Rare Amiga games

[Ghost]

Well regarding rare titles, I still haven't seen First Samurai on Ebay for sale, only the Super Nintendo version.

Moonstone regulary goes for similar prices.
Never having played it, couldn't say why.

You need to give it a try TiredOfLife, it is a brilliant game. Right up there as one of the best games the Amiga saw.

Funny thing is, I don't remember magazines rating Moonstone that high at all. Most scores I've seen were in the average range. A prime example of how different opinion can be between critics and the general public.

The problem with magazine reviews is that they get to see every game being released on a platform, so have the ability to compare each new game with every other released, which can often lead to some being over critical.

But with regard to Moonstone, I remember the reason was because the game contained a lot of bugs that made it unstable, and the first version released couldn't actually be completed because the game would crash when you tried to reach the centre of the map for the final part.

But saying that, I often see a similar thing on site's like GameSpot who give the press scores and the readers (general public) scores, and often the reader scores are higher. I think if you are a reader and are prepared to rate a game then it will generally be because you either really like it, or think it is complete crap. In comparison the press will rate a game because it is their job.

I would also be very interested in seeing a list of the rarer Amiga games, as there is a shop just round the corner from my parents that sell a wide range of old Amiga and ST and even some 8-bit stuff.

I should have a browse for all the Amiga stuff and make a really skanky offer for them, then work out whether there are any rare games amongst them...

But I can't afford it...

So if anyone could furnish me with a list of the rare Amiga games, and especially if people are looking for a specific game I can have a nose through their games and see what gems they may have.

I would love to get my hands on War In Middle Earth for the Miggy.

Heh, as I might recall I made a list some time ago

Anyway, could you have a look if they have any of the following for the Amiga?

The First Samurai
The Second Samurai
Uridium 2
Exile (AGA version)
(I think I can find Desert Strike online)

Please do have a look at the condition of the boxes and manuals.

I guess I will have to snoop through Moby, HOL and Atari Legend for more interesting titles.
