Thank you for your comment! How can I try your games? Could you send me some to showcase on the channel?

🤣 Do you really think so? I guess compared with modern games they're graphically inferior, but the memories they bring back are awesome

🤣🤣

Thank you! More videos are on the way!

Thanks for your comment, was an interesting game but wasn't published by Ocean software. The Amiga version was published by Capstone Software.

yes, the infamous dongle which sometimes didn't fit

IIRC, It was just a shift register and XOR gate combined so that a shifted out value of bits would give a certain pattern when read back in. Pretty simple, but even then, easily bypassed in the code itself.

Thanks so much for watching and for your insight! It’s always been a bit of a mystery why only Kevin Costner's likeness was clear, while the rest of the cast was blacked out. It might have been a licensing or rights issue, as you mentioned, especially given De Niro's complete absence.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the classic 'aarrgghh!' moment on Rambo III - it’s definitely a memorable part of the game! If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing for more fun retro game moments like these!

Thanks for sharing that! That’s such an intriguing bit of trivia about Jack Nicholson and his Joker sprite. I’ve heard similar stories about him being very particular, but I haven’t found any solid evidence either. It would be fascinating if it’s true

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! Ocean games really had a way of drawing you in, didn’t they? The Amstrad CPC had some absolute gems, and it’s awesome to hear that you enjoyed so many of them! Hopefully, this video brought back some good memories, and maybe even introduced you to a few you missed. If you haven’t subscribed yet, feel free to join for more retro gaming nostalgia!

Doesn't sound Irish at all to me. Doesn't sound anything like Weller either though. No idea why they didn't just sample the sound clip from the movie, would have been much better. They managed it on the Spectrum even.

Thanks for the great comment! The accent in Robocop's intro always brings a smile, I was never sure why they didn't just sample it from the movie! It's also amazing that you crossed paths with Lee Cowley! Those connections from back in the Ocean days make these games feel even more special.

Must have sold 30-40 of those Amiga packs personally when working in a computer shop during the late 80's and early 90's. So man fond memories of those times.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The C64 version of Platoon definitely had some incredible music, and I can see why you’d prefer it. Each platform had its own unique vibe, but there’s something special about the C64 sound. Thanks for being a subscriber - I really appreciate it! Looking forward to bringing more retro comparisons your way!

Thanks for watching! Ocean and Cannon Films really did have that rapid-fire approach to movies and games, didn’t they? And you’re so right - Ocean’s lineup of composers, like Martin Galway, really set their games apart with some legendary soundtracks. Glad you enjoyed those tunes too!

Thanks so much, @per-olaeriksson2589! The Addams Family is such a classic - glad you had fun with it too! If you’re not already subscribed, feel free to join for more retro gaming memories. Really appreciate the support!

Thanks for watching! Those 3D levels in Jurassic Park were such a standout feature at the time, weren’t they? It really added a new dimension to the game (pun intended)! If you haven’t subscribed yet, feel free to join for more fun retro game insights

No they weren't. Sounds like you were just nitpicking.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Licensed games definitely had their ups and downs, and it’s fair to say some titles didn’t quite live up to the movies. Still, there’s a certain charm to them we can laugh about now! And hey, Batman and Robocop did have their moments. I hope this video brought back some memories, good or bad!

Rambo III rubbish? Give over! Admittedly, it's the weakest of the five but still plenty of action to keep you entertained.

Thanks for watching and sharing your take! Rambo III definitely has that classic 80s action vibe, even if it's not everyone's top pick. And I agree - RoboCop II brought some fun improvements over the original. Appreciate you being a subscriber! Looking forward to bringing you more of these retro game reflections!

Thanks for watching! The choice of carnival-style music in The Untouchables is definitely an interesting one - it adds a quirky twist to the game! Maybe they were going for something unexpected to make it memorable. If you haven’t already subscribed, feel free to join for more retro gaming oddities and fun discussions

Thanks for your comment! I have to say, I quite enjoyed driving the Batmobile, but you’re right - the whole game was seriously challenging! Some of those segments, like the driving part, really tested our patience. Darkman and Red Heat definitely had their quirks, Red Heat was pretty awful! Appreciate you sharing your experiences - it’s always good to know others went through the same struggles! 🚗💥😅

@@RetroGamesRediscovered I liked all the parts of Batman The Movie, with the exception of the middle, puzzle part where you have to figure out the proper products. It really felt out of place. With practice, i was able to complete the first level without cheating, but I could never finish the driving level. I've watched videos of people playing it without cheating and they crash a few times, miss turns, and yet they still make it. I played the hell out of that level, until I could do it almost perfectly, hitting maybe one car and only missing 1-2 turns, but I'd always run out of time. I did a completely unscientific analysis, where I drove at top speed, watched how much the distance went down compared to the timer, and concluded that the time limit was too short. It's possible that my copy was PAL (even though it seemed to run correctly in NTSC) and maybe the timer was counting down faster than it should have been. I've been meaning to test it again under emulation, with an untouched IPF disk image of an original, but I never seem to get around to it.

Thanks so much for the detailed info! You’re absolutely right about the A1000’s RAM - the 256 KB on the mainboard plus the memory expansion makes a big difference, especially compared to systems like the Atari 260ST. It’s always fascinating to see how Commodore approached things back then. Sounds like you have an amazing collection with both the A1000 (especially that early model with the ceramic chipset!) and the A500s. Really appreciate your insights - it’s always great to hear from someone with as much Amiga passion as me! 😊

Thanks so much for your comment, 005Agima! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. You’re absolutely right - Ocean did an impressive job mixing gameplay styles in a single game, which kept things fresh and exciting! Batman and RoboCop are top picks for sure, such iconic games with plenty of variety. Thanks for sharing it with the Perth Amiga user group - much appreciated! 😊

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video! Darkman is definitely an interesting one - worth checking out if you’re up for a bit of Ocean’s movie game quirks! Hope you get the chance to give it a go sometime. Appreciate the comment! 😊

Thanks for your comment, and yes was such a great and unique game. Loved the cheat mode at the beginning too. I might need to revisit this game soon

Thanks for your comment! Ocean was indeed a powerhouse, and it’s impressive how they managed to bring in those iconic sounds - spot on about the machine gun sound in Platoon resembling the pulse rifle from Aliens! And great spot on Navy Seals, I’d actually forgotten about that one! It was another solid movie game that really captured the action. I think you’re right about Ocean’s strengths on the 8-bit machines too - the jump to the Amiga came with higher expectations, especially with games selling at the price they did, I guess some of them were worth it when they were released under the Hit Squad! Appreciate the insights and thanks for watching! 🎮😊

@RetroGamesRediscovered loving the videos maybe ya next video should be all the games us gold and tiertex screwed up on the amiga

Thank you 🤣 The games that failed on the Amiga... Great idea for a video

Thanks for your comment! Completely agree - RoboCop 3 really pushed the technical limits for its time, but that difficulty was brutal! It’s definitely one of those games that tested players’ patience and skills. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts - glad you enjoyed the video! 🕹️💪

At least Robocop 3 had more than hour of something to play whereas for example Terminator 2 just didn't :)

Thanks so much for your comment! 😊 It’s always great to hear from fellow fans of Ocean’s classic movie tie-ins on the Amiga 500 - and what a brilliant list of favourites you’ve got there! Batman: The Movie, Platoon, and RoboCop are all iconic, and it’s amazing how these games still hold up. If you ever get the chance to try Lethal Weapon, Cool World, or Darkman, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for tuning in from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮 - happy gaming! 🕹️🎮

Thanks for your comment! I actually think this collection stands strong on its own with some great games included - I don’t see it as the 'leftovers' cart at all! It’s definitely a bonus to have the original Amiga versions instead of the console ports, though, and I totally understand the choice of Z on the PSX given the Evercade’s limitations. Always good to hear different takes on the collection - appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

Rainbow Islands was such a great game. I know 8 missed it off this list, I think I need to do another one! Thanks for your comment
