An awesome machine for its time. I had an A1200, with an extra floppy drive.

Post by: Adrena1in on 15 May 2013, 21:54
On the Amiga, I probably spent more time playing Elite than anything else, ever.  Also played Virus and Dungeon Master to death.

At the Arcade is was Gauntlet all the way, where I could make a 10p game last indefinitely.  Loved R-Type as well, but wasn't so good at it.

Age of Empires on the PC was very engrossing.

I sure did. Back in those days there wasn't this fancy broadband inter-web. There were BBS boards but that was way over my head. If you look carefully you can see a couple of graphics cards in there. A Creative Labs Voodoo2 and Geforce 2. Ah the early days of 3d accelerated gaming.

I have Microprose's Gunship on 5.25" floppies kickin around somewhere.

C&C3 was top notch too, probably the best one.  C&C4 dropped the ball hard though, utter crap.  As a result I moved over to Starcraft 2 which is closer to a club than an entertainment media you relax after work.
