Wasted Dreams

Wasted Dreams is a sci-fi isometric action-adventure created by Digital Dreams Entertainment for the Amiga and released in 1999. It was one of the last commercial games designed for the Amiga and one of the few released on CD only.

It's also the biggest Amiga game you can download from GamesNostalgia.

The adventure designed by Cvijan & Goran Cvijanović is set in a distant future, where two guys, part of an expedition to find a new planet for humanity, crash land on an alien planet. The settings and the hi-quality cinematic animations will remind you of Flashback: The Quest for Identity. The difference is the view is top-down isometric and not a side view. Despite some shooting (you will have to collect a gun to defend yourself from the aliens), Wasted Dreams is primarily an adventure. You will have to find objects, talk with people and solve puzzles.

If you exclude the terrible voice acting (apparently, the developers didn't have the budget for a real actor, and a guy made all the voices), the rest of the game is excellent: beautiful graphics, nice story, great intro, and -already mentioned- gorgeous animations.

You can decide to play alone or co-op with a friend, which is not so common for an adventure game. In short, totally recommended.
