Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
Either way just wanted to mention that game, I absolutely loved being able to have the manta’s flying and me boarding the island with the little tank things and throwing a virus into the command centres.
hehe, ok wasted is too hard a word. I still have my Amiga too, a nice little a1200, with “some” upgrades, works quite nicely for 15 year old technology. :)
PS. Carrier Command was awesome, I actually managed to kill the opposing carrier once, got presented with a screen of text! woo. those were the days hehe.
I really have to keep an eye out for these a bit earlier in the day.
Hate to think how many hours I spent on this. One of my housemates was always saying stuff like “fire up Alien Breed!” and I’d say “yeah, in a minute, I just want to see what’s over this way”. After a while, he’d give up and go watch TV :)

Hunter, for the Atari ST or Amiga (can’t be sure :P)
But, yeah, Hunter. It was the GTA of it’s time.

Looks like Carrier command – or does it?

Hunter. On the Amiga. The only game I know of that let you kill a rabbit, from the air, with a 100lb bomb

Yup, it is hunter, even the thumbnail I could see that. So many wasted hours, I spent, on my Amiga 500..

Still “wasting” time on my trusty amiga hehe! =)
I played this one, but never really got very far in it.

Never played hunter, but was glad it reminded me of CC, which got me searching and I found a makeover. YAY!

Ah Hunter, the first ever open world Sandbox game.
God it was awful.

1: Hah. Beat you all.
2: He just ripped the Wikipedia image for the game (either that, or got the exact same image).

And how many other games have windsurfing as a mode of transport? Just don’t fall off when there’s a shark about!

All these years I thought it was called Head hunter, nice to clear that up.
