Worst Amiga games ever!

[Harrison]

There were also a couple of budget games I remember purchasing for the Amiga that were truly horrible.

Hellfire was the first. This was a helicopter shoot 'em up with you flying into the screen in a similar style to the Space Harrier, but in Hellfire the sprite scaling used to generate the scenery and enemies as you flew forwards was really horrible, with jerky sprite scaling and very slow framerate. This made it near impossible to play.

And the second was a car racing game from Codemasters called Nitro Boost Challenge. Horrible graphics, collision detection that was too fussy (could easily get stuck on scenery), and impossible jumps across rivers and chasms that required you to release your nitro boost at exactly the right time or you crashed and died. It's only saving grace was the music which was by Allister Brimble.

BTW, I just noticed that we have "Hellfire" on the site as "Hellfire Attack". I'm sure the in-game title just said "Hellfire". I will find the original box and double check what it's called on there. Maybe it was "Hellfire Attack" on the box and just "Hellfire" in the game.

Ah ... for a second I thought you meant Nitro, the one from Psygnosis. That game was sweet ... spent a lot of time playing it with my brother.

Would you believe me if I said I was also quite entertained with Vixen? Told you, no one is more easily entertained than I am

I have to admit that I also enjoyed playing Vixen for a short time too. I got it free bundled with some other games when i ordered a load once and it was quite entertaining, especially as I hadn't had to pay for it.

But as I've mentioned somewhere a long time ago, I think I played it more because of the cover art which featured a bikini clad Corrinne Russell. Sad I know, but in my defence I was a teenager at the time.

Some of those games you mentioned like Hellfire and Vixen were not that bad I quite liked them it depends on which version of Hellfire you mean though the one i had was very good. I had Nitro, the one from Psygnosis it was awsome.
