The other day I was surfing youtube when I came across footage of an old school game that i used to thrash (stuntcar racer) it brought back wicked memories of when I had an Amiga 500, so I spent all night watching clips of games that I used to play way back in the day and even by today standards the game play on so of these games were awesome!!!!
So I thought Id post up a couple of clips as no doubt some of the older guys round here will start having flashbacks of days gone by and maybe share a story or two of what games they played and maybe there favorites.
I had hundreds of games but my favorites had to be.........
Worms
Skidmarks
North and South
It came from the desert
Speedball 2
Supercars 2
Kick off
Street rod 2
Just to name a few.
Funny thing is after having these flash backs I went looking for my machine at my ma and pa's place and found it there with all my games joysticks & pads etc etc only thing that I no longer have is the monitor... Soooo happy!! If anyone has an old amiga monitor they no longer need let me know

Re: FLASH BACK...........
Worms was an alltime favourite of mine
As well as Team Buddies and Hogs of War on PS1
Demolition Man on Sega stole a bit of my time, as well as the usuals, Sonic etc.

Re: FLASH BACK...........
Can't remember the name of my favourite chopper sim...but I remember the intro movie word for word...
President: "Things are getting desperate"
Defence Advisor: "Yes sir"
President: "Is the equipment ready?"
Defence Advisor: "Final preparations are in progress sir"
President: "Is the team assembled?"
Defence Advisor: "Yes sir! Jack Marshall's the chief tactician"
President: "And the pilot?"
Defence Advisor: "One of our finest sir"
<cue majestic music and footage of an attack chopper unleashing hell on some poor buggers>
Ring a bell for anyone?
EDIT: Found it! It was Thunderhawk
My memory wasn't QUITE word perfect, but pretty close. Not bad for 15 year old memories haha.
