Did anyone play SideWinder and Hybris on the Amiga. These were my favourite games at the time. The game play, graphics and music were just awesome. I used to play these forever and never got board of them.

Never played sidewinder , but Hybris certainly was one of the best shmups on the Amiga.
Pretty cool leveling up and just playing away like a dream.

For the time the gfx were cool too and the music most memorable.

It;s been ar too long since I played this and Battle Squadron...

Do the loops get harder in Hybris?

Oh jeez, I used to LOVE SideWinder

The sheer scenery destruction was something I hadn't seen yet at that point. It really is easy though past the first stage.

Battle Squadron holds up a little better I think. Hybris... I kept just going forever on that one, and the game didn't seem to do anything differently. Maybe I was playing it wrong. (anyone?)

Hybris has an amazing soundtrack btw.

Loved sidewinder on the Amiga .
There was a sequel also I remember but that was pretty disappointing .

Hybris is a classic!! was playing this the other day but could only manage to get a couple of worlds in....played Menace straight after that with a little bit of Xenon to finish!!

hybris has such an amazing soundtrack, one of the alltime greatest.

otherwise I think most of these games have aged terribly.

What do you have to do to advance worlds in Hybris?

^beat the boss.

You might have hybris mixed up with Battle Squadron which is that weird one where you have to go down a hole to advance levels.

Nah, I've beaten Battle Squadron before. But with Hybris, I swear I was on the same level for upwards of 10 minutes. Or maybe all the levels are really similar...?

yeah the first 2 levels are really long and same-ey.

Listen to the first stage music for Hybris... then listen to the game won/game lost sound of Leland Corporation's Ataxx.

Similar basslines, it seems, even though not exact. Someone at Leland might have played Hybris?
