The actor plays the part of Lester Knight Chaykin, a young physics researcher. These days, I see the errors of my ways…Īlso known as Out Of This World™ and released across more than a dozen platforms since its 1991 debut, Another World™ has attained cult status among critics and sophisticated gamers alike for its cinematic effects in the graphics, sound and cut scenes.
Launching originally in 1991, Alien Breed has now been remade for Android which can only mean one thing… it’s time to turn down the lights, turn up the sounds and encounter Alien Breed again!īelieve it or not, I never quite got into Alien Breed back in the day. If you’re looking for some Kick Off action, check it out.Īlien Breed is the classic sci-fi, top-down shooter developed by Team17. Aftertouch Soccer is one that attempts to recreate the experience on the Android platform. Although there’s no official port to Android, there are a few similar games out there.
In my early Amiga years, the Kick Off series of games kept me and my friends entertained for hours upon hours. However, CAPCOM has also published an official version that you can have for just a buck. Thankfully, getting your fill of these kind of games isn’t difficult. The concept is simple: fly your planes through waves of enemy fighters. The descriptions are directly from Google Play and the comments in italics are my comments about the games based on my memories of them.ġ942 is one of those classic shoot’em up games that I remember spending many hours with.

So, I thought it would be fun to take a look and see how many classic Amiga games are actually available on the Android platform and whether they are just ports or remakes that takes advantage of modern hardware. Cinemaware is one example of a company busy doing that. Although emulated gaming works pretty well, assuming you have a legal Amiga ROM (Amiga Forever is a good legal source) I also have discovered over time that more and more classic Amiga games are being either ported or remade for other platforms. On many other occasions I have explored the Amiga emulators available for Android as a means of reliving the past days of gaming glory.
and the early Atari machines came out in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I knew the Commodore line of computers quite well…and the documentary made me want to explore that era once again. As fascinating as the documentary was (available on Netflix), it really made me think about the games I used to play growing up. Games by Atari, rumored to have been buried in a landfill. It was therefore with interested that I recently watch the documentary that was produced in conjunction with the search for the last E.T. Growing up during a time when computers like the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 reigned supreme, I have always had a fondness for the old school games of the 80’s and 90’s, for games produced on limited hardware where the option of adding another gigabyte of memory was not an option.
