Hired Guns - An Amiga Sci-fi experience like no other on the PC

As its my Birthday today, I thought it best to celebrate by mentioning one of the best games on the Amiga, 'Hired Guns', which has been packaged together with FS-UAE for playability on the PC by GamesNostalgia. First released in 1993 for both Amiga and DOS, this game was the highlight of my gaming youth developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis. It put you in charge of 4 mercenaries lured into a trap! A weapons proving ground whereby you must defend yourself against genetically engineered creatures.

Walker - Amiga blaster classic demo'd on the ZX Spectrum

Walker on the Amiga was an incredible action packed shooter by DMA Design/Psygnosis. It was released way back in 1993 and puts you and possibly a friend in control of a giant walker like machine, through multiple time periods blasting both man and vehicle to pieces with a very powerful gun. It was such a great game to play and to look at, that I was surprised to learn this week of a ZX port by Russian coders 'Alien Factory' in 2001-9 to the ZX Spectrum (Pentagon clone)

Lemmings Techno Remix by RIGELZ

It's incredible to think that this weekend was the 25th Anniversary of DMA Design's ' Lemmings ', a game published by Psygnosis way back in the early 90's for the Amiga, Atari ST and PC. It is one of the greatest games ever and featured many blue, green haired Lemmings that could be blown up, ripped apart and dropped from the highest of points before they even hope to reach that exit. But it wasn't just the digging, blocking and thought worthy gameplay that made people love it so, but it had some really chippy tunes that sound great even today. One of those tunes has been remixed by RIGELZ also known as Anton Eriksson, and although it's a short remix, the creator has promised to make it longer and for that I'm really grateful.

Lemmings Pre-Release Demo - The lost Amiga soundtrack!

Here's something you don't see every day as Cauterize from EAB has come across an old 1990's pre-release demo of Lemmings; which was a puzzle-platformer video game originally published by Psygnosis for the Amiga in 1991. According to Cauterize it features a different title screen, varied music and a new level ordering. What was also interesting about this pre-release demo as mentioned by s2325, was a "lost" soundtrack. The music cannot be heard throughout the demo itself, but rather the mod files need to be extracted out of the disk. Also according to S2325, Mindless at lemmingsforums.net was the one to extract the data files. The tracks in this set are sorted in a random order, as there is no way to figure out on which levels the tracks were assigned. So here we have the full soundtrack, available to listen to on Youtube.
