You cant mention Amiga 500 without mentioning Cinemaware.

Rocket Ranger, Wings -completed all 240 odd missions with diskswapping after every mission, It Came from the Desert, Defender of the Crown, Lords of the Rising Sun,TV Sports Franchise..... which were probably a lot less buggier than the crap EA produces.

Defender of the Crown was awesome :up:

And dont mention disk-swapping "once per level" until youve played Final Fight on Amiga 500. 14 times per checkpoint :laugh:

Tapes you tech whore. Such a NES fanboy bias!
The c64 had some cartridge games too. Didn't really play those much though.

I've said before in a post on PN a while ago though, that I think non-console platforms generally sucked for arcade games around about the 16 bit era. Some of my fave games like strider, final fight, r-type (well it was super when snes was just out) etc etc were just much more fun playing on a console. (things like AI were done properly, and generally controllers were better. Finally no more bullshit pressing up to jump.)

How have they splintered the userbase? If it's in regards to the HD-DVD add-on then they haven't. All that does is give people the ability to by a cheap HD-DVD player that utilises the power of the 360, nothing to do with games.
