KEEP PLAYING: Rewind - Amiga Memories

Welcome back to KEEP PLAYING Rewind - Bringing Back the Past One Game at a Time!

For this episode I did something very spur-of-the-moment and special in the form of a look at my own personal past, as I dig up games for the Commodore Amiga from over 15 years ago! Take a stroll down memory lane with me as I look at games I'd thought lost forever!

I traded my Megadrive for an Amiga 500+ somewhere around 1992 (and re-bought it later on). Great memories. Some of the greatest game music!! Great titles you got there. There were so many other cool games that I .....can't remember :) I do remember Moonstone however. And Heimdall and Midnight Resistance *slips into nostalgia*

@HLGFreeman I keep hearing about Moonstone. Apparently I have to play it! Heimdall I originally thought could have been what ended up being Myth, simply because it had the Norse theme I remember from Myth.

Very cool choice for a review!

I really think your opening statements about being a lifelong gamer were spot-on and well said; I've been a gamer for 30 years now, and I know just what you mean when you speak of fading (and sometimes recurring) memories.

At any rate, very nice job on the review as always, Sindra.

@Skyrift Thanks, Sky. Always appreciated.

I seriously couldn't believe I found these games after 15+ years, though. I only have snippets of memory, too. This was an accomplishment on my part.

There should still be some unused new in the box Amiga 1200's still being sold from a company in France, England and I think also Canada called AmigaKit. They were Amiga's that were never sold after Commodore and Escom went bust.

@Mexicanwaluigi The Amiga was massively popular right across Europe, the UK and Australia with at least 5000 games produced for it. Yes the Atari and Apple were popular but so was the Amiga, just not in America.

After that, install a program called WHDLoad and you'll have your disposal at least 2000 Amiga games that you can run from the Hard Drive including Turrican 2 :)

If you have the money, get hold of an Amiga 1200 with at least 4 meg of extra ram mimimum, a internal HD for it, CD drive and an install of Classic Workbench for its OS

I had to watch this video again, it's brilliant and i love your commentary on the Amiga :) You know you're a true gamer when you have bridged the gap with such an alternative system. Massive respect from Australia :)

If you neef any extra info on this to get you started then join a forum called English Amiga Board. Enjoy ;)

Great video :) buy an Amiga 1200 with a HD, Accelerator and at least 4MB of extra ram then do a search for WHDLoad :)
