Hello people,

There are probably more games but the first example that came to my mind was Cannon Fodder.
Great game.

When I developed the knack of hitting the killer shot in Sensi Soccer.
Close second, the face on my mate when I kept using it against him repeatedly.
Close third the look of joy on the rest of the lads who he had been lording it over, until I kept using the shot against him and kicking his arse.
Absolutely brilliant.
When you are tired of getting one over on your mates, you are tired of life.

Happy days.

Dynablaster with the 4-player adapter was brilliant! All night trying to kill each other.

Dynablasters was brilliant. I was a big fan of the SNES Bomberman games at the time, but didn't own a SNES, so when this Amiga game came out I was so happy.

Wasn't Dynablasters also created by Hudsonsoft? I remember two games similar to bomberman appeared on the Amiga. There was one game that was official and another that wasn't and got sued.

I don't know who created that game. All I know was that there was a 4-player adaptor in the package that was connected to the parallel port and allowed two extra joystick be connected to your Amiga. I think we might have played it with 5 persons and one player controlled his character by the keyboard.

Yep, Dynablaster and Bomberman were one and the same (i had dynablaster on the old school gameboy).

There was a bomberman clone called Masterblaster that I had from an AP coverdisk. Awesome version with a great 'superman' powerup that allowed you to push soft-blocks to escape, or even better crush, an opponent.

Also the PD game atom smasher had the sprites ripped from dynablaster. They got in trouble too I believe.

Ah, Masterblaster. That was the one! They initially tried to release it as a commercial game but Hudsonsoft threatened to sue them, so they just released it into the public domain instead.

For me it was the moment i finally unplugged the konix speedking joystick from the c64 plugged it in the amiga booted it up for the first time and played Hostages not the best game ever but it just seemed so awesome at the time, busting through the window and popping a cap in the hostages head amazing.

Of course there are so many other good moments like finally admitting to myself that kick off was dead when sensible soccer came around, getting beat by my Dad at zany golf, the outstanding music that came with games like Xenon 2 and the hilarious animation that came up on the version of Ivan Ironman Stewarts super off road racer.

Magic moments that will live forever in my memory.
