My most favourite games are still probably the ones from the king of all computers, yes, ladies and gentlemen;

The Amiga 500

I remember it was Christmas, I was about 10 or 11 and my friend had had an amiga for a few years, I was desperate to be able to play computer games and as an imaginative child I was in awe of this virtual world. My father had convinced me that I wasn't going to get a computer, because they were rather expensive in those days. I had opened all my Christmas presents and to my dismay it seemed that he was right, there were no computer sized boxes left to be opened, and I thought that all was lost.
Then, there was one small obscure present left on the tree, I thought it was a chocolate bar or something mundane. With some disappintment and reluctance I opened this pathetically small present up, then I realised it was a floppy disk! biggrin: ed: cool:
I went upstairs like the sad little kid I was with my grandmother beside me, shaking with excitement to play on this new computer. Some of my fondest memories are playing old amiga games with my father & friends, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Wild Cup Soccer (by far the best amiga game), Lemmings, Sam & Max hit the road and FA/18 Hornet. Back in the days of 2d computer games when the grafics looked like they had been plucked from the pages of a story book and the game backgrounds were as pretty as any Cézanne.

Wild cup soccer, a game where the players are animals and the game rules include using guns, swords, sheilds and rockets.
