Oh my god, thank you so much

Never played number 3 so don't think ill bother with that seeing as its 3d, not sure i'd enjoy it.

84mb for the first one, jeez thats some file size haha

3rd one isn't too bad tbh and worth a look if it's cheap

LOL, I went onto GOG only wanting to purchase a couple of classics... now I have over 200 games in my GOG collection

Neil79 · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:12

and most likely you'll not play them all

As a fan of simon 1 and 2 it was strange to go 3d but my god its fun and very funny in places too. I personally think tho others will disagree that the devs made fun of 3d which is why its so low quality tho not low enough to be work for a comedy game imo. They even more or less say that with the dwarfs thing when you go in somewhere and he says the budget wasnt there to make all the dwarfs so they used a pic or was it cut outs i dunno.

But yeah get the talkie versions of 1 and 2 and play 3d one but the ones after that are utter tripe imo.

Note - Settlers has a free online version (Settlers Online, currently in totally open beta).

It's pretty good. There are some slightly farmville-y bits (obvious time limiting bits that you can overcome with purchased 'gems' instead of waiting; daily log-in rewards etc) but I played it for a few months with no financial investment at all and frankly it's rather pleasing, especially for free.

SkeeterUK · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:17

Settlers 2 had a remake iirc. Worth hunting for that version.

Edit - http://www.ubi.com/UK/Games/Info.aspx?pId=4783

Hmm i always thought it was settlers 2 i liked out of them games but it was the first if this is the right intro vid for it as i loved this intro vid when i played my sisters copy of settlers.

Ah the memories of the old games i used to play and love.

TomProx · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:30

After a little look around gog, im going to be spending a lot of money, its all fairly cheap aswell.

Gonna buy, rollercoaster tycoon, abes odessey, duke nukem, redneck rampage.

God there is so much awesome games i remember there.

SkeeterUK · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:36

Steam has some older games too which you might want to look at.

ZG002 · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:44

Christ this thread has just made me want to buy an Amiga 1200 lol. Even though all of these are available on the PC it's on the Amiga I played Simon I and II and Settlers.

SkeeterUK · 22 Mar 2013 at 10:50

Amiga version did have the nicer purple interface iirc compared to the other types on pc etc. Tho saying that i just checked the vids on utube and they have the purple interface, hmm im sure the amiga one had something the others didnt tho didnt it?

True, but im going to give it a bloody good go

Just completed System Shock 2, the first farcry and some weird game called The Ball and now currently playing through the Tomb Raiders from the beginning and all the Duke Nukem games and about to start the second Farcry too. :cool:

I'm not sure. You had three different versions on the Amiga in the end. 64 colour for A500/600, 256 colour for A1200 and the Amiga Cd version had voice acting.

Not sure what the PC had, as I gamed solely on the Amiga 500 and my mates A1200 at the time.
