Ween: The Prophecy - A very unique but well worth playing Amiga game! (PC/MAC)

Remember when I said I had more Gamesnostalgia mentions to come, well here's the next one, the Amiga's answer to Street Fighter, ' Body Blows ' by Team 17 way back in 1993. This was according to many Amiga game mags of the time, one of the best beat em ups money can buy, a true corker and one such mag The One even said "If you thought Streetfighter II was the business, think again" . A game worthy to be on the Amiga indeed, released for both AGA and non AGA models and much better than the PC port version, hence mentioning this one instead!

Eye of the Beholder AGA - MAC/PC playable Amiga dungeon crawler classic with Automap!

Only just recently I found a new site that enabled people to play retro games without all the hassle of setting anything up, it was just a download and run experience. But because many of their games are DOS based and being sold, we cannot mention any of their PC games. However that doesn't mean we can't mention Amiga games and it's today's special treat which may appeal to our avid dungeon crawler fans that was originally from the Amiga. The game we are going to shout about is in fact Eye of the Beholder, the Amiga AGA version which was written by Bertrand/CFou to support AGA (256 colors) GFX with automapping. - For the PC version you can buy it on GOG as well as Eye of the Beholder 2 and 3!
