FIRST, I Want to say like to say I LIKE RunningSnakes for what he said, and like him:
The AMIGA UAE on WII is outstanding because is MUCH Easier to use than UAE on PC that hasn't got the same Ergonomy, the ERGONOMY of this Emulator on PC has ALWAYS BEEN SHIT, compared it to the wii AMIGA EMU!!
THE DEV OF UAE SHOULD TAKE IN CONSIDERATION WHAT THE DEV OF THIS EMU DID, because they have something blocked somewhere toward simplicity, I Still think the pc version of UAE is not a good feeling as it should be.
Also, I must say, AMIGA had some ergonomy issue with joystick and the copies of games and many other things, it was often a pain in the neck like there was many problem with the ATARI ST too but we had to go through them! A bit like the WIIU had many problematic Ergonomic and questionnable points! ^^
Also, I'm understand the point of view, and like Tetsuo I mostly agree with Runningsnakes on a somes points.
Thing is, mostly, at that Time, many had an Amiga, and were ATTACHED to it!! IT's simple, many people had a lot of pirated games and could play it!!! Whereas it wasn't the case on NES or MASTER SYSTEM, people could have had those consoles at around the same time, but games prices were VERY High!!! I Doubt a standard kid would have had more than 20 Games at that time considering the prices, also, people were using their game AND EXPLORING it to the END!!!! IT wasn't BINGE VIDEO GAME Watching like TODAY!!! You had to be amaze to what you were seen because their was nothing else, you hadn't much choice of video game to play like today!!
I think you are less age than a couple of us, RunningSnakes, so that's why you were less Attached to your amiga than some of us responding to you , question of time, many that loved the Amiga Are around age More than 45 Now
All considered, only a few games remain, some exclusives:
Hired GUN, FLOOD, Populous 1&2, Shadow of the Beast I&II&III, Dungeon Master, Supercars 2, Apydia, PRoject X, HYBRIS, Silkworm, ring of medusa, bloodmoney, Nebulus, Legend of Faerghail, Captive, Sensible world of soccer and my FAVORITE OF ALL MULTIPLAYER GAME: BOMBERMAN (with 4 Players ADAPTER) Were JEWELS at that time and still are
I've played many games on it, and some games are still not as good on PC nowadays!!
Also, some DEV have developed recently quite interesting games on it (SolomonsKey2, The "New" Rygar, the "new" TinyGradius!
On the POINT&CLICK adventure Game, I think you're right they were "almost" all bad on AMIGA, with HORRIBLE Loading time, the Pc was King for this I must Admit.
I would compare the Amiga to consoles but more to WHAT THE PC WAS AT THAT TIME, OF COURSE!!
"except maybe for Arcade games ported by US Gold"
=> US GOLD People Should be ASHAMED Reading THIS!! Sooo True!
RunningSnakes VS CRASHMIDNICK, no need to have kinda fight, you are both right ;-)
Running, don't forget, many are more "nostalgic" than you are and knew the amiga system better....This variable has a bit scrambled your omni radar conclusive mind device, nostalgia isn't a crime, but I understand your overall conclusion.
The Sega/Nintendo legacy is amazing on both side, it's more "users related" on the Amiga.
@CrashMidnick: Thanks!! I Didn't remember of Videokid!!! Ninja Spirit was better on the atari ST to me, arcade version is underrated like Dragon Breed. Like you, I owned many consoles, and I do like all like youl.Sometimes, we must admit some systems had drawbacks even at the time, even I loved my A500 and A1200 (which wasn't even fully compatible of backward compatible like the PS5 should have been with all PS XX). You remind me Luffy with the Queen Merry, makes you loyal ^^
@Maeson Yes, for me too, Wizardry: The Tale of the Forsaken Town (PS2) is one of the best dungeon crawler yet, and we don't even find anything as good nowadays? What a joke!! I like the mystery, I like this better than Zelda, question of taste I suppose, This was gaming for me!
