Do any of you remember doing the Chip RAM mod where you cut a trace on the motherboard (I think near the Fat Agnus chip) and resoldered another to get 1MB of Chip RAM. Man that was waaay before these youngin's and their silly overclocking fad. I had my 500 pimpin though, there was another RAM card where you could get 4MB of RAM by adding a daughterboard into the Gary chip's socket. I could only afford to get 1.5 MB of RAM in mine though.
I had a few games, Defender of the Crown, Shadow of the Beast I & II, Test Drive II ("Accolade presents...vrooom vrooom") and few more I can't remember. I should go dig out my old games from my parents attic.

Back in the day, it wasn't Intel vs. AMD or ATI vs. nVidia...naw it was Amiga vs. the Apple IIgs and no one even thought to compare either of those against the pathetic IBM PCs of the day. "Oh yeah, like your 4bit CGA can compare to 4096 HAM mode on the Amiga...phsssh"

mmmm....fat agnus...

mmmm.

good times man, good times.

Google WinUAE - play all your old Amiga games at full speed on your PC!
You can even use a USB PS2-style controller, and run fullscreen. It's great :heart:

Thanks, just for you --> :beer:

I forgot about the flicker thing. Wasn't there a "flicker fixer" product on the market to fix that too? I'm almost scared to google that term...

I remember when I brought my first A500 home with the game Denaris. I yanked my C64 and Nintendo out of the way and plugged it into the TV and ran the audio over to the stereo. The game booted up with a starscape and then a voice annouced in stereo... "Welcome to Denaris". Wow, that just blew me away.

Denaris
Shadow of the Beast
Dragons Lair
Pirates!
Gauntlet 2
Lemmings


..
Its funny that this came up now. I downloaded a new rev of a C64 emulator the other day and I've been going back playing all of the old classics from when I was little... Archon, Blue Max, Bards Tale, Impossible Mission, Phantasie, Pitfall, Pitstop, Spy Hunter, Super Zaxxon, etc...

I figured when I was done with all of those, I'd go download the latest rev of UAE and revisit all of my old Amiga games. Shame that my A3000 is dead. ROM tower broke.

What was the game where you had players in a top down view of a sports arena...players were heavily padded with spikes and armor...the arena was very metalic colored.

It was very much like hockey/soccer where you threw and passed a small ball into a goal. My and my buds would play that for hours...

steelball?
psychoball?
deathball?

My uncle had damn near every Amiga/Commodore system. From a VIC20 to an A4000. Great systems. Megaball, Silent Service & Charr. Those were "THE" games. Great great stuff. Definitely have to get myself an A3000 or A4000 eventually.

ZOMG Speedball! YES!!!

My friend and I used to play this tank game called Firepower for hours on end. I still remember how the little people would come out when you blew up buildings and they looked like little nerds (the candy). You could run them over with your tank and it would leave splat marks on the ground.

apparently there is a speedball 2100 our for playstation. going to be picking this up.
