@OldTechAdverts Yeah. The idea that it's a fish-eye view of the world through an eyeball.. (maybe a reflection in the eye.) I like the concept. The image just doesn't quite get it across well enough.
Such an excellent game. I just wish the advert did a better job of selling it. 😁
@OldTechAdverts I don't know what it is about the magazine advert for The Sentinel. I just didn't like the look of it. The loading screen pixelled by Bob looked a whole lot better, I thought. 😁
@BitmapsRetro Not a whole lot there that would pull me in to revisit them. Except Stunt Car Racer, of course. That one was always a blast. 👍 And Red Storm Rising. That game seriously hooked me, back in the day.
@rtid75 I didn't realise Pinball Illusions had a CD-32 version.
I remember Pinball Fantasies being on the CD-32 during that brief time when it was on the market. I thought the CD-32 was already kinda dead and buried by the time Illusions came out. (But time-lines blur after so long.) 😄
@BitmapsRetro The last Amiga flight-sim I had was Jet Pilot. I got to have a little input with their analogue joystick support. It was really quite a sophisticated simulator. I never properly worked out how to shoot at anything (or land 😮), but I had tons of fun trying to work it all out. 😄
@BitmapsRetro F15 Strike Eagle II also had analogue support, but you couldn't configure the stick, so you had to use a joystick with adjustable pot-levels, or put up with a plane that constantly wants to turn left and pull up. 😄 Fun game. F19 was wrapped around the same flight engine, yeah?
@BitmapsRetro One of the first games I saw on a friends Amiga 2000 was F/A-18 Interceptor. It was digital joystick, but I was still a way away from working out analogue adapters. 🤓 The Top Gun sounding music and slick graphics had me hooked, though I never worked out how to shoot anything. 😎
@JamesPond47 Oh yeah, I forgot that the eyeball display changes.
It's kinda like doom, but without the bloody face. 🙂
It's a good game, but the timing is just too unforgiving.
(Much more playable on the Amstrad, I have to say.)
😮
Today's awesome game in the C64s trademark brown, it brought to you by the letters T, R and the number 2. Coz it's a sequel, to the home ports, not the arcade game, which didn't have this. 🤔 Which is odd, coz this is so damned hard, it would make players chew through credits. 😋
