RESPONSE TIME SLOW,BUT
FIRING ACCURATE.
DARK SEGMENT SHOWS AMOUNT OF DRUG USED.
LEFT-CLICK TO RIGHT OF CENTRE LINE TO INCREASE IPA LEVELS.

@LuminarNightblade Red: left = heals fasterm right = walks faster; blue controls the accuracy, and yellow is about opening fire on his own, I think. I am only certain about the red bar. So turn red to the right, run where you want to go, and then put red to the left and the other two to the right.
