Well, I'm 25, and amiga newsgroups look like if everybody was very old. Maybe
I'm wrong, but as soon as there is a discussion about games, it's always
mainly about adventure or simulation games. Except of a few messages on this
newsgroup, it's like if nobody was playing arcade games. And it's like nobody
reads magazines about games. I'm the only one to talk about recent games ?
Here in France, we've got 4 magazines that talk about amiga games, with a lot
of previews, of tests.... When I see messages about 7 cities of gold... One
year ago I bought Amigaworld and there was an article about the best arcade
games. All the games were very old and they weren't at all the best games
choosen by European magazines the year before (Yes, Amigaworld was about one
year late about the games that were out at this time).

Maybe all arcade fans bought a genesis or a tg-16 ? In Europe, the Amiga is
still the best arcade machine (The consoles aren't available yet). But I'm
sure there are better arcade games on the Amiga than on the consoles. HAVE YOU
TRIED TURRICAN ? HAVE YOU TRIED BATTLE SQUADRON ? HAVE YOU TRIED DATASTORM ?
HAVE YOU TRIED STUNT CAR ?

Hey, tell me what are your favorite games ! I feel so lonely when I see 10
messages about MORIA, about COLONY (The worst game ever made), about all these
boring strategy games.....
