I had an Amiga 500+ and some of the older titles wouldn't work for me. Did the same issue exist for the Amiga 1200 ?

@dark1ankh It does but I haven't come across any that wouldn't work and I've well over a thousand games to try :s You can get round it by using a bit of software called Relokick which forces the A1200 to boot an older version of the Amiga OS.

It's amazing how timeless the game is; it's great fun chaining cascading rainbows and red starbursts for huge combos and massive bonuses, and there are sone nice little tricks you can do such as "stacking" rainbows on top of one another for massive boss damage. If it weren't for the fact that I'm rubbish at Amiga emulation I'd suggest that this would make a nice score challenge... :D

@qazimod You know the answer ot that? Buy an Amiga :p

I agree that this is one of the best Arcade conversions ever, every one i've played since has either excluded the music or just botched something else along the way.

So many great memories : )

Awesome vid.

Man, I remember those stinkin' spiders. Spent a LOT of my childhood on the C64 version of this...think I got about halfway through it back in the day.

Really nice conversion. I've never played the Amiga version but it looks great!

@Lorfarius Well its available on jap but wasn't released in the uk. Ians done a review on his channel I think.

@Lorfarius Will do, and thanks. :)

@starlac Adaptor will work just fine on an A600. If you have a look at Retrosofer channel he has a guide vid for the right adaptor.
