Super Cars - A fantastic retro top down racer you've got to play!

"Super Cars" was developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Gremlin Graphics in the early 90's for the Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, NES and even the ZX Spectrum. The core of the gameplay was to race around tough tracks, earning money, then purchasing better weapons and power-ups to beat the competition in one of the best top down Amiga racing games as the prequel to the even better Super Cars II. Thankfully memories live on with this game as GamesNostalgia has made available a portable Amiga to MAC/PC edition of this game for all to enjoy.

Hunter - Action/Adventure classic that's well worth playing!

Let's go back in time, right back to 1991 when Activsion released 'Hunter' for the Amiga and Atari ST. An action-adventure game that by today's view point would be classed as a Battlefield 4, Grand Theft Auto and Far Cry mix. Expansive, open worlds, a military theme, and the focus on small squads of soldiers or lone heroes. A high grade 3D game with sandbox-type game play, developed by Paul Holmes and music by Martin Walker. If you remember the title, you'll be very pleased to know that Gamesnostalgia's latest edition to its download and play on PC list is Hunter!

Sid Meier's Pirates! - One of the best games I've ever played, Yarrr!

It is incredible to think that the original Sid Meier's retro gaming hit of 'Pirates!', from way back in the late 80's can still be played today and enjoyed by people of all ages. It had you sailing your very own ship such as a fast sloop, capturing other ships, looking for treasure, sword fighting on deck, and marrying a rather pretty lady! In fact it was a highly addictive game that appeared on the Amiga, Amiga CD32, Apple II/IIGS, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and many others. So if you want to play this game right now without setting any emulators up, here's the Amiga version ready to be launched on a home PC!

A bit of a slow news day to start Monday so kick it up a notch here's a lovely game you might want to play, and that's Darkmere ( Prequel to Dragonstone ), which was released way back in 1993/4 developed by Zero Hour Software and published by Core Design. This game classed as an action adventure RPG that has very decent Amiga graphics and a dark overtone, has since been packaged together with an emulator by Gamesnostalgia and can be launched on a PC or Mac without having to be set up!

Project-X - An Amiga Shoot em up you've just got to play

One of the greatest Shoot em ups I can remember, wasn't the all time classic R-Type, but Team 17's Project-X, which was not only released on the Amiga in 1992, but later ported to MS-DOS. It was a game for its time that excelled in graphics, sound and awesome wave blasting enemies that not only featured cool weaponry, but great powerups such as side defence, missiles and even speed ups. But if you've never played it and want to have a go, then Gamesnostalgia have done a PC/MAC packed version with inclusive Amiga emulator and game file.

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

It's time to mention a game that I have been wanting to replay for a very long time, a point and click adventure that is both unique and full of charm and was released in 1992/3 for DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST. That game is ' Ween: The Prophecy ', a very hard to find adventure that was developed by Coktel Vision and published by Sierra On-Line, which has since been listed on Gamesnostalgia as a PC/MAC playable download that you really should be playing right now!

Deliverance: Stormlord II - An axe chopping Amiga action platformer playable on PC/MAC

It's nearly the weekend and a time when we have a bit of a relax from writing, but to end on an enjoyable note if nothing major comes out, we look towards Gamesnostalgia for our retro gaming Friday fix with the re-packed release of the Amiga game' Deliverance: Stormlord II' on the PC and MAC. This game which at times is very similar to GODS, was published for the Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS by 21st Century Entertainment and is the sequel to Stormlord, developed and published by Hewson Consultants!

Dungeon Master - One of the greatest Dungeon Crawlers ready for download!

From the very first time I got my Amiga 500 I've never stopped loving dungeon crawlers, from the extremely popular and famous crawler Dungeon Master, to my personal favourite Eye of the Beholder, each one I've spent many hours playing. But today's news I think will pass the time for many, as thanks to a heads up by GameNostaliga via our twitter page, one of the most amazing Dungeon Crawlers of all time ' Dungeon Master ' has been packed together with the Amiga frontend emulator FS-UAE and made easily launchable on a PC.

K240 - Amiga sequel to the amazing Utopia playable on a PC/MAC

Released in 1994 came a game that almost took the throne from Utopia, a space strategy game with such brilliance in gameplay, that many could not put it down. Although Utopia had you on different planets building, researching and moving units into enemy areas. In K240 you are based in a sector of space with the focus of the game to build colonies on a clusters of asteroids, mine them for ore and defend yourself against other races. And so this fantastic game that everyone should play at least once has been packaged together by GamesNostalgia with the emulator FS-UAE to make it easier to launch.

Shadow of the Beast 1-3 - Psygnosis classic trilogy unofficially re-released as Amiga-PC/MAC playable files

Another great day of writing for Indie Retro News as Gamesnostalgia has made available the PC playable files of an Amiga hit trilogy 'Shadow of the Beast 1-3', which even today if you can find the originals is a must have in any collection, especially if you can find the T-Shirt found in the first Amiga game! In regards to this trilogy of awesomeness, these three games were released from 1989 to 1992, published by Psygnosis, and whereas the first game featured not just revolutionary graphics for its time with up to twelve levels of parallax scrolling backdrops and an atmospheric score by David Whittaker, the sequels were composed by Tim Wright.

Stardust - In your face Asteroids clone as an Amiga-PC playable release

Another great unofficial re-release by Gamesnostalgia for the PC is this rather spiffy Asteroids Amiga clone of Stardust, which was released by Bloodhouse in 1993. This game took Asteroids to another level with not just awesome power ups and shields, but also looked graphically advanced with vivid in your face colours and containing a wicked high beat soundtrack. Although the game did appear on the PC, the port were distinctly lacking with the PC version being buggy as it was not by the original team.

Head Over Heels - Isometric hit unofficially re-released as an Amiga-PC playable file

A great Friday update as we've just learnt that Ocean Software's 1987 isometric hit game 'Head Over Heels' has unofficially been made available as an Amiga-PC/MAC playable file via GamesNostalgia. What that means is, if fiddling with emulators and rom set ups is not to your liking you can play the Amiga version on your PC and MAC by simply running the file, although at its core it does use the fantastic frontend emulator FS-UAE.

Dragon's Breath - The best Dragon game ever? Amiga playable on PC and MAC!

When I was but a we'lad I played in my opinion one of the best ever games ever to grace a computer; a game whereby you could not only control Dragons, but you could breed them AND use Alchemy to either improve or if failure, make them sick before the battle ahead. It just had to be the ultimate Dragon game, Dragon's Breath AKA Dragon Lord by Palace Software, LTD and Spotlight Software in 1990. Which has also been unofficially made available via GamesNostalgia as a freely launchable exe file for PC and Mac.

Utopia : The Creation of a Nation - A great Amiga sci-fi strategy game launch-able on PC

In the early 90's I was to play one of the best Amiga strategy games of all time with buildings to place, resources to mine and Alien races to defeat. That game was none other than the brilliant Amiga sci-fi planetary classic ' Utopia : The Creation of a Nation ', which was published by Gremlin Interactive. In fact it was such a fine title, I just had to mention that the same game is now available on GamesNostalgia as an easily launch-able set up for the PC

Stunt Car Racer - The best stunt car game on the Amiga easily launch-able on PC and MAC

Of all the games to appear on the Amiga, this in my opinion was one of the best stunt style racers and one of Geoff Crammonds finest games,  it had some of the craziest tracks ever with one of them being the ultimate track the "Ski Jump". Yet what made it so good was not just the feeling of speed, but the thrill of accelerating into the sky and coming back down with an almighty crack, especially if you end up missing the track altogether. So you can probably see why I'm just that little bit excited to play the best Amiga version but on a PC or MAC with an easy to launch set up thanks to Gamesnostalgia and of course emulation software FS-UAE by Frode Solheim.

Rick Dangerous - A fantastic Amiga platformer playable on PC and MAC

Prepare yourself for an all time classic platforming game, a gem in the retro scene. It's none other than Rick Dangerous, developed by Core Design in 1989 that has been packaged together with the Amiga emulator FS-UAE for playability on the MAC and PC by GamesNostalgia. This is a game that's at the top of its class, released all those years ago on the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and DOS. It puts you in control of an Indiana Jones style character, with pistol and dynamite in hand, avoiding traps and fighting off enemies in lots of themed levels that will keep you hooked for ages!

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.

Body Blows - Team 17's Amiga fighter available on the PC and 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!

Badlands - Post-apocalyptic Amiga arcade racer playable on PC

It's going to be a gamesnostalgia day today as a number of Amiga games have been packed up and made easily runnable on a PC via FS-UAE. The first game is none other than the spiritual successor to Super Sprint ' Badlands ', which was a post-apocalyptic themed arcade racing game giving you the opportunity to blast away the competition using both cannon and missile. With each race won you'll be able to spend money on cool upgrades such as turbo's and increase speed before the themed track changes and you've got to do it all again.
