Awh damn. I have this game on CD-Rom somewhere around here. I could never configure the sound card correctly and after hearing how awesome this game sounds I'm going to try again.
Interesting, that this came out only a few months before System Shock, yet the graphics and interface were so poor. And the loading time… oh, the loading…
Apparently still a great game. But I, for one, go with System Shock.
A lot of brown pants moments playing this!! I used to connect my amiga to my HI-FI and the audio was out of this world, by the time standards! Just awesome!
Oh man, haven't seen this for 17 years! My brother and I used to play split-teams and it was brilliant (except for when he shot me in the back). The sound effects really got me after all this time; the bubbling water, that amazing chain-gun, the blocks moving...especially that terrifying noise of crunching gravel! A beautifully presented game - it really was exciting to see how much effort went into it.
Me too... I remember spending the weekend playing this from start to finish on my Amiga A1200 with my brother. It was a lot less hassle installed on the Hard Drive and we had two mice in two player mode. This game may look dated by today's standards, but it was scary as hell back in those days!
Played it on A1200, completed it - twice LOL. Loved it. Wish there was a sequel. There was one due to come out on PC, I saw screenshots and a preview but it was never released. If anyone knows of a released sequel we'd all love to know about it. Same with Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, I really need a sequel. LOL. Anyone know?! Cheers, Alistair G.
The sequel was available online for quite a while if you took the time to search for it, it was not a retail build, but still in a fairly complete state, more complete than 'some' retail builds I've seen!
It really had very few similarities to the original, and would have been a cpmplete flop if released in my opinion.
@dunique No problem mate, I've accidently done it myslef many times! lol
But yeah, Hired Guns was way ahead of it's time. Captive & Liberation: Captive 2, were two similar games on the Amiga, also very good also, especially Liberation, which was very much like Deus Ex - long before Deus Ex was even thought of - in my opinion. Same goes for Corporation, yet another game way ahead of it's time. Sorry, I'm went off on one of my dewy-eyed nostalgic ramblings there! :-D
Another great Amiga game, if you have it please post a vid, is "It Came From the Desert". OMG the giant ants and escaping from the hospital. I LOVE THAT GAME!
It's loaded from an emulator. And thank you SO much for the flash back. My friend's brother and I used to play that all the time. Never could beat it though because something was wrong with one of the last loading areas. It would guru on us all the time.
A top notch Amiga Game....it's what the Nintendo DS was born to run, 4 way split or wifi co-op...but never will sadly. And Dungeon Master.
I'm buggered If I can remember, a similar game.. had a sort of death metal vocal intro, and you could jack into pc's as you moved around the worlds cities single POV, and hawkwindish type music...not B.A.T. but similar???
The Nintendo DS idea - stunning concept. So not bothered about buying one but that is genius. You could have 4 like minded people in any situation for at least 30 minutes and it would so work. Can you get this on an emulator for the Mac?
It was my favorite game and thanks to amigaforever it is once again on pc now!I remember I had completed without saving at all...the old good days...!!Awesome Atmosphere,you could be leaving you brain there for long...
I must be getting old because I don't think I'd be able to figure out how to play this game now! I used to play the demo all the time...could never find the full game. :(
It's funny how you suddenly remember these levels and how the corridors and tunnels turned when you watch it again, even though it was close to 15 years since I played it last. Outstanding quality game.
Watching that video still gives me the willies. It was terribly creepy listening to doors opening and closing with none of your team moving. You just knew it was a monster coming after you!
this would be a wicked game to port over to tablets...
