Amiga 500/Clone Wars/Bourne Conspiracy.
Quantum’s back! And this week he bought a friend; the Amiga 500.
Continuing our platform focused episodes, this week we’re discussing the home gaming computers popularised in the late 80′s and early 90′s by machines like the Atari ST and the Amiga 500. This is a shadowy subject for Alex who hopped straight into consoles, but Tony Atkins and Tony Edwards both had one and reminisce about what it was like to play the first installments of some surprisingly long-lived gaming franchises. The impact of these machines on gaming was subtle but undeniably important as they paved the way to advanced gaming PC’s able to play Doom.
Also discussed are the new Star wars animated movie; The Clone Wars, The Bourne Conspiracy gets a 360 review and Tony Atkins talks about the pub games for Fable 2.
Alex mentions TWO top ten lists but only mentions one. The other one is the top ten Amiga/ST games ever and it’s reprinted for you here in no particular order;
10. Syndicate
9. Cannon Fodder
8. Rainbow Islands
7. Sensible Soccer
6. Worms
5. Kick Off
4. Lemmings
3. Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
