Psygnosis Games (Amiga)

Psygnosis was one of the more prolific and better known developers of gaming software on the Amiga. They weren't exclusive to the Amiga as they were well known for the Lemmings series on various platforms, Wipeout on the PlayStation and many others. However, they were one of the first to develop games that really pushed the Amiga hardware as opposed to just supporting the lowest common denominator.

This particular ad is from the December 1990 issue of Amiga Plus and features three games: Armour-Geddon, Obitus, and Nitro.

Armour-Geddon is not one of their better games. Graphics and gameplay are good but there just isn't enough to it despite the unique and interesting plot. You are part of a group that was apparently smart enough to build underground shelters before the nuclear war so you've had it relatively good, at least compared to the people outside. However, those outside survivors are a little upset so they are trying to build a laser canon with which to kill you.

Obitus is an action RPG which starts with you as a history professor whose car breaks down in a storm. You seek refuge in an old tower and wake up in another land.

Nitro is a virtual clone of Sega's Hot Rod but with different tracks and graphics. It is a top down racer that can be played with up to three players.
