What were your favourite PD games?

Merv the Merciless, which came on issue one of Zero magazine. What a great game, with a clever little twist. (oh, and the Neighbours theme... but I wasn't letting that spoil my enjoyment of the game.)

By the way, on a slight side note. I located this site which may or may not have been covered in here before. It is called Amiga Magazine Rack, and it covers all the major (and some not-so-major) Amiga magazines published.

A few of my favourites:

Deluxe Galaga
Deluxe Pacman
Gravity Force 2 (or the souped up version from Amiga Power: Gravity Power)
M.A.S.H
Damage (I think this was PD)

Yeah, I think most of us know about AMR and while better than anything else at the moment, when you look at it, there is actually only a small proportion of the magazines actually available (they quote 20,000 pages which at a conservative estimate of 100 pages per issue means there's 'just' 200 full issues worth on there - Amiga Format and Amiga Power alone had over 200 issues between them.)

Anyone remember the game on the front coverdisk of Zero, issue one?

MERV THE MERCILESS!!!

Great game. Collect nosh and dosk, but don't let the chainsaw board kill you! Also enjoy a quick Neighbours theme tune sample if you walk over the icon!

Truly barmy game!

But fun.

The other problem with AMR is that they are not preserving the magazines in their entirety. Instead just including the gaming related pages. There was much more to the magazines that that. Productivity software, interviews, reviews, cheats, software tutorials and guides, and even the adverts are worth preserving. Most of which they have missed out.

When I do get time to work on the classicamiga magazine section and finally get it started our goal will be to offer scans of the full magazines from cover to cover so that Amiga fans can look at the complete magazine and everything it included.

Hello Harrison,

Do please make it so that the viewers can also select certain subjects if that is technical possible, for example if you choose only 'reviews' you only get the reviews of the magazine you have selected.

I had a PD that i think was called Tanks - it was a bit like worms in that you had a tank on on side of a hill and you had to shoot the other taking into account wind speed and direction etc. It was ace!
I used to play quite a few PD games but I cant for the life of me remember what they were called. I was more into the tech demos like Jesus on E's and State of the Art.

I think we may already have the game you are thinking of on the site. Was it called Tanx?

We even have the game for download so you could try it again.

I will have to have a look through my Amiga HD and see which games were my favourites as I used to have a lot of PD games I played.
