Download Behind The Iron Gate_Disk1 ROM – Amiga Game

Game Overview

Behind The Iron Gate: Disk1 came out in 1995 for the Amiga, developed by Black Legend Ltd. It was part of that wave of early first-person shooters on the platform, a time when 3D environments were still rough and blocky but full of potential. The game drops you into a sci-fi prison setting, and the goal is straightforward: get out alive.

You control a prisoner navigating maze-like corridors, room by room, in a style reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D. Your main objective is to escape the facility, which involves collecting keys to unlock gates, triggering a self-destruct sequence, and fighting or avoiding guards. Combat uses weapons like stun bolters and rocket launchers, and the game offers four different control schemes to suit various play styles. The pacing is tense, and the level design encourages careful exploration; it’s easy to get turned around in the repetitive layouts. Playing it feels like a tense, methodical race against time where every corner could hide a threat or a crucial item.
