Exile Amiga

STORY: The player takes the role of Mike Finn, a leading member of a space-exploration organisation called Columbus Force, who has been ordered to the planet Phoebus as part of a rescue mission. Finn is tasked with abetting Commander David Sprake and the surviving crew of the disabled Pericles ship from a psychotic renegade genetic engineer, Triax (the Exile of the game's title), who appears briefly at the very start of the game removing a vital piece of equipment called a Destinator from Mike's ship, the Perseus. As with Elite, a novella (written by Mark Cullen, with input from the game's authors) was included to set up the story, and to provide some clues as to the nature of the planet Phoebus' environment.

GAME MECHANICS: The game contains other characters to interact with as well as a physics model with gravity, inertia, mass, explosions, shockwaves, water, earth, wind, and fire. Energy is required to power the weapons and jetpack system, and needs to be collected throughout the game. Finn cannot die: when he reaches a point near death he is automatically teleported to safe locations previously reached and designated by the player, and ultimately back to his orbiting spaceship: consequently in many cases it is still possible to complete the game.

Very immersive game. I only had the demo from Amiga Format.

I used to fill my pockets with 'delightful little frogs'.

Saturdays as a 12 year old. Not a care in the world!

Even Speccy could do this sort of game. Why should I trouble myself with that fat PC keyboard lookalike labeled amiga, jack of all trades, overpriced, and nothing done right...

I bought Amiga Forever (Best $10 spent i a long time) and this came with it. Worth he price of admission alone

I had the demo of this on the C64. Fuckin' loved it, very difficult & quite random but a fanny-tastic little gem of a game. Just having the freedom to fly anywhere was quite a big deal back then. Could never find the full game anywhere though!

One of the best games of all time. I got many weeks of entertainment from the ECS Amiga version. Strangely enough, the whole suicide-grenading tactic was something that never ever crossed my mind, yet would've made parts of the game so much easier :D

I haven't searched very hard, but I know that one ADF version of the game wasn't cracked properly and key items (like the flask and RCD at the start of the game) would randomly disappear... this game had quite efficient copy protection for the time

addictive game!! Just downloaded it for the winUAE and still just as addictive.

[Bombastic0013]

Simply one of the best game I played in my life! I was totally addict... =D
