I absolutely LOVED this game on the Amiga...

I was a huge fan of the Amiga - it was vastly ahead of its time. This post reminded me of the other outstanding games for the Amiga - many CinemaWare games such as It Came from the Desert (based on 1950's horror movies - in this one giant ants begin attacking a small desert town). There was also a great Feudal Japan game - Lord of the Rising Sun.

And let's not forget arguably the most popular title of all time on the Amiga - Psygnosis' Lemmings. I cannot begin to estimate the countless hours I spent playing that game. Also, Lemmings - like so many other Amiga-originated titles - was lightyears better in graphics, speed, and playability when compared to their PC counterparts.

Incidentally, I still have an original Psygnosis owl-head button, which was the face of their logo.

Thanks for the memories!
