Nope. That and Speedball II were always standard "settling arguements" fodder.

Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder both excellent games.

Combine the two and you had Cannon Soccer, which I have just found looking through my old discs. A special coverdisc version from Amiga Format.

Oh and I also think Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies are the best of their type I've ever played too.

Brutal sports football or whatever it was called? Injury time was when you had to inflict injury as much as poss. Loved it. Cannon fodder as well a worms and lemmings. And what was the game with the blokes in large coats and mini guns hidden about thier persons?

Another good un but not that one. Usully wandering around in a gang of 4 and armed to the teeth. Must dig the Amiga out and see if it still works.

Hunter was superb too.

i used to love playing syndicate,along with another world,flashback and testdrive 2-the duel.

i sold my amiga to buy my ps2 (i was offered £200 for the amiga and the games,i couldnt turn that down!),im now down to a rubber-key spectrum,a c64,an atari 2600,an un-blemished (and vertually never used)atari 65xe,a chipped ps1,an early 1980's sharp home computer and a powerjoy with 94 built-in games.
