Amigo del diablo




Its Getting a rarer and rarer sight seeing Amiga games mostly found at car-boots, This lot was in a cash convertors all priced up at 99p and £1.99 I ended up buying every game they had but Humans 2 that was priced at £12.99 Like someone started looking them up on ebay and only got 1 game, I came out with,
Premiership manager 2 ultimate soccer manger, PGA European tour, World Class Cricket Football Director 2 European Super league, Brutal Football,Civilizations Interceptors, F17 Challenge, Micro maths and a couple of Spectrum games American football Treble, All these games and it come in under £20, Yes a lot of sports titles in there but its for a Machine I don't own much software for, So I am willing to bulk up the collection with some sports games.
With all that stuff from cash convertors there was this commodore 64 game, Spirits of the stones, It was in a box bigger then your standard big box and came with a full book that gives you clues in the game I check this out on ebay and theirs only one at £25 so for £1.99 and the fact that it looks awesome I had to buy this.

Finally had chance to check all the Amiga games over and they where all in great shape even with the old school piracy protection in the box, Lots of old Amiga games use these slide wheel things to match up the code on screen. So cool that they had these present.


Couple of DS games in Recycling unlimited Charity shop, £1 each for these, Still had some Trade in them At £2 for tomb raider and £1.60 for Zoo keeper the Cash was break even, So these can go on the trade pile.

7 sins for pc for £1, Its about £8 worth of game, Never released in the USA so there is that factor and Its grouped in with a bunch of games from round that time in the mid 00s that had a more adult theme e.g Singles, BMX XXX, Playboy mansion, 3D Sexvile, if  128 bit side boob is your thing.

Right then lets fire up some of them Amiga games, I always test everything I find, So stuff gets a quick 5 min, Then other times there stuff that is worth spending a bit more time on lets see what won out this time.

F-17 Challenge is racing game by Team 17 who made worms, The game its self has some OK scrolling, with some really impressive car animation but lacks engine sound effects not bad, Next I tried Civilization.

The intro to CIV 1 is awesome, So cool to see what the Amiga version had to offer, My first go on CIV back in the day was the ps1 version of CIV 2, It was great to see how it all started, The practical side of that how ever is less good, The amount of disk changes you have to make across 4 different makes the game experience feel so primitive, So If your Feeling nostalgic I would Emulate or just bang on CIV 5 and forget about it, Ground breaking yes, but a total ball ache on Amiga.
I found this Game Tornado Outbreak totally by accident £7.95, I had Just cut the word Tornado to paste into google because there was a tornado in Hull a few weeks back and I was trying to get the scoop, I ended up pasting it in a saved ebay search and this came up, its like Katamari with tornado's.Then There is this Time sink, I forget all about Diablo Ultimate Evil Edition coming out on the new Gen, A guy at work pulled out the PS4 version that he picked up for £35 that reminded me, Waiting to get paid I hit the Trade pile there was about £15 worth of tat worth about £38 Trade.


So I was going to play the waiting game and hope someone traded it in at cex, I checked the PS4 for CEX Hull that Night on the website and nothing came up, Giving up on the idea I did the rounds on all the console gaming pages to see what else they Had in and on the Xbox one page less the a week of release someone had traded the Xbox One version, Both PS4 and Xbox One run the game at 1080p and From all accounts the game running on both systems is practically identical, Even buying preowned The DLC was unused in the box total bonus!



I have been playing the shit out of Diablo 3 UEE, After only playing the ps3 version for a few hours, I think Gran tursimo 6 mite have been the reason for that? Since Diablo 1 on ps1 I have been a fan, And games like baldur's gate dark alliance have always been a favorite of mine, So if you into Hack and slash with RPG elements and you want the most polished game out there in that genre then pick this up on ether system Its awesome!
