Have you played Lost Patrol? Although not a text adventure, you might like the quality graphic "inserts" (although if you're not into the action parts, maybe not). In any case, this is another game that IMO was relatively advanced for the time (graphics and music) - I may be wrong though.durkada wrote: The Pawn, Guild of Thieves -- two titles from the early days of 16-bit gaming. They were text adventures with gorgeous pictures. These games, back in the day, were genuinely stunning -- the graphics were beautiful. It also boasted a robust text parser.

All the other ones I heartily second!
Moonstone doesn't even ring a bell to me, but it may just have passed me by.
I never played Alien Breed 3D but I can't see it being very good - unless perhaps you had a very potent expanded machine? In any case I reserve my judgment from lack of hands-on experience.
Exile is Frontier II, right?
Guardian CD32, if it is what I think it is, simply a good remake of Defender, but hardly defining no?
And as for Gravity Power - such a great game, and I think it was even Public Domain! Multiplayer cave shooter fun, very skill intensive. It's actually quite nice to know someone else in these forums played it
Slam tilt I never played so I can't comment, but I can't see it being better than the other Pinball games (Fantasies in particular is simply amazing).4ppleseed wrote: Slam Tilt

No,I never heard of it. Thanks for mentioning the game. Kinda odd, I think, since my friends who had Amigas all lived on the military base -- this seems like it would have been a must-have title. Of course, my friends didn't particularly like the military, so, perhaps not.
As far as the graphics -- yes, they are decent. I don't know if we could call it technologically advanced for the day, as both platforms have been around for five years and this looks like it was built for the lowest common denominator. Still, what I read suggests this is a true classic -- so, nice of you to add it to the list.
I'll give it a try at some point, certainly!
