 This is boogie boy come to papa. I'm actually normally used to play in the Amstrad CPC version And on the rare occasions the arcade The arcade version was absolutely amazing. It still is There's also a widescreen version available where you can play over multiple monitors if you've got the cache and definitely splash out on that It's a real thing of beauty to experience and play despite being highly illegal do so But it uses main and other emulation technology Anyways back to boogie boy for the Amiga thing. I was actually given an Amiga 500 a few years back And I played around with it But nothing too serious at the time as I didn't have many games for it and a heck of a lot of time but recently I thought sod it and Purchase a few games during lockdown for it and Thought I'd give it a thrashing The reality is I've not been able to put the Amiga down since there's so many good games I've played already, but there's still piles. I've got still piles of games that I'd like to get through visually this boogie boy on the Amiga is Definitely better than the Amstrad 64 versions and the fact that the Amiga is a 16 bit Computer, you know the clues are there Although I find this version highly playable I still can't decide if I prefer this more than the Commodore 64 or Amstrad CPC version And that's not altogether a bad thing. I Like the Commodore 64 version a heck of a lot. It runs just as fast as the Amiga probably a little bit more I'm not sure But I guess it really all comes down to personal preference Some people prefer the better graphics the higher res Some people might prefer the sounds and music of the Commodore 64 So it really is anybody's A point I'd like to make about this in comparison to the arcade version and the 8 bits as well If you watch the or play the arcade version of boogie boy What you'll notice straight away. You're up against other vehicles other cars It might be like outrun in the sense that you're racing to the finish line But in the Amiga being a 16 bit version as well I think you have to mark it down a little bit because it should have included the cars now If it does and I'm missing something then let me know in the comments There's also five stages to this game. You've got off-road north east west and south The off-road course just went around back to the start where the others you've got to actually Complete all the stages There's all sorts of bonuses in this game. You've got the colored flags Which give you 30 points you get 1,000 bonus points if you collect all the flags in there in the certain order That's highlighted at the top of the screen The different gates give you 150 or 500 points and then there's the part where you drive through the time gate to get more To notch more seconds on the clock You get 2,000 points if you hit the football you get that in the Commodore 64 and the other 8 bit versions as well Strangely though the sound when you hit the ball in the Amiga version Really poultry when compared to the 8 bits you come across all sorts of graphics the bridges tunnels But as you can see there's all sorts of obstacles boulders Fences sticks on the ground They will all take away your valuable time that you need to cross the finish line Then there's the old Dukes of hazard move where if you hit a stone or a little brick you go up on two wheels That's really cool Now I know this isn't true for the Amiga version, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be But the arcade version of Boogie Boy appears in the book 1001 video games you must play before you die by the general editor Tony Mott And that's pretty impressive ace computer magazine in 1998 included Boogie Boy in the top 100 list Amiga power in 1991 they positioned it as the 78th of all time in their top 100 Amiga games Commodore Force in 1993 according to a readers top 100 it came 94 so that's bloody good and Commodore former Issue for listed in the 80s Ed of classic games article and said it was a great game What I find unbelievable is the Atari ST version Apparently allegedly Had better sound than the Amiga So I'm going to need to check that out at some point and see if that's the case or not But that was reported by the games machine in 88 What's also interesting is that in 98 Gave the Amiga version 90% and they stated a very accurate conversion with highly addictive qualities and must for fans of the racing genre So I've had a play through I've had a think about it and I'm going to give this a solid 8 out of 10 So I'll leave it there and thanks for watching again Please don't forget to subscribe if you want to see more content.
