One of the first images that surprised me about the Agony is this:

The intro screen (right) shows you that you should consider having a high-quality amplifier, and you’d better connect it to your Amiga. These images above introduces you to the game with some of the most remarkable tunes ever made for a game.

After that when the Piano began to play with the Beautiful Music I remember in 1992, I had a very good Stereo Amplifier with a 10 band equalizer per channel, and the Piano sounding was so beautiful that even my mother who is a piano teacher was charmed by the melody.

This is the musical part of Agony

Amazing movements and background 2D scrolling in Agony

Then the game begins with some amazing smooth movements and background that 2D Scrolling so Perfect accompanying with a music at full power that gets you into the game instantly.

At the beginning it seems very difficult but with time every day I played better, until at the end of 1994 I achieved for the first time to be able to finish the whole game, that Happiness for God!
