Hunter on the Amiga

[TimEG]

Now is it me or is this the best game ever?? Well ahead of its time!

Is there anything like this available or planned for the PC?? I can't help thinking current PC specs would facilitate an amazing hunter clone! The only thing I could find was S.T.A.L.K.E.R which kinda looks similar.

I very much doubt that there's but a handful of members of these forums who've even heard of the Amiga itself... let alone know what the game Hunter looks/plays like :D

What you're telling me is I'm showing my age right :rolleyes:

Had a 1200, but can't say this game rings any bells tbh, Played a LOT of the settlers and magazine demos on it though :)

Could'nt beat a bit of pong either! (shooting the bubbles and they split in two :))

I upgraded to a 1200 but had a 500 for some time.. Unfortunately Hunter only ran on the 500 and I could never get it going on the 1200.

I think it was one of the first 3D, roam around a large open space, type games. You could drive cars, boats and aircraft which at the time was phenomenal. We never used to play the actual missions, we just used to wander round and shoot things.

Not at all! I owned 6 different Amiga's in my time too (starting with an A500)... including an 050 accelerated A1200-based, fully loaded tower system (which were a new idea at the time) :cool: :D

I had an A1200 but a mate who owned a repossession company gave me an 8mb chip he had no use for (Didn't realise what they were worth at the time).

I think I must have been the only person to have a 10MB A1200.

I could buy 2x 1GB of the best RAM available for the same price now... but I remember paying close to £250 for an 8MB stick of RAM for my upgraded A1200 :eek:

I wasn't much less for a CD-ROM drive when they came out... and that was for a 1x :D

I PLAYED HUNTER!!!!!!
and monkey island, and monkey island 2, and worms, and worms DC, and desert Strike, and fury of the furries, and gloom(a not very well known doom cloan), the list goes on and on, so I'll continue... XCOM:ENemy Unknown, terrors from the deep, cannon fodder, Cannon fodder 2, syndicate, wings of fury, The Big Red adventure etc etc.

I loved the amiga, and I'm not showing my age (22).

I've even bought the official emulator from cloanto. Works a treat, and Team17 released a lot of their Amiga games for it free, you can download them at Dream17.co.uk run by Ben Paddon (great guy) who also runs www.fried-comic.com .

Yeah, I had a CD Rom drive too.. Worked through the PCMCIA slot but was so buggy it's untrue. I could never get my accelerator to run with the full 8mb at the same time as the CDRom. I had to fit a switch to run it at 4mb every time I needed to use the CD.

That's like a wish list of the best Amiga games ever although "It came from the desert" has to get top marks for it's sheer weirdness!

Was never a hunter fan but loved games like worms, ---> cannon fodder <---, skidmarks, lotus turbo challenge III, James Pond etc.
