Amiga CD-Sensation: Golden Games


First of all the CD is planted on the same kind of A4 sized cardboard as the Amiga CD-Sensation: Demos Are Forever, and it SUCKS! Where is one supposed to put the CD after it has been ripped off from the cardboard where it is glued on? I am fortunate to have extra CD boxes for just this kind of situation but others..

The text on the back of the cardboard is full off enthusiasm and praising for the compilation like 'the best games programmers demonstrate their ability' and 'this CD represents a highlight of the games industry' and "this CD propably contains all the games you'd ever wanted to play'. HUH! If this is truly the best what Amiga games programmers have to offer I think I am going to get sick.

Many of the games in this CD are pure CRAP, period. There are some fine pearls in it which are actually playable and you may find them very fine to play and there is always the demo versions of bunch of commercial games also. As such this CD hardly represents 'The ultimate games CD' or nothing even near that but then again it is very cheap, so one can hardly expect it to be full of quality games.

Despite what the text on the CD says I think everyone should understand (and propably do) that this doesn't contain 100% 'the best there is' but instead it contains 99% of PD and shareware games which are also available in Aminet but are now put to one CD. I for one am sure that I will continue to explore the CD and I will surely find more fine examples of games for Amiga but with the price of DM 19.90 I do not expect full blown 'Alien Breed 9D XXI' or 'Formula Grand Prix V - 2005' or something like that :). In the meantime I think I'll keep on browsing the CD...
