    Default Can anyone help me with my search?

    Hey all,

    This isn't really relevant to ExRM, or even any Total War game, but I'm on the hunt for a really old game I used to play during my early childhood. I'm after a simple to used Amiga 500 emulator and a download link for Paradroid 90.

    The main thread I've posted is located here, and also there's a few gameplay videos on Youtube, of which this is a good example of what I'm after

    Much love

    I think someone found it for you, man.

    Code:
    I used to play on the Amiga 500. Yes, it is that old.
    Bah, that's not that old I cut my teeth on games like this and this. CA, that game does look good though - it's the kind of thing Flash remakes are available for.

    It was designed for a machine 4 years older than I am. My brother found an emulator in the end, so it's all good and we have the original version on the go now

    I'll try to get the details off him and I'll post them up here if anyone would be interested?

    It's probably my ultimate nostalgia game to be honest, it's great fun

    The games you posted up look pretty good too!

    Heehee, I played Repton during my lunchbreak today! Nostalgia is good (usually), M2TW is the only game I play that is since 2004. You just get used to playing older games that are more fun. Emulators are great for stuff like this, glad you got one for the Amiga-500.

    By the way, Elite was the first 3d space-flight sim, it was released in 1984 and was written in 32kb on a 1MHz CPU. As a result, they couldn't have planar graphics, so the spaceships are wire-frame. It led to games such as Eve Online, Freelancer, Wing Commander, and so on.

    I remember Freelancer, that was awesome. But the game that really kicked 3d space games of their relatively obscure butt was Homeworld. Oh, those days.

    On a side note: I'm 17 years old and being nostalgic! Wtf!

    Homeworld rocks. It's amazing. Probably one of my all time favourite games
