Over the moon to have my game ports/games shown here in this list, it’s a brilliant time to be in the Amiga scene with so many talented people. Absolutely love your channel OSG, always informative and well presented. Great stuff.
Unreal, I can't believe how good the graphics and overall quality of these games is! Sometimes you look back at things you remember fondly from the past and it doesn't live up to how you remembered, but this is like stepping back in time seeing these games! Great list!!
Great honour to see Worthy so high up on your list OSG! I'm glad you liked the game eventually. :D Congrats to all other Amiga game devs as well and thanks for this great video!
Hey thank you for the mention. Means alot you contacted me to help with the list. A cracking list here. There are a few i have not played before, but most I do own and I always try to buy boxed versions if available. I totally forgot about Knightmare, I absolutely love that game. The music is tremendous. Again thanks so much for the mention.
I wish there were more flat polygon graphics games or wireframe vector graphics games like Star Wars or Carrier Command. We just never got to see the real potential of these games, as many 3D gameplay concepts wouldn't be fleshed out until much later with games like Descent and Mario 64. By then, graphics technology had advanced to textured polygons, with much higher polygon counts. But the basic ideas could work with an Amiga "demake" using wireframe graphics or maybe flat polygons.
Great to see Rygar and Reshoot R on your list, an honour to work with both great coders Graeme and Richard. Lots more great Amiga games coming out though so I look forward to next years reviews :).
@@oldstylegaming I created all the maps for Rygar and Graeme and I added an extra map, that was fun. Optimised the gfx for the game also. Reshoot R did all the graphics and we are planning our final shooter called Reshoot Proxima III. Also watch out for "Boss Machine" in 2023 ;) Nearly forgot, helped do some cut scenes for Turbo Tomato, which reminds me I don't think I saw Turbo Sprint from Graeme ;).
This was a class list and had a fair few games i never knew of but that's about to change i think. Great stuff as always buddy and am looking forward to the next video so until then take it easy man.
What makes OnEscapee (pronounced "one escapee", by the way, according to Wikipedia at least) even more impressive is that it was the project of three high school kids! They started when the Amiga was still a popular platform, but it took them six years to complete the work, and PCs took over in the meantime.
I have to say that your gaming videos are among the best on You Tube. You always bring topics that interest me because of the way you present them. You give the right dose of information and your Gaming History knowledge is very good.
Tinybobble is just amazing, so is oneecapee... I seen videos of this before but only mentioned briefly! I'm surprised there was no Hoffman msx metal gear port on here... So hard but so good
Blizt bombers with a couple of friends was a good time although there was a weird glitch with the boxing glove which made bombs invisible when punching them over parts of the stage.
It's great to see the mighty Amiga still having games developed for it so many years after it's 'demise'. You've chosen some class titles here m8, never seen most of em before. OnEscapee and Wasted Dreams look right up my street, gonna check them out, Worthy looks sweet, nice gfx. Tinyus in 6th! wha!? Awesome port! Tiny Bobble is a blinder, so good. There's a few top arcade ports been released, some still in dev what you can maybe feature next time? Jackal, Green Beret, Rick Dangerous remake, Scramble, Wonderboy....Amiga Forever! ;)
Nice list - I think I'd put Tinyus top of the list cos it is soooooo good, but you know me. If you can't shoot stuff until it splodes I'm not interested 😅
Good old Bubble Bobble... next time you play though... be firing and bursting bubbles, dropping down the screen, running around, and jumping = whatever is most appropriate. The umbrella, chewing gum, shoes etc are all triggered by doing this - you should be firing bubbles all the time on the early levels, get those vital bubblegums!
@@oldstylegaming Not obvious though, listen back to your commentary - it sounds like you're talking solely about the TV show and the resulting game - no mention of Konami or MSX at all. It's just an observation, not a dig ! :)
Wow, extremely pleased to see that Rotator made the cut OSG, especially considering the quality of new games being released! BTW, you have an older version of the game there, the final released version had new background graphics and a new scrolling routine that made it less "bouncy". Keep up the good work!
@@oldstylegaming Perhaps a little bit! lol The key is small changes to the rotation speed, just going full speed left/right usually ends in disaster. Also remember the option to pull down to stop the spin, that helps you to regain control and get lined up for your next jump.
very good port of rygar, not my best arcade game of 80s but i liked it. best port x68000 japanese home computer. never came to britain or usa. on its debut well over £1000. nearly perfect port.
Awesome video mate - I reckon I'd like just about every one of those games except Rotator... not even touching that with a pole, that'd drive me right up the wall. :D But great work, loved this vid.
Payback No.1 for me, but I was running it on PPC. Odd and frustratiing that many years later on the same machine I can't get it to run without an immediate crash!
And several others including the first place game are coded in C. Not sure if there are any Scorpion Engine, RedPill or Backbone games in the list but it wouldn't suprise me. It's great there are so many choices of tools to make more Amiga games!
Ill defo check that out Larry i use lunapic but the transparent was crap on these two pictures so had to use the eraser tool...which on a laptop touch pad is a nightmare
@@oldstylegaming I could imagine, I hate cutting out images. but remove (dot) bg is great. it even has a sister site to let you cut out people in videos!
Aw man thats class i wish i had that last night... when i watched the video back i wasnt happy with that bit when bill and jamie cut outs came in... ffs that was so easy...thanks mate
@@oldstylegaming I want the code so I can put it in my own games...but he'll most properly use assembler anyway..even the sin/cos equation would do.is he on RU-vid?
All the shooters and platformers, which I find incredibly boring and childish... were no (fantasy) role playing games released? What about driving simulations? Strategies? Logic games? Anything but going around and shooting?
You should exclude “unofficial ports” and only include original games the next time. Maybe they are labors of love and had hours of coding which few people can do, but they are stealing someone else’s work and also stealing a spot on these lists to true creators. Sorry, but that’s how I see it.
Nah i dont get that to be honest, a game is a game, lets face it most of these games even if they arent remakes of games can be said to have taken aspects from other games as most ideas have already been done. Personally i love that people remake games and give us what we should have had originally
So when people make ports, that doesn't mean they have a labour of love for the games they are making or porting? That makes this much logical sense... Take a dozen eggs... Eat six Throw the other six in the trash and What's left in the carton is how much logical sense that makes
