[5 Best pre 1988 game's overall???]

Ports of Call

Mission Impossible

Bubble Bobble (brilliant game)

Ghouls 'n' Ghosts

Farey Tale Adventure

 

 

 

 

(Although I'm tempted to through in TV Sports Basketball, a very under rated game, and The Three Stooges (Cinemaware / Mindscape) was also under rated )

 

Oh yeah the Bards Tale was boring even compared to Ports of Call.

[The Amiga Versus Atari St War]

Atari St was for music, some games where ported from amiga,

but amiga was the best gaming machine, who had money for a nintendo/sega?

There where turbo cards for the last amiga machines, they could already beat the falcon .

Sad that there is nothing for Amiga games like GB64 for the C64, we have hol and bttr, thats fine, but an offline list with all Info and screenshots would rock.

I have to agree. That built in midi port made the ST an easy winner. I still know of them in studio's kicking about for this purpose. There was a time in the late 80's where every band with a keyboard had to have one. Not to say the Amiga wasn't good at it, it was just as capable for the most part, but it was centre stage on the ST.

 

An Amiga 2000 came with a 68000 and a meg of ram, but you could expand just about every aspect of it. Most people I knew ran them with 020 or 030 and with substantially more ram. This made them useful for video production and they received a cult status in this realm.

 

Personally I think the Amiga was superior in most aspects. It was more expandable and had more expansions. Its OS was more flexible and I thought more friendly to use. I thought the updates to the graphics chips also made the Amiga have a longer life span for general use.

 

The ST in the end might win out on longevity. Not to many A500 1megs still in service, I have seen a 1040ST in use in the last 12 months.
