Sim City was the game that launched a thousand sequels and put designer Will Wright on the map. Is the original version as much fun as its later incarnations?

Amigos: Everything Amiga is a weekly, wacky exploration of the Amiga scene, current news, and a look at the games we all remember--even those we'd like to forget!

#AmigosPodcast #Amiga #Retrogaming

Welcome to a thought provoking episode of ARG Presents!  This time out, it's Last Games of a Trilogy, and it was NOT an easy one to brainstorm!  First out of the gate, we discuss a few entries and give some honorable mentions, and then we're off and running!  First, has THE BRENT done it again and mined another gem from DEEEP beneath the earth with "Nyet III?"  Then it's time for an epic with Amigo Aaron as we take a DEEEP dive into what's wrong and what's right with Star Control 3!

Switchblade was Simon Phipps' first game for Core Design. Was the Amiga port an improvement over the ST original? All this plus the latest Buffee and PiStorm news on this episode of Amigos: Everything Amiga!

Springster was a CoCo 3 only cart release that has a unique premise but manages to call back to games like Crystal Castles and Q-Bert.

Archon combined the strategy of chess with the action of the gladiators home to Atari 8 bit owners in 1983. Another huge hit for Electronic Arts!
