For those of you who had an Amiga (A500 and A1200) like me, this website Recorded Amiga Games will bring back all sorts of happy memories. In my case it not only bought back memories of playing many, many of the games listed on the site, but also showed me the end levels of games I’d never completed.

Amiga classics like The Secret of Monkey Island, Stunt Car Racer, Turrican 2, Alien Breed II and Flashback are all available to watch in their entirety. Most of the videos consist of someone playing each game from start to finish (longplays), but there are several speedruns as well. Also you can either stream the videos (via YouTube) or download them from the Recorded Amiga Games website.

Atlus have just announced that the English language version of R-Type Command will be released in North America on the 6th May 2008. For the first time in the series the action is all turn-based strategy. Tikipod picked up the Japanese version a while back and seemed to like it. Personally, I decided to wait for the English release as the game is a little text heavy.

Some features of R-Type Command:

• Intense strategy gameplay - Almost 100 different units to command
• Control the Bydo forces - Hehe, time to attack Earth!
• Head-to-head local multiplayer - One-on-one strategy battle time

Look out for my review when the US version drops through my letterbox in May. In the meantime you can gaze lovingly at the screenshot below. Ooooh, so pretty.
