Oooh, that loading sound from the drive is hugely nostalgic. As I'm almost certain I've mentioned before I had the cartoon pack, lemmings, Bart Simpson, captain planet and something I can't recall. Shame about mercenary, I totally agree about wizball 😂.
Gutted mercenary was also my favourite. Not initially, but having played all the other games to death, mercenary was reluctantly put into the drive, and ended up being absolutely fantastic. Terrorpods, still have no clue how to play it. 😂
I was exactly the same with mercenary mate. Didn't like it at first and ended up loving it. Terrapods I recall I did figure it out a bit back in the day but it's all gone again now.
Me and my older brother got that compilation of TEN STAR PACK, when we got our first Amiga 500 (STARTER KIT) for christmas 🎁🎄🎅 back in the late 1980's. I got these Amiga games: - THUNDERCATS - BUGGY BOY - THE ART OF CHESS - INSANITY FIGHT - TERRORPODS And my brother got these games: - AMEGAS - BARBARIAN: THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR - IKARI WARRIORS - MERCENARY / THE SECOND CITY - WIZBALL What a great retrospective childhood christmas 🎁🎄🎅 😺👍🕹️. I still have THUNDERCATS, TERRORPODS and WIZBALL for my Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
I’d never seen Insanity Fight until now, and will be digging that out soon for a play. Looks good. 👍 Don’t you just hate it when the floppy makes that “cutting through a log wrapped in chains with a hacksaw” sound? I get nervous when that happens often imagining the worst. 😅 Oh and as for Wizball, annoying AF now, but strangely back in the day I had it completely mastered on the Spectrum. Can’t do squat on it now before (like yourself) giving it the one finger salute. 🤣
Love seeing these working.
Wizball……always wanted to love it, we had the Speccy version but it just never clicked.
It's meant to be a really good game as say those who master it. I think the key is in the upgrades as they improve control as you progress.
Pleased to see they worked matey... Nice one 😀
Amazing these Disks still work all these years later. I use fs-uea to play Amiga games, loved the Artworks on the Disk covers.
Yeah I'm a big fan of the boxes but I also happily use other means to play the games, including emulation. More details next week ;)

You know how you "hate that egg"? That's me with wizball that is. "I hate that ball!!!"

Awesome thanks for sharing your memories again. Love it.
It seems your brother got all the best games... except for Buggy Boy!
02:19, I've been so clicker-trained: just hearing that floppy drive sound makes my head go "uhh, good things are coming 🤩"
Yes indeed. It's like a vintage grandfather clock. Ticking away as the heartbeat of the home.

You should check out Rob Smith (Dev)'s crazy disk cleaning machine.
I think I shall.
Too bad about the mold on your favorite. Is ipa the way to clean it?
IPA is indeed meant to be the way. Update next week ;)
A decent result, but isn't it always the way that the one game that "could" let you down is the most wanted 🤦♂️
It is indeed always the way. Maybe usage is a factor? Hence why the crap games still work? Dunno.
