Amiga - Datastorm

The Amiga's souped-up version of Defender and Drop Zone -- Datastorm!

This is my all-time favourite Amiga game. I've recently started playing it again on an A1200 :D

But wave 75+ ??! Im lucky if I can get past wave 12!

I too got this with my A500+ as part of a 10-pack of games...this was the "Cartoon Classics" bundle.

They just dont make decent games anymore; certainly none that come even close to Datastorm!

MY FAVOURITE GAME EVER. Can you get this anywhere now? I spent hours on this and would love to do it again.

was that the one with captain planet?? i remember lemmings was one of my favourite games.. just cant get the same enjoyment from games now...

Did you know that Søren Grønbech who did the programming for Datastorm (and Sword of Sodan, btw) wrote it entirely in assembly language (23,000 lines of code in total)? :)

Am I? Ok thanks.

developers make loads of decent modern games, ive been playing games since the 80s and i personally think most modern games are way better than retro games, your just too hooked on your childhood to realise that

all you have to do is type it into google and you get the answer to that ridiculous question

Best game ever!!! can it not be played online? spent hours playing this and i got really good! broke my amiga but think i still have the game.

It better end at 200 lol! I wish it told you how many lives you have cos i could see if it's goin down cos if it's gonna go on forever i may be better off just switching it off =/

[MrClaveen]

oh it gets harder! Just more stuff! The amount of eggs and blue things i get now is INSANE. But yeah most things have stopped getting harder. They should have like 4 UFOs and 3 skulls at the same time or something lol. Cos the problem is it now gives me so many bombs and lives that it replenishes the ones that i use up, cos there's so much stuff!

[MrClaveen]

i dug out my copy of this and it still works!! Anyway i've just been playing and god knows how but im now up to level 165 :s

**does any one know what level it goes up to or does it go on forever??** It keeps giving me too many lives....
