Got to say I really like Flight of the Amazon Queen. Beneath a Steel Sky sometimes gets criticised for it’s very British humour but I’m British so I like it. I have to admit I’ve never played the Goblins games but you can bet I’m going to after this. Dream Web was ahead of it’s time & is less shocking/controversial now than it was back then. The SCUMM games all play great & Lucas Arts made great games so it’s no surprise the engine has been ported to everything. Secret of Monkey Island remains one of my all time favourite games that I still go back to from time to time. Great video again, thanks.
I love British humour (also lived in UK for close to 8 years between 2001 and 2009) ever since I laid my eyes on a first Monty Python sketch back when I still was a kid. "Every $perm is sacred, every $perm is great" ;)
But Indiana Jones is based on characters from pulp magazines from the 20's and 30's. So he's not far off. "Indiana Jones is modelled after the strong-jawed heroes of the matinée serials and pulp magazines that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg enjoyed in their childhoods (such as the Republic Pictures serials, and the Doc Savage series). Sir H. Rider Haggard's safari guide/big game hunter Allan Quatermain of King Solomon's Mines is a notable template for Jones"
nothing beats point & click games, thanks for the recommendations! I just started playing Beneath a Steel Sky. I guess Amiga never got Browken Sword? the first one is still my favorite point & click game to this day :) what a timless genre, good thing the genre got a bit of a revival in recent years.
Thanks a lot! It was fun making it too. If you're into it, check my other videos too as I upload at least once per week and there's a lot to choose from. Ps. I subscribed to you, your channel looks like fun. :)
There were adventure games with same perspective as Dreamweb - Valhalla series. Simon the Sorcerer is available on OCS/ECS (I did played it on my A500 in the days)
Sure, but they are very late and came out after Amiga was "long gone". Also, it's an incredibly long video, and it would've looked a bit different today, I think. Not entirely, but some titles would be replaced.
1) I am new subscriber from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮. 2) I still own the original Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 computers + games 😺👍🕹️. Especially the C64 games on the tapes and disks. 3) The old retro games inspire me to draw my own comic fan arts - mostly the furry comic arts 😺🐰🦊 - and share them on TH-cam 😺👍. Thank you 😸😺👍!
Thanks a lot for subscribing! I too still have my old A500. C64 sadly no more. But eventually, as the time goes, if I've any expandable income, I'll try to rebuild the collection again. And good job on the art! :)
You have NOT upset me! I like your selection - great video! I also did a video on the five best point and click adventure games (from LucasArts) and like the overlaps we have. :) Video liked and subscribed to the channel. :)
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! I took a look at your channel and it looks interesting. But I don't speak German, so wont be able to participate. One way or another since you're more or less into the same things, I'm giving you a sub too. After all, every little helps, right? :)
If I may... Ooh, point and click adventure games! :D I really like those and I agree with your list. Lucas Arts themselves were masters of the genre and made memorable and fun games. As a kid I had Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise by Humongous and played it a lot, especially making cabbage faces. It's a good game for a kid to get into the genre, in my opinion. :) Simon trying to buy a hint book from the in-game merchant was hilarious. XD
I really like your videos but you should consider a bit changing your sound setting. Your voice comes way too low and as a result the audio from the game drowns it so while music plays orloud effects you can barely be heard over it. Excellent job otherwise.
Universe was technically stunning. They actually pulled off 256 colours on the screen at the same time on A500. That was unthinkable at the time outside of some graphics editing software or still images.
I claimed the game on steam. For anyone curious, it was Frederic: Resurrection of Music.
Nice one! :)
To celebrate the release of the next video, I'll be dropping a pretty good game in the next code. Well, at least I think so. :)

@@OldAndNewVideoGames LOL! 😄
_Flight of the Amazon Queen_ is clearly based on aviation fiction from pulp magazines of the 20's and 30's, not _Indiana Jones_ .
That might just be. I'm not familiar with these however.

You just took me 30yrs into the past to relive the frustration of the little red flag in Future Wars 😆
You're welcome, I suppose ;)

I'm gonna be starting a new Amiga series very soon. It's gonna be only Amiga exclusives. So, some p&c games gonna be there too. No doubt about that.
Great video man!!

I never knew about Simon the Sorcerer releasing on basic hardware. I gotta look it up, thanks!
A lot of the later games like The Dig are Scummvm games. So they can be played on an Amiga. They may require AGA graphics.
Sure, but they are very late and came out after Amiga was "long gone". Also, it's an incredibly long video, and it would've looked a bit different today, I think. Not entirely, but some titles would be replaced.

Oh Amiga, such a great little system that could. ;)
@@OldAndNewVideoGames It seems perfect for adventure games, with its pretty graphics and music.

Thanks and noted! :) Next videos will be more balanced sound-wise.
Best is game Universe!
Universe was technically stunning. They actually pulled off 256 colours on the screen at the same time on A500. That was unthinkable at the time outside of some graphics editing software or still images.
Secret of the Monkey Island, funny Slav take on a title
xD
