Ork Attack: the Return for Amiga

One of my favorite games of all time is Ork Attack: the Return for Amiga.

It's a PD/Freeware game written by Ian West and Jonathan Eggleton. One of the cool things about it is that it was written in AMOS Basic.

The graphics and sound are perfect. I get a kick out of the ending screen where the Ork King says "You can never defeat my kind!"

The play mechanic is genius and has this magic combination of panic and frustration that keeps you playing.

I came across a video by someone who can really play this game. I never even knew there was a dragon.



It's a remake of another game called "Orc Attack"



JimBob liked it so much he made a remake:
