- Good grief. It`s really AT`s fault for packaging such lame games with the
- Amiga. Someting like Odyssey and Colonization would have been a better choice
- instead of the completely anonymous and, worse, crap games that are currently
- bundled with the magic pack. Do we get the feeling that *anyone* who has known
- the Amiga for as long as many of us have would have guessed that such twee
- games wouldn`t catch the notice of many existing Amigans...
-
- My choices (any two from):
- Odyssey (good platform/swordfighter/puzzling)
- Alien Breed 2 (The last of the overhead Alien Breeds, a good game)
- Colonization ( A recognisable PC conversion, and just out on the Mac too!)
- TFX (OK, would have been better for high er specced Amigas as standard, but
- anothr recognisable PC conversion)
-
- The price was too high, and the software didn`t soften the blow to a great
- extent because a hard drive was really necessary for the Amiga after it`s
- re-launch, especially if the price was going to be 399UK pounds.
