Hello guys the amiga is the best gaming machine right?

I like it, but mainly for demos honestly. Commodore should have made a standard for controllers with more than one button so more games had support for that.

RIP Australia-kun. ;_;

The Amiga was a great machine all around, games were just one thing that it could do on top of a bunch of other things. Calling it a gaming machine wouldn't be doing it justice.

>Australia-kun is actually gone

I'm fucking crying, lads.

>>3618652
Atari did this in the form of allowing Jaguar controllers to be connected, but they were too late. Commodore should have standardized this back when the first Amiga computer was released.

A lot of the games had a big coolness factor and some games which were ported elsewere are best to play on the Amiga (Lemmings or Pinball Dreams series come to mind). However, the games had generally a much poorer polish and overall gameplay quality and balance as compared to SNES or even Genesis games - while an average gamer could beat many if not most significant titles for contemporary consoles with enough patience, the overwhelming majority of Amiga games tended to get stupid hard quite soon, so hardly anyone would ever go on to legitely beat them (this also explains the ubiquitous phenomenon of "trainers" added to cracked copies very often).

There's also the "just one button on the joystick" problem which the platform's games (especially action games) suffered from - for instance, Mortal Kombat ports on Amiga are a joke as it seems random whether your character will punch or kick when the fire button is pressed.

wait he's actually gone? No wonder /vr/'s post quality went up a little bit in the past weeks.

Still, RIP. Guy was very mental, it was obvious he wasn't going to endure it for much longer.

>>3618652
Hardware wise it supports 8 buttons + d-pad, it's just marketing that ruined it.

>>3618653
whats the story with this guy?

>>3618653
Provide evidence of his demise.

>>3618675
>>3618681
Given what I've just had to endure, don't get your hopes up. He probably got a 3 day ban, *at best*.

>>3618708
Bans are worthless nowadays.
Oh wait, this is /vr/, people here are dumbasses.

>>3618692
Yeah, but there was no standard for it before the ill-fated CD32. I know there's some non-CD32 games that support 2-button joysticks, but even those weren't standardized.

>>3618724
Anyone who knows what that pic with the girl is called?

>I know there's some non-CD32 games that support 2-button joysticks, but even those weren't standardized.
There where actually shitloads of 2-button games.
Best is a Genesis controller with A button rewired as UP and B and C being two buttons.

You mean by layout? Button 1 and Button 2 where pretty much standardized by pinout on digital controllers.

It's a long story, but basically guy who used to shitpost in Castlevania threads, always called SCIV shit (Super Castlevania Bros. meme) and saying "New Generations" (Bloodlines for PALfriends) was the best.

He spread to the rest of the board, been behind most PAL shitposts, US bashing, SNES bashing, etc. Despite his name "Australia-kun" and hard Sega stance, he's actually an Amigafag from the UK. His common trademark is posting pics of Tomoko from his phone (image.jpg as the filename) hence the OP, calling everyone "yanks" and referring to his shitposts as "banter." We've all had autism tier arguments at least once with him, deconstructing his """points""" but there's no getting through to him.

I don't think he's related to the "Genesis farts" or /ogg/ guys but I wouldn't be surprised.

tl;dr - cancerous bong

>>3620243
Fanbois suck, be it an amigafag or snesfag.

>>3620186
The only thing X68k had going for itself was it's graphics, in raw power it's doesn't.

>>3620231
>i'm to duuuumb to google

>>3620243

I also always thought /ogg/ guy was australia-kun.

Anyway, supposedly there has been another guy imitating australia-kun, but yeah initially it was the one guy who posted on Castlevania and PAL vs NTSC threads.

>>3620243

>>3621830
for convenience, games come with a builtin preconfigured emulator so you can try the amiga games without setting up UAE

>>3620243
Thank you.

>>3621835
I might be bitching too hard, always used to configure my own emulation.

That's neat though, good for newbs.

>>3620243
So like every other miserable fuck on /vr/?
He's only mistake was he liked Amiga, which of course is a minority.

Of course they bloody will, you cunt!
Besides, C-gah has Haytch Dee quality graphics, mate

>>3621831
That's how SEGA itself pronounced it.
It's hard coded into our minds, every time we turned it on.

Amiga means "a female friend" in spanish :3

>>3622863
It was. As a matter of fact, it was released on the Amiga originally (just as Lemmings) and only later ported to other platforms.

>>3622863
All those games are Amiga originals.

You silly yanks can be so clingy sometimes.

I only ever played Worms 2 and variants of it on later PCs.

>>3623136

I'm not even a yank and australia-kun called me a yank a few dozens of times, kek.

>>3620501
He literally has the same posting style each time, it's not hard to piece together a brief overview when you know who it is. There are imitators but their bait is too obvious.

>>3622871
He's admitted it several times in retaliation to the name, he also posted various Amiga games when asked what he likes and what he thinks is better than X or Y game.

>>3623136
GET HIM!

>>3623146
We could probably insinuate that he likes the Amiga version of Castlevania more than Super Castlevania, and that's why nobody should listen to him.

>>3623127
I think he thought that guy was saying "what? how in the fuck was Worms on the Amiga? come on now, you're bullshitting me!" instead of "how was the quality of this game? worth checking it out?"

>>3623153
That's what I was wondering, how it was like.

>>3623159
How was it retro feel?

>>3623127
Also, Amiga was the only platform (AGA chipset models specifically) which Worms: Director's Cut was ever released on.

>>3620243
Bloodlines is way better than IV though.
>>3622326
It has some really awful ports. Americans/Giant Bomb fans tend to try those out and then write off the entire system.

>>3623526
>he thinks turrican is good

>>3623543

>>3623526
>Bloodlines is way better than IV though.

Bosses and music, maybe. But the level designs suck compared to IV's. Also Texas Belmont isn't as fun to play as Simon IV.

>>3622978
Thanks, that's how pathetic you fags are

why are there so many amiga threads?!

>>3623552

>Bosses

The only boss I really like on Bloodlines is Princess of Mos. The rest feel very uninspired. IV's bosses are far more memorable.

>Music

Eh, all Castlevania games have great music.

>>3624139
>Eh, all Castlevania games have great music.
True, but Michiru's is on a whole other level entirely.

>>3624224
I never got into that first PS2 game, but I'll say that the music in that was quite pleasant to listen to.

>>3623969
There are only 2 right now

>>3624224

She's good but so are the composers for castlevania 1, 2, 3, IV, gameboy titles, etc.

>>3623552
>Bloodlines music is better than IV

Please, tell me you were just playing safe with him.

>>3624238
Outside of Dance of the Holy Man and the remixes, Super's soundtrack is pretty dull.

>>3624242

>Dance of the Holy Man

That's not the name of the actual track you know. Apparently it was a wrong title given by someone on the internet and the name kind of stuck on some rips of the music's id3 tags.
It's bizarre there's still people calling it that

>dull

It has a more somber tone than the 8-bit trilogy, but I wouldn't call tracks like Stage 4 or 6 dull, they're still some of my favorites in the whole series. Same goes for Bloodlines' versailles level music.

The first stage levels always get more credit than they deserve.

Wicked Child is better than Vampire Killer
Mad Forest is better than Beginning
In the case of Simon's Theme, it may be true that the first level (and final boss music) is the best in the game, but that doesn't make the other non-remix tracks dull. Library and treasury too, fucking awesome.

Also, while I love Bloodlines' soundtrack, I was never too fond of the boss music, both mid boss and level boss.

>>3624230
