    Trying to find an old Amiga game

    I can't remember the name of a game. It was a bloody great game I enjoyed when I was young.

    It was this thing which was sort of robotic, but it's body could stretch up really high.

    I remember the box being green, and it said something like he was a mean green fighting machine.. or something along the lines.


    Any help?

    Cheers

    It was one of my favourite yet most infuriating games.

    One of the last levels was on something like disk 4, unfortunately that disk never worked and I was never able to complete the game.

    Yeah. I remember that being a big problem with the Amiga. I had about 10 boxes full of Amiga games (got them given to me by my father friend). Tons worked, tons didn't.

    Wish I still had them, would be great fun.. plus they would probably be worth loads now lol.

    James Pond is available for DS and GBA and it's good as ever.
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    I have have an Amiga A500 with...wait for it...a 1MB upgrade...oooh in the parents loft/attic, am now desperate to get into my house and setup to play!

    I love things like SimCity 2000, Shadow of the Beast, Zeewulf, Worms, Stunt Car Racer, and another car racing game that I cannot remember the name of but was isometric view and you could tow caravans with up to 4 players.

    Skidmarks! OMG I loved that game and all its modes and so many tracks, it was a great multiplayer too.

    Graphics aren't everything, the young 'uns need to learn that after all the hype nowadays!

    Pah! My Dad managed to get 3Mb of RAM on our A500! I still have my A1200 lying around at my parents place along with a 14" Commodore monitor and 2 or 3 external drives which you could daisy-chain (handy for games like Beneath a Steel Sky and Money Island and their umpteen disks). Amazing how a company with a system so far ahead managed to screw it up (I believe the CD32 wasn't matched for a long time spec wise).
