Great site, ta for the link.

I just downloaded Blood Money from here - and had it running perfectly on Win7 64 bit. Although the simulated loading times were a bit of a pain..! Was nice to see the graphics again - although I had it on Atari ST, not Amiga. Not a lot of difference graphics wise from what I remember (apart from the rather pointless intro). Sadly I was far better at playing it 20 years ago than now.

And thanks for this link too - I found Mario Kart Super Circuit from the Game Boy Advance and played that for an hour yesterday...superb, just as I remember it.

I guess you are using WinUAE? You can turn off the floppy disk real time emulation and make it as fast as possible. This may cause side effects in some games but usually most run fine.

Thanks. The download was a wrapped version of the BM Rom with WinUAE, yes. I'll check that out - the .bat file ran BM straight off but getting into the emulator was easy (F12).

To be honest, I did miss the creepy ST chip music soundtrack - the Amiga one is totally different (and more polished obviously bearing in mind the better sound hardware).

Don't think this one has been mentioned, but I really enjoyed it:

Meg-lo-mania

I would list mine but as an ST user I don't want to get told to bog off...

Ah, with you on that one. Never managed to finish it though, that's just given me a reason to get an emulator up and running...

I had one of those (on my ST). It was horrible, so big and clunky. Not good for footy games, too imprecise. But hugely popular at the time.

Didn't Amiga Power give this away as a free game in their final ever issue?

Gah this thread is making me want to get an Ouya so I can replay some of these games!

The lack of Giana Sisters mentions on here is depressing. Ultimate Mario clone.

I remember as a kid we had an Amiga from before I was born, then before I got the first Playstation it was all mine. Countless hours spent on GS, Sensi, Nigel Mansell's Championship year, WWF and so on. Loved the Amiga.

Got Skidmarks brand new from a shop and it didn't actually work properly so it'll forever be tainted to me.

Was more of an 8-bit title that.

Dunno.
Unbelievable, listen to the floppy.

A great game - there WAS a port called giga-lo-mania touted for modern devices but things seem to have stalled.........

I recently lost some time to K240. Works perfectly on WinUAE emulator.

It's the sound effects in these old games that really take me back.
