Best of the Best Amiga Games

[@gumdeo]

This is a really great break down by genre. It's always nice to see Genetic Species again.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks! It would be better if I could actually play it too. It's been years since I saw it live last. :(

[@MarquisDeSang]

Thank you so much for your hard work. I enjoy so much your videos, they are the sun of my life (with videogames, solo-boardgames and my dogs of course). Your video are the best because they show amiga games and I love that you chat with us. This gives a feel that I have a friend with me playing and discussing amiga games, or any games.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thank you! Such kind and unexpected words... I'm glad that you treat it as such, as from my point of view it's exactly like that. My channel is small enough for me to be able to ready every single comment I get and actually respond to them all. And I like the interaction. We're all, after all, a big ol' retro gaming family. I don't have many friends outside of KZbin that I could talk to about retro games as most people don't care about them. And I do, as they are part of what shaped me to be a gamer, a person, I am today.

[@nichttuntun3364]

Fantastic choices and a great video presentation. I have to carve some time and watch your video again and completely. 🎉

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It's a bit older video and I would've made some choices differently but I'm glad that you liked it! :) And since you did, perhaps you'll like this one too. It's a similar concept, but it's not me picking up the games, but LemonAmiga website users: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ-ceHSsn62dicU

Starts with the Flashback intro movie....already a winner of a video.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks! Though my persona favourite is either Settlers or Frontier.

[@naviamiga]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Oh yeah, both great games. I spent a massive amount of time on both.

[@ksauerrr]

Yeah! It is great to see Doman get a recognition it deserves. This game is great. I've played it a lot back when it was released in 1995.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Oh, it's easily the best brawler on Amiga. It may look odd, it may pause every 2 minutes to load something, and yet, it still is the best. IMO at least. :)

[@vitorbonifacio3550]

Worms got me into map making lol

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yeah, I remember playing it to bits with a friend and we made tons of different maps too. I especially remember one which was mostly tunnels. Loads and loads of tunnels. We thought that it was smart and that we would chase ourself around them. In reality the first bazooka shot destroyed our plans, soon followed by a banana bomb. xD

[@williamwright9079]

THE list! Awesome work bro!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks a bunch! I had some second thoughts about the format, and some of the choices but in the end, no list ever is completely objective so I just pulled the trigger on what I landed on. :)

[@Svankmajer]

Thanks, just got a modded Amiga, and mostly knew about the 15-20 games I played as a kid, and was looking for some guide through the rest of the jungle of Amiga games. It seems like there is 1000. This video was very helpful.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Glad I could help! But if you're really looking for an inspiration I have a series called 10 Years of Amiga Gaming (available both as 10 separate episodes and also one over six-hours-long video) covering well over 400 Amiga Games. I'm sure you'll find a lot of fun games to play there. :)

[@Svankmajer]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Thank you. I already found it actually. Great someone made something like this.

PANZA KICK BOXING is the first and the best kick boxing game, I have ever played on my Amiga 500 as a kid back in the 1990's 😺👍🕹️ GOLDEN AXE is one of the best arcade conversions for the Amiga ever. I played it so many times completely, and got the inspirations for drawing the furry comic arts 🖋️🖊️✏️🖍️ 😺👍🕹️. PINBALL FANTASIES is definitely the best swedish 🇸🇪 pinball game since PINBALL DREAMS. I played both of these games on my Amiga 500 everyday 😺👍🕹️. TURRICAN II: FINAL FIGHT - absolutely amazing 😺👍. I still have it for my Amiga 500. There are three of the best space shoot 'em up games, i could definitely play on my Amiga 500: BATTLE SQUADRON, HYBRIS and SIDEWINDER 😺👍🕹️. PANG is one of the best arcade conversions, I have ever played on my Amiga 500. I still have it, and i could play it again sometimes 😺👍🕹️. ROD-LAND is also one of the greatest arcade conversions for the Amiga ever. I finished it once 😺👍🕹️. THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND is one of the best classic point 'n click adventure games from LucasFilm / LucasArts Games 😺👍🕹️. "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, and i want to Be a pirate." 😹👍 THE SETTLERS is definitely a winner on the Amiga 😺👍. I still have it for my Amiga 500, and i kept playing it in the late 2010's 😹👍🕹️. Thank you once again, and i promise to keep playing the original Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 in 2023 😺👍🕹️.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Amiga had so many great games it's difficult to pick just a few. That said, I think those are definitely the best of the best. Could there be a runner up to a runner up? Perhaps, but the video's long enough anyway. ;)

[@SWW_Productions]

Found some fine gems thanks to this video! Excellent stuff! 👍👍

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks for watching! And truth be told it needs remaking as after completing my 10 years of amiga Gaming series I know I would've made some different picks. :)

Do it! Bring in some more Amiga goodness!@@OldAndNewVideoGames

[@MunkiZee]

I won a copy of Push Over in a packet of Quavers, and then I played the game in competition at an expo, I think that won me some more Quavers. Quavers and Ocean Software really had me in their sights back in the day

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

LOL :) That's quite the story. I actually never had Quavers. Were they any good?

[@MunkiZee]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames I used to think they were good, but I haven't had any in ten years now. They're one of those non-potato crisps, corn I think, that are mostly marketed at children. The cheese flavour is quite subtle

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

@@MunkiZee Cheesy and corn-based, got it! I think I may look 'em up online, if they're still on the market. I think I'd like to try them, for science obviously. ;)

[@businesscat380]

How did Sensible Soccer/SWOS or Speedball 2 not win the sports category? 🙈 Jimmy Whites/Archer Macleans is also a million times better than Arcade Pool 😉 So many of my favourite Amiga games MIA in this video...Flashback, Stardust, Super Skidmarks, Populous 2, Syndicate, Carrier Command, Zeewolf Good call on Galaga Deluxe though 👍

[@businesscat380]

...completely forgot about IK+, Mega-lo-Mania, North and South, Wizkid...what a system!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Can't win them all, right? ;) I pondered about Speedball 2 for a little while... It was a runner up runner up. ;)

[@gamingtonight1526]

Played most of these, but on my Atari ST. I think people forget, the majority of Amiga and ST games looked, sounded and played exactly the same way!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Many of the game same then as now did came out on various platforms. They did not always look and played same however. This actually is the case to this day too, but perhaps in a smaller degree. But since I don't wanna push my Amiga agenda here, let's say I agree. ;)

[@nicholsliwilson]

Panza Kick Boxing is a new one for me. Looks pretty sophisticated? Hot take, Golden Axe gets tedious after a while. Come at me, internet! You have no idea how much time my mate Rob & me put in to playing Worms! Actually it was so much no one else wanted to play with us because we just destroyed them, then spent ages trying to defeat each other. I was very, very briefly excited for a Super Frog movie, until you said “& the mystery of fake news” darn you! Pretty sure spikes are everyone’s kryptonite aren’t they? 😄 How predictable are you? Was that a list of possible answers or did you just summon Bloody Mary?! Secret of Monkey Island is a masterpiece. No jokes, just straight up love for a truly fantastic game. Best description of Air Wolf ever! 😂 Genetic Species is a terrible title for an impressive game but yah, you need a serious system to run it well. Great video, thanks. The humour lands for me but arguing with yourself about which game should be first in many categories (& your back story for Lion Heart) does make me worry for your sanity? 😄

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Panza Kick Boxing is amazing, there are like dozens upon dozens of real life kick boxing moves and before each fight you pick a set of few, and those are your moves set for the fight. You have to react to opponents attacks, and make your own strategically. It's a brilliant fighter but since there's no explosions or kill moves, and most fighters are near identical with some minor differences, it never gotten popularity it deserved. It's one of those games that today could've been incorporated as an e-sport. Well, honestly, most beat'em ups get tedious after a little while. ;) Amiga's Worms Director's Cut is Team 17's "farewell, so long, auf wiedersehen, goodbye" game for the Amiga. And it's an exclusive and the best version of the game before the Worms 2 was released. It's better than PC's versions of first title. But I suppose, you as a fan knew about it... Sanity? What sanity? ;) Also, it's probably those voiceovers were not as scripted as my usual are. Just a general thought of what I wanted to say and then I worked around it. For regular videos nearly everything's pre-written. Not 100% of what I say but at the very least 80-ish...

[@ksauerrr]

Superfrog is great. Indeed the best platformer on Amiga. Smooth controls and great colourfull graphics. I love it. There is also a quite good HD PC release.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I could spend hours just going through a whole Superfrog with a buddy of mine back then. We'd switch either when level was completed or when one of us would lose a life. It was great!

[@ksauerrr]

Moonstone and Worms - definitely the best multiplayer games on this system.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It's an old video, but they're definitely some of the best experiences on the Ami. :)

[@cachorrofilosofico]

Thanks 4 the video.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks for watching!

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

I really liked this one. Great games and really really fun delivery. :) This video deserves a bacon like 🥓 Since the bear population in Romania has overgrown, it's important to know when a bear is nearby when hiking in the woods. So being able to correctly identify bear "presents" is a must. :D I bet you don't remember mentioning said bear "presents" while talking about Lotus 2. XD Pinball Fantasies is the best in my books too. :) And my favourite table as a kid was Party Land as well. Nowadays it is a tie between that one and Stones'n'Bones. The latter was added because it really is great and also in memory of my dad, as that was his favourite. :) I anticipated Cannon Fodder winning best in its genre. :) And not because you're predictable. But that game does look like so much fun! :D Speaking of Monkey Island, I've recently learned a fun new piratey word: grogblossom. It means a reddening of the nose caused by excessive drinking. :D Ok, it's not necessarily piratey, but I like to think it is. :) Oh, and I am from the future. I'd take you back with me, but are you sure you're ready for it? All the flying cars, cybernetic implants and food in the form of highly compressed pills? I mean, no bacon... Except for the one on this video.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thank you! Bacon is always appreciated! And yeah, I'm ready, I always wanted to get Johnny Mnemonic or Cyberpunk 2077-like implants. Those kinds of body mods make sense to me. Much more than studs or subdermal implants. xD

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Same here. I don't see the point of studs and the like for myself, but some memory expansion or an extra processor would be cool to have. :D I bet that would also save my eyes from the damage of always fixing on some screen. :)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

@@TeaAndFloppyDisks Kinda makes sense. Everyone, like everyone I know now personally, as in see at least once or twice a month, and not know of or through someone else, has some kind of vision problems. Well, I don't, but all of them do. It may be the screens. Though modern ones shouldn't really be harmful as there are no lamps in them.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames There are still a few factors. For one, the backlight can be tiring if people always keep the brightness on high all the time, instead of adjusting it according to the ambient lighing. I reckon that's one of the reasons for dark mode becoming so popular. And also the eyes focus for very long on one point that is usudlly close range, which can also be very tiring and it happens with other thinks, not just screens. I'd say cherish your good eyesight. :)

Well , best Amiga strategy was Dune 2 ... then Settlers ... Management sims, that's a though one , since this genre has underclasses like Sport Sim\Space Sim\Goods Sim, but mostly all would say Reunion ( also it should be mention that Theme Park on Amiga was a horrible missing features port , compared to the PC version ) ... in FPS well , all will say Cytadela (or Alien Breed 3D) ... Gloom , well it was more a tech demo then a proper fps ... Genetic Species was more a failed project, since they pushed it when the Amiga CD addon to Amiga 1200 was a thing ... And speaking about Amiga Exclusives well ... how about OnEscapee , a game thats 20x better the Another World (some years ago it was ported to PC) ... Super StarDust , the best asteroids clone ever made ... Hunter , the FIRST EVER MADE 3D SANDBOX GAME... Wasted Dreams , a Amiga CD exclusive adventure game that pushed the hardware to extremes ... same with " Code name Hell Squad " another Amiga CD exclusive adventure ... and i could go on and on ...

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I get to learn something new everyday. Thanks! I never even knew about some of these obscure titles. But to be honest games released after 1996 for Amiga I know of only briefly. I moved to PC at the tail end of 1996 and focused on that platform then. But you gave me some interesting titles to check out. :)

Pinball Fantasies was a top, top game when it was released - iconic even, but it hasn't aged really well. I played it a week or so ago for the first time in years - the slow and floaty ball physics especially let it down. Slamtilt is a significantly better game in more or less every way.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I still prefer Fantasies to Slam Tilt but as I said in the video, my nostalgic bias prevents me to see through the mist of my love for it. But when I try (and it's not easy) to look at them objectively, they're more or less equal to me.

[@stanislavdaganov574]

The ball has lightning speed on 100+ Mhz processor, in DOS. Check your emulator. Give the game enough Megahertz.

It's an old video. But frankly speaking, if I had to change things in it, there would be just a few, and I'm not sure It Came From the Desert would be there. It might, I'm just not sure of it, despite it being the very best version of the game out of all ever releasing. Unless I added a "Cinematic adventure" category, but then it would be mainly Cinemaware games there under consideration. It's a tough cookie to crack...

Mercenary III (Damocles series) is better than Frontier II

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It looks interesting, especially that it features interiors as well... Thanks for sharing!

[@arturmical]

I'm suprised Doman got so high since a lot of it has stolen assets (the animations are ripped from Barbarian). But Looking at the fact that my country was deep in the communist occupation back then and we didn't know what "copyright" meant it's understandable.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Frontier - In my opinion, Frontier was an amazing tech demo, but a lousy game. Yo get anywhere without it literall taking years, you have to use time acceleration, and accelerate your ship to a ridiculous speed. However when you encounter a pirate ship, it drops you back to real time, but you're still traveling at around 90 million kilometers a second, meaning it's impossible to maneuver or even decelerate. Space battles are reduced to jousting matches as you and the other ship keep zipping past each other. Unless you lock the autopilot into the ship, and then it crashes into it. Even you start a fight near the station while you're still at maneuvering speed, the combat is nowhere near as enjoyable as it was in Elite. And while the movement of the planets and moons is quite impressive, it makes it virtually impossible to actually pilot your ship anywhere manually, because when you fast-forward time so that it doesn't take weeks to get somewhere, the planet will move from where it was and you'll be left chasing it. So you use the autopilot, which can somehow decelerate your ship instantly upon arriving at the destination, but is just as likely to crash you into the planet as it is to actually get you safely to the base. The domes and other structures on the planets look interesting, but they don't actually exist. You can fly right through them. Also, the blocks on top of the large cargo ships (like the one in the intro) aren't solid either. Then there are the bugs, like the passengers that won't leave your ship, or the solar systems that will instantly crash the game if you try to get info on them. Plus, the game was just unstable in general, at least the copy I had was. I'd load it up every now and then just to fly around and look at things and probably 90% of the time, it ended with the game crashing for some reason. For the record, I didn't care for the Amiga version of Elite that much either. I loved how fast and smooth the graphics were, but it felt simplified and dumbed down from the 8-bit versions. Only one type of space station, pirates are instantly marked as hostile allowing you to snipe them from a distance (in fact, I don't think I ever encountered any peaceful ships), Thargoids attack next to human pirates, and one time when a Thargoid followed me into the safe zone and I shot back at it, the police came out and attacked ME!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

True, and many released for both platforms. And both had their own stronger and weaker points. It was an interesting time to be a gamer.

[@jothain]

On Frontier also big issue was when you decided to speedup game and immeadiate "BOOM, crashed to face of planet with full speed" moments. They got old _really_ fast.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

@@jothain Oh, I actually remember that. But wasn't it only an issue on slower systems? That the display sorta rendered what was happening slower than the CPU calculated, and when it finally catched up (on the speed up) you were crashing? I mean, I had A500, so hardly a beast, but I remember always docking and undocking on all planets by hand. Don't think I've done it cause of this though, I suppose it was because I wanted to "simulate the life in space". This is also the main reason why I played it in the first place, then First Encounters, Freelancer and eventually Elite Dangerous. It's that romanticised idea of surviving in gritty futuristic space. With all good and bad that it entailed.

[@jothain]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Yeah, to my knowledge it didn't happen on PC's.

Superfrog the most overrated Amiga game of all time

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Oh... I so disagree. I've not had as much fun with any other platformer, apart from maybe Fury of the Furries. Loads of hidden areas, fun themes and beautiful design. Superfrog was my most favourite Amiga platformer and is to this day. But, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. :)

Biggest flaw in the game is the blind jumps, and that's basically every jump you make. Atrocious game design imo.
