Title: Bonk for the Amiga
Post by: jeffhlewis on 05/04/2014, 01:06 PM
This guy on eBay is auctioning off the most insane collection of PC, Amiga, MSX and Sharp games - amongst them was this guy:

Never knew it had an Amiga port; figured someone here might get a kick out of it.

Yeah, its supposed to be a good solid port. A gem among all the euro trash that plagued the Amiga.

I had a friend in high school who had an Amiga and kept showing me all these amazing graphical demos made by coding groups in Europe.  Visually, they all were very impressive, but the games he had for the system never matched the demos and musical score of these graphic demos he had.  Most of the games were rather one dimensional or shitty ports of old arcade games.  The only game that really stuck out to me was Shadow of the Beast, only because the music was cool and the parallax scrolling in the first zone.

I enjoyed BC Kid on the Amiga. Being quite young at the time and not having access to a PC Engine it was awesome. I remember looking at the PC Engine pics and imagining how cool it would be to actually play and the Amiga version filled that gap...until I played the PCE version.
