Oh yeah ... :lust:

 

F-19 Stealth fighter

 

The one I had had a bug in it where the fighter would flip on its back if you waggled the joystick too vigorously ... or is that built into the real thing due to its inherent inflight instability? :P

 

Nebulus

Another World

The Secret of Money Island

Sensible Soccer (Kick off suxxxx forever!!!)

Midwinter

Carrier Command

Rainbow Islands (the BEST arcade conversion I've ever played on ANY system).

Why do the Atari ST (and Amiga) games/joysticks only have one button?? This is so frustrating for gaming! Its like I love Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond, and it plays great on Apple II, but on the other computers, its so hard because of the one button joysticks.

 

It seems like these advanced computers would have at least 2 button joysticks. Apple's weren't perfect, the entire 8/16 bit line, only had 1 joystick port, so that sucked for 2 player games :(

Why do the Atari ST (and Amiga) games/joysticks only have one button??

 

Why wasn't there an internal hard drive as standard on ST/Amigas?

Why no VGA output?

Why no PCMCIA?

Why no true SCSI devices?

Why no laser printer support out of the box?

Why not Greek support out of the box?

Why do the joystick ports reside on a weird place on ST?

Why using the same case for Falcon?

 

You got me, I can't answer any of these, including yours! Most probably economic issues though

I'd like to have Greek support as well, just to be able to see what's so great about it that you want to have it... :D

 

Well, if you see the methods we use to have Greek in our machines, you wouldn't be surprised ;)

 

LOL

We are all gone off-topic after that joystick question.

 

Well, at least I did my bit and typed down some games, where's your excuse? Post your lists people :)

Ultima

 

This reminds me, have you tried grabbing the d-bug version of ultima 6, installing it to floppies and then copying them to hdd? I think it should work out of the box. As a matter of fact I'll try it right now :)

 

EDIT just tried the d-bug version on my falcon and it seems to work a-ok ;)
