Not old enough. But I still managed to buy it in the store for the Amiga. I was so impressed.

I had a copy of it in the early 90'ss and played it on my Amiga 1000. Attended copyparties once a week in the late 80's But games from Sierra On-Line and LucasArts were my favorites.

MC wasn't really my jam, too gory for me  here's what I did like playing: Joust, Street Fighter II series, Legend of Kage, Rally X, Rampage, Star Castle; I also had fun with Spy Hunter, Gauntlet and older ones like Pengo, Dig Dug, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong Jr., Galaxian and Berzerk.. anyone remember and maybe even like any of these?

Can't remember if I ever tried; Legend of Kage, Rally X, Star Castle, and Dig Dug, I'm quite sure I never tried Berzerk. They all look cool, especially Legend of Kage. Those screenshots reminds me of the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon -jumping from tree to tree. I remember playing Street Fighter I and II and Double Dragon I and II, and Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, Ms. Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong Jr too. The screenshots of Pengo and Galaxian rings a bell. I loved playing Rampage a lot. My favorit Coin-Op Arcade game became . . . I give up -can't find it. It was a mouse, with a red cape, you would jump/fly around and pick cherries. Likely because it was the only Arcade cabinet in that restaurant in Spain. I found the titel and game again years ago -just slipped my mind for now. It wasn't Mighty Mouse, or Super Mouse, but something similar and close. Edit: I remember -it was Bomb Jack!!!  Gameplay on YouTube Lmao, my childhood memories are ruined -thanks for that! Kid thinks it's a mouse picking cherries. Grown up see actionman and bombs.

Wow, too cool!  I loved all those arcades and the old arcade shop I went to had a ton of oldies that I came to really enjoy, a whole lot, lol! Could you imagine getting to play all those games again? Now that would be so cool, man!  Well, on a real cabinet that is, rather than just using MAME on a Mac or PC! Never heard of Bomb jack, but it looks super fun!

Oh, Bomb Jack! I remember that one too. I just searched the Mac Garden for Bomb Jack and it seems there was no Mac port ever!! wow! How could this happen? @68kmac - it's not an adventure game, but how about porting Bomb Jack for our 68k System 7 Macs? ;-)

@snes1423 looks cool, that would most likely require X. @cballero totally agree @68kmac I tried searching for screenshots of BJ2 yesterday. Also skimmed through several lists of Amstrad games -again just now for a 2nd time. Can you elaborate on the title? -really want to see it Just notice Babarian also got published to CPC -I loved playing that. @Bolkonskij awesome project idea, all resources is at hand. https://floooh.github.io/2018/10/06/bombjack.html source -truncated link https://tcrf.net/Bomb_Jack_(Arcade) https://github.com/martinpiper/BombJack and more... Edit: Duh, it finally dawned on me -you played Bomb Jack 2!

@Bolkonskij Nice try. I wrote a lot of stuff on the CPC in assembly language (it was a lot of fun), my own DOS in 80286 assembly language, plus a BASIC compiler, a C64 game in assembly language, and a bit of 68k ASM on the Amiga and ST. But somehow I never got the urge to program anything on the Mac. I simply don't have enough documentation (I love the old Data Becker Intern books for CPC/C64/PC) and I don't have enough desire.

I loved old Mortal Kombat! I remember when my childhood best friend got it for his Sega Genesis. He was supremely excellent at that game, and I was almost NEVER able to win even a single round against him, although I did manage the feat occasionally, and even a match once, possibly. When I got Mortal Kombat Trilogy for Nintendo 64, I was obsessed with that game for a long time.
