Default Newbie but not new to amigas!

Hey guys!

I recently signed up having dug the A500 out of the loft, after it was put in there about 10 years ago due to a broken disc drive!, i'm only 23 years old but the Amiga was the first home computer I used, albeit just for gaming! I managed to get an A500 disc drive off ebay brand new, when i got it, it was a slimmer A1200 drive, but came with the necessary raisers, popped it in, and it works flawlessly!

NOW the essay is over..

I have a minor rant, over the years i think our amiga discs have been scattered in diff boxes amongst various electronics etc, i am missing some discs, i have some empty boxes etc, this has really peeved me off..

Another thing I am trying to do, is remember the name of two games, would really be helpful if anyone could shed some light.

The first game was like a racing/chase game, and it had some hill billy music and driving through what i remember as the deep south, there was pickups etc, very vague description.

Secondly was what i think was a puzzle game, it was set in a nice looking house/mansion that looked very posh, again very vague description!

I look forward to reading through these forums

Hi there, welcome back to the Amiga community!

I wonder if the first game you described could be Moonshine Racers?
