[@karlos1256]

I had an Amiga A500,A500+ and an A600, I loved every moment of them, I was surprised that 'Swiv ' wasn't in the top 20,such a brilliant shoot em up! 🙂

[@Britonbear]

Completing SWIV was probably my greatest achievement in video gaming.

[@1nicelad]

@@Britonbear not sure i completed it but always fun to play with the music

[@KILRtv]

Glad to see Wings on the list, but i thought Defender of the Crown would've been in here somewhere.

[@Jarek.]

As always, every Amiga owner has own favourite list in the heart... For me memorable members of this list are (in random order): a) Civilisation - we were playing this as a group game, each of us got one settler and then established own City. So we could spend time playing "together", b) Ports of Call - I was blown away by the graphics. And still remember bad things which could happen around Cape Town, c) Galaga - don't know but my friends and I spent sooo many hours playing this, d) Hired Guns - oh, it was so scary and dark

[@gumdeo]

Ah, the Amiga. The greatest computer of the 16-bit era.

[@1nicelad]

no doubt

[@morten1]

For sure

[@FatHead1979]

Playing the Lotus Esprit Challenge 2 soundtrack, one of, if not THE Amiga soundtrack!

[@deanholt2135]

Really surprised Xenon2 didn’t make the top 20. But glad to see Alien Breed, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island and Lemmings where all in there. I also liked a lot of MicroProse combat sims like F-15,F19, Gunship and Falcon 4.0. Some of my other favourites were The Lost Vikings, North & South & Mega lo Mania.

[@임수경-o8m]

Medal of Honor , Syndicate , Falcon , Gunship2000 , then there was something like starship galactica a space fighter simulator was also great I played this over and over again and a chess game where they fight when get off the board .....

[@jamesd9630]

I still have my Amiga 1200 in the loft. The games I loved were Gunship 2000, Chaos Engine, Alien Breed 2, Genesia and Zeewolf. Still got loads of games too including Cannon fodder and The Great War 1914 - 1918 etc...... No doubt I will remember more later.

[@Retrohertz]

Look after it. It's worth hundreds; I doubt you'll sell it though.

[@jegjrtp87]

I love The Great wat 1914-1918. My game was called History line 1914-1918. Maybe it was called that in the U.S.

[@darrenc2721]

I still have all my games, like 300 of them sitting in a box all taped up on my wardrobe!!!

[@Vinniebabe]

There are some games that have not aged well on many devices but I feel many of the Amiga titles still hold their own. I still regularly play SWOS, It Came From the Desert, the settlers and Populous 2

[@herdarkshadow834]

Biggest missing game for me is Crammond’s F1GP. It was the reason I bought an Amiga if I’m honest. I played them through to the 4th in the series (which I still play) on PC and they inspired my continuing focus on sim racing today. When I pulled the A1200 out of the loft last yearF1GP was still resident on the hard drive. 🙂

[@TheLairdsLair]

It's strange, because it only got a few votes but since I posted the video loads of people have been expressing their surprise at its exclusion!

[@herdarkshadow834]

@@TheLairdsLair I guess the sim nature of the title made it a bit more niche even though it was bundled with the A600 at one point.

[@deanholt2135]

I was I little surprised too, as it was one of my favourites.

[@DavidMarshall15]

Was thinking this too (plus a few other games). With my brothers we played this, 4 of us, 2 teams. We would run a full race on a Sunday afternoon, with the Saturday prior used for tuning cars. Teamed with my brother who was a sparky and mechanically minded, he managed to tune our cars to go 20-30mph faster than the rest, come race day we didn't as well as expected, kept burning out the tyres. Fascinating sim for it's time. Also loved the way multi player worked with that game, it did seem to somewhat replicate the players skill when the computer took over, if doing well then it might gain a few places before coming round to your next turn. We use to aim for 2.5 laps played before the next person took over, meaning we got around 4 or 5 turns each per race, with the computer driving the rest. OK enough said, as you can see I enjoyed that game.

[@shinyagami8843]

Had an Amiga 500 from ‘87 to ‘97 & played more than 1000 games. Here’s my own little top 5 of games I didn’t see in this list 1. Eye of the beholder 2: temple of Darkmoon (taught me D & D rules before I ever played any 😂) 2. Zak McKraken (my favorite adventure game of all time) 3. Dune 2 4. Dark seed 5. Moonstone (the reason I got the 512kb ram expansion 😂) Those were some good times 👍

[@PureWickedAU]

Moonstone needs to be in ANY top 10/20 list out there...

[@awfullife2407]

Moonstone is amazing man. I grew up like 20 minutes from Stonehenge so the intro used to give me chills as a kid. Defo a couple times walking in the woods at night I got shook thinking I’d be dragged under by a big skeleton monster… to be a kid again!

[@perer005]

A bit unexpected to not see The Settlers on the list, it was way ahead of its time.

[@TheLairdsLair]

If you look at the pinned post you'll see that it was 25th.

[@TheRoggan123]

Settlers was for me one of the absolutely best games of that era, still know all the music by heart. Also UFO was up there at the very top of all time!

[@Plexus37]

Takes me back, had all of them except Wings. Playedthe R-Types, Turricans and F16 Falcon mostly on my own, with friends we played Laser Squad for hours, weeks, months and also World Class Leaderboard.

[@Thunderhawk8472]

What I’m personally missing would be Katakis, R-Type or Apidaya and I tend to like Jaguar XJ220 more than Lotus. Regarding Sid Meier I like his Pirates game more than Civilization. What I absolutely enjoyed on the Amiga been the RPGs from SSI taking Place in the Forgotten Realms or Krynn

[@f.k.b.16]

I don't know how i lived through my childhood in the 80's and didn't have a clue about the Amiga. It really seems more like a machine released in the early 90's.

[@doctorsocrates4413]

I still have 3 amiga500s in their boxes and stored up..i tend to emulate these days but can't beat a real amiga for the true experience...disk grinding and guru meditation screens lol.

[@phil9533]

Dune 2, Football glory (swos with streakers) Putty Squad (but was actually unreleased) Rick Dangerous, Syndicate, Zool, The Settlers, Skidmarks, Benefactor, Beneath a Steel Sky, Walker... to name a few, but so many amazing games. I guess it's what you have the most fond memories of

[@V3ntilator]

Putty Squad were released for free on Amiga 20-25 years later when they released the HD version on consoles.

[@001lessie]

Not having It came from the desert in this list is unfair. It sold the Amiga to me after I saw it running somewhere. Cinemawares masterpiece imo..

[@thecappeningchannel515]

Agreed. It belongs on any Top 5 lists, and had a decent sequel too. Original game was a 1989 smash hit game. And unlike many other games like dune 2 and lucasart games it was not culturally a pc game.

[@illkickyouinthenuts]

All Cinemaware games were great: It came from the desert, Wings, King of Chicago, TV sports, but especially: Lord of the rising sun.

[@RetroPaolo]

This is a great video, but please could I offer some constructive feedback? The text quotes would be far better transposed over the poster/art-work than the over the gameplay footage. As we want to watch the gameplay footage whereas the artwork is static.

[@Chobbito]

I remember I wanted my Amiga after playing 'Super Cars II' at my cousin's on his Amiga 500, that Christmas my parents got a second hand Amiga from the newspaper for Christmas and I lost my mind when it was an Amiga 1200 😄, problem was I found out Super Cars II didn't work on the A1200 😭 Ah well it still became my favourite computer/console and I've had many, I still have it with such great games as the 'Monkey Island' games, 'The Settlers' & 'The Shepherd' (which where my Populus type stratergy favourites), 'Bubble and Squeek', 'Desert Strike' and just so many more creative fun options. What a machine

[@zaziou711]

My personal Top 10 : 10 - Battlechess 9 - Bard's tale 8 - Gauntlet 7 - Port of call 6 - Sensible soccer 5 - Fairy Tales 4 - Stunt cars 3 - Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis 2 - Defender of the crown 1 - Day of the tentacle

[@RubberDuckHarry]

Chuck Rock was probably the one I spent most of my time on back in the day. Good times!

[@16bitlegit74]

I still have bags full of Amiga games in the attic. Pure nostalgia.

[@naviamiga]

Chaos Engine, Worms, Stunt Racer, Cannon Fodder, all amazing games. Great seeing all the different games that people loved on the Amiga.

[@andykay8949]

Inherited an Amiga 500+ from my stepbrother and played it a lot in 95-96. Some games of interest: - Lemmings - Civilization - Sensible Soccer - Prince of Persia - Falcon 2 - K240 (known as Fragile Allegiance in PC world) - TItus the Fox

[@WilliamFisk-nf9qy]

My personal Top 10: 10. D-Generation 9. Syndicate 8. Monkey Island 1& 2 7. Project X 6. Dyna Blaster 5. Rainbow Islands 4. Turrican 2 3. Alien Breed: Special Edition 2. Speedball 2 1. Sensible World of Soccer

[@roboticbaboon3125]

DynaBlaster! It was so addictive and fun! I thought it was almost as innovative and geoundbreaking as Tetris, Boulder Dash, Pacman or even Snake :)

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

Wings was one of my favourite Amiga games. I really enjoyed the story in it.

[@jackbilger6858]

A remake of it is available on Steam.

[@paulbanting6615]

Great list! but notable missing games for me are Crammonds F1GP series, Syndicate, The Settlers and Supercars 2!

[@raymoreton3184]

I loved my Amiga that I brought as a teen for myself I think it might been one of best purchases, the music on the games is just incredible if you hook up to a good sound system and whack the sound up just makes it better, I did love bitmap bros games the sound there was stunning, I had a 500 back in the 90's these days I have a 1200.

[@thefonzkiss]

* bought

[@weskal5490]

Definitely a great list. Games which I used to love playing but didn't make this list at least, in no particular order are; Dungeon Master & DM Chaos strikes back Hired Guns Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2 Black Crypt Captive Elvira Mistress of the Dark F19 F15 strike Eagle Damocles Starglider II Armour Geddon Geoff Crammond's F1 Grand Prix Cybercon III Superfrog Fire & Ice Castle Master Frontier Heroes Quest Conquest of Camelot Warmonger Cadaver In all honesty I can't think of a single game I didn't enjoy on the A500. It was so ahead of its time.

[@mikehunt9884]

lol stunts racer was so much fun, i remember making a really long square track with just one jump to see how fast and how high we could jump the car

[@willrobinson7599]

Loads of games I loved back in the day. Still play several now

[@stunthumb]

LOL the sequel to Chaos Engine is not 'equally good' - it's an abysmal game :D - easily the worst Bitmap Bros effort.

[@leelangley3705]

I like to think he was taking the piss when he said this…..surely ;)

[@walmartcartpusher]

I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I never owned an Amiga. Closest thing I grew up to one (because of the processor) was of a Macintosh Quadra 605. A friend of mine had the OG Worms for Macintosh and I had Lemmings. I have very fond memories playing both.

[@urbannestrealestateteam307]

What was amazing about Lotus Turbo Esprit is that you could have two Amiga's connected together and play 4 players at the same time. As well, Gauntlet (or perhaps something similar) could have 4 players with two on the keyboard.

[@TheLairdsLair]

You could also link an Amiga to an Atari ST to play it too!

[@steven-vn9ui]

Nice list, I enjoyed Super Cars I and II very much as well as Stunt car racer.

[@henriklarsson7770]

Kick off 2? Dune? Gods? Monkey island 2? Moonstone? For me, kick off 2 would make top spot for the best game on any system i have played i think. Of the games in this video, wings would absolutely make my list. Lotus esprit challenge too, speedball 2, monkey island and maybe pinball fantasies.

[@simon8864]

It took me ages to save up the £399 to buy an Amiga ....I also got the 512k expansion card taking it up to a massive 1Mb! Would have loved a HDD but couldn't afford one

[@MichaelSalo]

My experiences were much more on the fantasy RPG side. Defender of the Crown, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, D&D gold box games, Sierra adventures, and Ultima part VI (last one on Amiga).

[@benonemusic]

Enjoyed the list and it helps me discover Amiga games I missed back in the day. I am kicking myself for forgetting to include Earl Weaver Baseball when I voted. It would have been my #2 choice after Wings. Maybe others have remembered it and perhaps it will show up in the top 40. As someone in the U.S. whose favorite team sport is baseball, Earl Weaver was the best computer baseball sim to date. Included many firsts such as the ability to play an entire season, the inclusion of different ballparks whose dimensions affected the gameplay and speech synthesis for announcing the players. Loved the managerial advice that Earl would provide as well.

[@TheLairdsLair]

I've never even heard of it and nobody else mentioned it either!

[@benonemusic]

@@TheLairdsLairit’s understandable that you wouldn’t have heard of it outside the U.S. It was an Electronic Arts game and a passion project for those involved including Trip Hawkins who is a big baseball fan.

[@gumdeo]

The design-a-ballpark feature was so advanced.

[@benjaminshiels1824]

Awesome vid mate. Thoroughly enjoyed it, really took me back to th late 80's n early 90's wen my cousin would visit from Sydney n bring his 500 with 1 meg chip with him. Huge fun but I was surprised that game's like Barbarian 2, Lost Dutchman's mine, It came from the desert and RoboCop 3D weren't mentioned! 🤔👍

[@blackhat4968]

Populus, Civilization, Pirates, Microprose Stealth Fighter(F19?), Lemmings, Settlers, and F15 were some of my favorite games.

[@andrewbrown6786]

F19 was an F117 simulator that caused an awful lot of intense discussion in the Pentagon - due to the number of similarities to an (at the time) aircraft that did not officially exist. I always preferred ‘Fighter Bomber’

[@aero2zero]

HUNTER! Thanks for mentioning that game. I remembered that, but forgot its title.

[@paulvincent9773]

your intro music is the best !

[@stevenross-watt8640]

#15 blood money intro muaic is the ring tone on my phone. Love that intro. Always answer the phone a few rings later just to enjoy the tune

[@TheLairdsLair]

Yeah, such a good tune!

[@simon8864]

Xenon2 was awesome Also..... Mega-lo-mania Rainbow Islands Silkworm and SWIV

[@ArttuTheCat]

So many legendary classic games for the Amiga 😺👍🕹️. I believe, i still have POPULOUS for my Amiga 500. AGONY and SHADOW OF THE BEAST inspire me to draw my own furry comic arts 🖋️🖊️✏️🖍️. Me and my friends should SWOS again this year 😹👍🕹️🕹️🕹️🕹️. Thank you 😸😺👍.

[@Sage.....]

Moonstone and lure of the temptress were my favourite

[@rossmcdonald991]

Hired Guns.. Settlers.. Monkey 2.. Eye of the Beholder 1+2.. Wing Commander.. UFO Enemy Unknown.. Beneath a Steel Sky.. What a rich gaming library and what a misspent youth I had.. 😂

[@V3ntilator]

Putty Squad full game were released for free on Amiga a few years ago and requires AGA.

[@GandaMelgao]

I didn't voted because It would be impossible to me to choose the best. There were SO MANY great games on the Amiga.

[@benjaminshiels1824]

I could make a top 20 list featuring NONE of those games! Lol

[@nicholasphillips6166]

Glad to see Hunter on the list, amazing game for the time. Would also rate: Heimdall, James Pond 2, F29 Retaliator, Hired Guns, Pang, Eye of the Beholder 2. Crazy there is not a fighting game on the list, considering how popular they were at the time. Guess the Amiga was not really suited to them...

[@definitelyhexed]

Stunt Car Racer was the first multiplay game - I would hook two Amiga's together and play my brother!

[@TheLairdsLair]

At a retro event some years ago I connected my ST up to my friends Amiga and we played it over link up!

[@stevealino2899]

Hired Guns by Psynosis is my all time favourite, I used to jump out of my skin when a skeleton suddenly appeared to my side and started to attack me, the music and sound effects were awesome and quite a few of them ripped off from the Aliens movie. I finally completed the game last year, 30 years later! Lol

[@Jarek.]

After all these years I still remember overwhelming and dark atmosphere of this game... And crazy amount of disks with even more crazy algorithm of swapping them through the game...

[@greentonythetig]

I still have my A500 and play it regularly, one of my favourite games is Speedball 2. there was a helicopter game i enjoyed playing with a great intro where the boss says "And the pilot?" "One of our finest sir." if somebody could help me there, i would love to play it again.

[@Britonbear]

Carrier Command and Dark Crypt were two favourites of mine not mentioned.

[@johnsmyth3281]

Um dungeon Maste is my fave as is, Bomber/Scramble, Wings though it fails as the game is corrupt, or my legagl version is, Apprentice and the little known FLOOD - superb!!!

[@xxnoxx-xp5bl]

Going to have to push back hard on The Chaos Engine having a great follow-up. Chaos Engine 2 was pants.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Fair enough, I enjoyed it.

[@StuartHollingsead]

The only game I had on this list was Lemmings. My favorite games were, Rockford, Aunt Arctic Adventure, Nuclear War, Sky Chase, ball, mega ball, tetris, Elf, Duck Tales, Atomino, Huey, Arkanoid, FA/18 interceptor, Great Giana Sisters, Llamatron, And one game that I can't remember the name of. Space travel missions to different planets. If you completed all the missions you could submit it to the company and they would send you a framed certificate. edit I remember the name now, The Halley Project.

[@1teamski]

One of my most favorite games that doesn't get enough credit is Warlords. I loved that game!!!

[@paulwilson9807]

1. Kick-off 2 2. Xenon 2 3. Player Manager 4. Civilisation 5. SWIV 6. F1GP 7. Lemmings 8. Stunt Car Racer 9. Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 10. F/A 18 Interceptor KO2 was waaaay better than Sensible Soccer!

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Some of these games still have an almost "homebrew" look to them, despite being both professionally-made and appearing on an all-time top twenty.

[@mehallica666]

Can't believe Flashback didn't make it. Amazing game.

[@daviddavies3637]

I've never owned an Amiga but the Atari ST version of Sensible Soccer was a good game I spent a lot of time playing. However, there was an exploit that allowed you to rack up big scores. This was simply position your player perpendicular to the extreme edges of the goals. Because there was no "slicing" or miscues of the ball, as there is in FIFA, a straight shot from there always resulted in a goal. Blood Money is a game I owned on the ST. Never completed it.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Yeah I was an ST guy and had those games also, I quickly worked out the Sensi technique too.

[@BigBoyJudge]

I’m looking for an old game I had the chance to play when I was a kid on my parents computer at the time. (Between 1998-2005) It was a game where you had to answer 100 random questions of various topics ( math, science, geography, ect) and the visuals where WILD! Like imagine taking a blank face and then adding two different eyes a nose and mouth and all those features looked like they were snipped images made to look animated by taking a different eye that looked closed closed but it was different from the original and no feature was symmetrical with another. Sometimes they still had a white outline around each image of the eye or nose to emphasize it didn’t belong to the face it was animating. Well that’s the best description of what the animation looked like, but all the questions asked where random so you were never guaranteed that you would run into all the same questions each time you tried to complete a run. At the end it gave ya a score at the end depending on how many answers ya got right and a special animation associated with how well ya did. I wish I knew the name of the animation I’m trying to describe but the closest example I can give is an old show on nickelodeon called angela anaconda.

[@raggeragnar]

Wonderful machine , indeed. Still play mine from time to time. Never liked any form of side scrolling games though. They were all played out for me on the arcade machines the years before. You know; climbers , shooters and fighters.

[@menhirmike]

Huh, surprised by some games on the list, and by the absence of others. It's good to not see Xenon 2 because truth be told: If you take away the Bomb the Bass intro song that we all remember, it's just an average shooter. Surprised to see Shadow of the Beast though, because it's IMHO also just an okay game, but it is undoubtedly an Amiga classic. For me, the top 5 would be The Settlers, SWOS, Syndicate, Dune 2, and Fate of Atlantis - but I had to think a lot about what's on 4 and 5 because there are so many great games for the system.

[@johnnyutah892]

Some great games on there, some of my favourites, although I preferred alien breed 2 if I’m being honest. I think syndicate was a brilliant game, as was SWIV, and settlers and settlers 2. I also loved Leander and Uridium 2.

[@d0nKsTaH]

Settlers 2 came out for Amiga? I never knew that.

[@digitizer3627]

This is an awesome list even though I didn't vote for alot of them❤❤❤. The way I voted was which games did I keep coming back to play or kept at it till I finished it. I did not vote Xenon2 because even though it had the best graphics and music I found the playability and controls to be terrible.

[@ledsvik]

I remember buying Shadow of the Beast. (Yes, some games I actually paid for.. lol) I got a awesome t-shirt included in the box. Used it at the picture day at school when I was about 14 😀

[@KILRtv]

I bought it. Loved the music. Couldn't play it worth a damn.

[@harryproctor3046]

About time Alien Breed got a modern re-release/remake from Team 17.

[@sambranton3346]

I couldn't make a top 20, many of the games that were groundbreaking in their day havnt held up against time, many others I played to death in my childhood don't hold the same appeal when I load them now. It also depends what kind of games you like, strategy games were and still are my favourite type, some games like that in the amuga I still play. I loved the adventure games but they are no fun to play after you have completed them. Honestly I could do a top 100 games and still miss many titles out that deserve to be there. I love the amiga and the way it's games were presented and played. I was heartbroken when commodore went bust. The amiga was ahead of its time in so many ways.

[@bioshock6935]

Flashback 7. Bonk junior. unbelievable fun to play. 8. Octamed 9. Prince of persia 10. Monkey island. i also want to point out. Amiga had alot of awesome arcade titles wich are forgotten. strider wonderboy in monsterland Final fight

[@smakfu1375]

Shadow of the Beast is still the masterclass in copper list programming.

[@gordonblues843]

Pre-amiga computers were a little too limited. Post Amiga computers became spoiled. Amiga was the pinnacle of home computer gaming IMO. Still had that pioneering charm, but with capabilities that were proficient enough for enjoyable experiences in pretty much any genre you can think of.

[@peterpereira3653]

Kind of surprising result at number 1 position Lemmings. An array of custum hardware in an Amiga. And top spot is a video game that could have easily been done on an 8 bit machine.

[@TheLairdsLair]

And it was ported to loads of 8-bit machines, even the ZX Spectrum got a version!

[@danyoutube7491]

'easily have been done on an 8 bit', you think? They did have 8-bit conversions but I've just looked at a couple and they were clearly very limited in various ways compared to the 16-bit versions. The 16-bit machines is what it was made for, where the hardware was good enough to do it justice. Street Fighter 2 was ported to 8-bits as well!

[@definitelyhexed]

Turrican II had the best soundtrack of any game in history.

[@Karl-Benny]

Had the Amstrad 128 Great machine bought the amiga then sold it after three months and bought second hand PC 468 dx55 had Doom installed never looked back

[@GCSoundArtifacts]

Thanks for putting my long comment about The Secret of Monkey Island on the video...! Hahahaha... Yes, I truly missed Flashback on the list, but I believe that there are two reasons why it isn't in the Top 20: 1 - the Mega Drive version makes you feel that the game belongs there; 2 - Another World begins with intensity and excitement... but with an amount of difficult that makes you think, "yeah, it should be easy to get rid of the blood-sucking stuff!"... After all, you begin almost dying! This is GENIUS! Whereas in Flashback the most intense moments in the beginning are reserved in the cutscenes, not on the real beginning of the game, that may drag those with ADHD down... Also, I knew that The Chaos Engine would made the Top 20, it's an awesome game, best performed on the Amiga really! Not regretting not putting in my Top 5 really... 😅

[@dovpauzner5093]

I will add that the Amiga 500 could be connected to another Amiga 500 via a self-made cable and played not only against the computer, but also against another player. This is how my son and I played Wings for example.

[@TheLairdsLair]

You can link an Amiga to an Atari ST too, I've played both Lotus 2 and Stunt Car Racer that way.

[@grinbrothers]

Fantastic to see the results of your community question so soon. I'm curious to see if any of the games I mentioned will make the list and hoping so. 0:32 - Huh, I didn't know the Atari 8-Bit was so popular. When you said 8-bit computers, my thoughts immediately turned to the battle of Commodore 64 vs ZX Spectrum so Atari 8-Bit was a surprise. 3:05 - Not my type of game but gosh darn do I love Populous' style. The open book to the side is an amazing presentation touch. An interesting start but an understandable choice given how genre defining I've heard it is. 3:43 - Love the DICE joke here; incredible the roots of the company. I don't believe I've ever played Pinball Fantasies before, but given I voted for and adored Pinball Dreams, I imagine I'd love the sequel here. Glad to see some pinball presence on this list. 6:04 - Really; the only shoot em up? They seemed to common on the older systems that I expected more to appear here. I've not played Blood Money but the orange helicopter is a wonderful stand-out choice of vehicle. 10:26 - Oh wow; I'm featured in this video. Thank you so much! It's no surprise that Worms made it onto this list; one of the Amiga games still going strong to this day. 10:51 - I only played Stunt Car Racer recently thanks to the A500 Mini and tried it out of curiosity. I never expected it to be as fun as it was. 12:01 - People tend to be a bit more critical about Shadow of the Beast these days, so I'm surprised it made it so high up on this list and with neither of it's sequels in sight. I believe there was a PS4 remake a little while back; how did that turn out? 15:43 - Off the top of my head, no Zool was quite the surprise, alongside the general lack of shoot em ups.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nozzer2002]

i remember 'wings' brilliant game for the time !

[@andisadler2897]

Jimmy Whites snooker! or Rick Dangerous. Class of 89-93.

[@NibblyPig]

Gravity Force II / Gravity Power not even in the top 50 :( IIRC Amiga Power rated SWOS and GF2/GP their two best games of all time. It was probably the game that we played the most.

[@SullySadface]

The Cannon Fodder OST is good. I never knew half of those had lyrics until like last year

[@NibblyPig]

Most people don't know that it also had a full motion video of the developers, released only on the CD32 either! Check it out on youtube!

[@reyalPRON]

hunter... ah man, my eyes became green at a point i think. any1 else find the helicopter too?

[@disdroid]

Speedball 2 was my favourite

[@rayrecordings]

Loom ! Maniac Mansion and Day of The Tentacle!

[@niklasohman5021]

I miss Dune2 on this list wich is the first really good RTS-game I played. The game must have surely inspired coming greats as Command & Conquer and Star craft.

[@davidbarth80]

How is Apydia not made the list? Insanely good game

[@justice4g]

played all those but we played multiplayer Settlers 2 more than any other

[@kalsolarUK]

How Blood Money got in rather than something like Silkworm is baffling. Blood Money looked and sounded great but was a very difficult game, whereas Silkworm was an absolute joy to play. Populous 2 was also a much superior game to Populous

[@williamhozie5651]

Very surprised that The Killing Game show didn't make the list. One of my all time favorites on the Amiga.

[@TheLairdsLair]

Didn't get a single vote.

[@ReneBerwein]

...and "Eye of the Beholder", "Elvira ", "Dune II", "Legend of Kyrandia" and "Lure of the Temptress"...
