I picked up Bubble Bobble today for $6.99. It doesn't work in 68020 mode on
my Amiga 2500. Graphics are fair -- gameplay is fun! 100 levels for 1 or 2
players. Cute.
Got a chance to play Bandit Kings of Ancient China. It is hard-disk
installable, works in 68020 mode, has no copy protection, can be launched from
the Workbench screen and exits cleanly, and it even has a window gadget to
facilitate multi-tasking. The graphics are beautifully done! It is one of
the very few commercial Amiga games to use 640 x 200 resolution graphics!
Dithering is used frequently, so it appears that more than 16 colors are on
the display.
Also bought Ishido. Very fun strategy game that is hard-disk installable.
Graphics are nice, but nothing like the Mac II screens shown on the back
cover.
Picked up Awesome, too. Best graphics intro on a Psygnosis game yet. The
graphics are excellent and the animation is superb. 3 disks, and it
recognizes multiple drives. Supposedly the first Psygnosis game to utilize
extra memory as an internal RAM disk. Very fun and playable.
