Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
One of my favourite Amiga games of all time, Syndicate still holds up today, and I really enjoyed tackling the missions for this longplay recording.

The Amiga version lacks some of the graphics and a few audio samples from the PC version, but it really is a superb conversion when you consider it works on an A500 with 1 MB of memory.

I should note, however, that I the config I used for this reording was actually the A1200. I initially began recording the game using an A500+ config, but the 68000 really struggles in most of the more densely populated maps; it's playable, but it was just too slow for the purposes of recording. The 68020 CPU in the A1200 is far more capable, and while some of the more basic maps run too quickly the extra speed is really needed to get the best experience.
