    I was looking for gameplays from good old Amiga games. Here's what I found:

    %20Microcosm%20(CD32).mkv"]Microcosm Gameplay

    That intro was mind blowing back in the Amiga days. Awesome, just awesome. The game sucked after all...

    Anyone have some good old titles that amazed you when you were young?

    This blew my little mind way more than anything else at the time. Physics based racing when I didn't even know what physics were. The stunt track was bad ass. Still have the old cart. So good.

    The earliest (and fondest) gaming memories I have are playing things like Dizzy, Magic Pockets, and The Secret of Monkey Island with my dad. I must have been just a few years old and I get warm and fuzzy whenever I think about it.

    Oh god, Banjo-Kazooie. Loved that game so much, easily the Nintendo 64's best platformer IMO.

    Banjo-kazooie was an amazing platformer! Replayed it so many times

    These were also great:

    Dungeon Keeper was fucking awesome as well. Still got both original boxes (Dungeon Keeper + Deeper Dungeons). Good choice Dux.
