Just realized my subscription ran out a few months back.

With some regret, I think I'll stop for now, much as I like it. It's quite a bit to spend for a magazine really, especially to get it to Canada.

I wish them well though, it's been a good read.

I'm probably going to skip game 71 in the Top 100 - Shadow Fighter.

I'd been trying to get it loading on the CD32, which eventually led me to realize the laser needs replacing (I tried calibrating first, didn't really solve it).

I have a new one, but am not likely to replace it immediately. In any case, fighting games (of all types) are very much not my thing - so at best I might try out a WHDLoad-ed CD32 version on the A4000 instead, just for completeness.

Or... I won't ๐Ÿ˜

Here's an game not in the Top 100 (though maybe it should be?)

K240
1994
Gremlin Graphics

Owned it for a while, but only just started playing it for the first time, appears to be a great resource management and space colonization game.

Excellent manual too, which for a game like this is essential!

Next up in the Top 100...

72. Inviyya

A game where I can actually show off the boxed goodies! ๐Ÿ˜

Released in 2021, this is a tough horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up which I'm not yet all that good at - but it's very nicely done.

I include a screen grab from Lemon Amiga, mainly because there is no pause key in-game and I can't manage playing *and* taking pictures at the same time ๐Ÿ˜‚

73. Micro Machines

To me this, will always be a Sega Genesis / Megadrive game - and a firm favourite played with four friends (and controllers!)

I'd never played the Amiga version before now, and though it sorta feels non-legit to me due to my comments above, it does play very well. The music seems cool too!

74. Seek & Destroy

Never played this before, though it looked familiar from magazines of the time.

This is the AGA version - and it plays very nicely. I can see why this is in the list!

(I thought I was doing quite well to get to Mission 4 but my lack of an entry on the high score table says otherwise ๐Ÿ˜‚ )

Continuing my Top 100 after a long break...

75. Space Crusade

Never played this on Amiga, and as you can see I am doing really really well.

I wonder if I'll manage to get to the... Oh, okay nope.

Dublin here I come! Itโ€™s my first trip and will be mostly about work. Any chances I can find a store or newsstand that has Amiga Addict? Iโ€™ve heard that itโ€™s possible, but where would I go? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
