"Attack of the Mutant Camels"
I googled for the community:

Post by **Shatterhand** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:01 pm

Insects on Space is better than Parallax IMO

The best Sensible Software games were on Amiga though, and they never made a shmup for the system.

I also can't get how people hate Uridium better than Uridium 2... but whatever

Shinichi Chiba · Post by **Shinichi Chiba** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:07 pm

I like Revenge of the Mutant Camels for Commodore 64 better than the original. You get teamed up with a goat which can be controlled by the second player or cpu which is so cool .

Afterbirth · Post by **Afterbirth** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:12 pm

So these are all your favorite?

It says list each developer. I'm 34 so theres a fair bit i've missed.

Your lucky i never started posting stuff by Grandstand and Tomy. But yes - i've loved all these games.

Insects on Space is better than Parallax IMO

I never played Insects in space. By the time i'd moved up from my 26' to C64 i was playing catch up so missed a fair bit.
I was quite young too so couldn't afford much.
