Great list, but I would add: Xenon II (for the music and walkman-listening-alien merchant, if nothing else), Powermonger, Populous, Kick Off 2/Sensible Soccer and (in the vein of ICFTD) I always enjoyed Rocket Ranger. I know it's very niche, but for me, a must-have is Balance of Power - such a detailed and mind-blowing strategy game. Thanks for all the work.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

This is a great list. So many memories. Although I'm mostly a console gamer myself, my older brother had an Amiga when I was little, so some of my earliest gaming memories were of Amiga games. I still love revisiting the Amiga pretty often. It has a lot of games that don't really fit neatly into any single traditional genre and were really creative, and that's what makes this system especially fascinating to me. I'm always happy to see KZbin channels putting out microcomputer content out there. It's a part of gaming legacy that definitely should not be forgotten.

[@ickbar]

Fantastic list! Loved nearly all of these without hesitation during the days of Amiga.

[@mgodoy-br]

I think is great you cover these classic games. I've never seen a Amiga, or Commoder 64, because they didn't came to Brazil. It'd be me nice seeing a video showing the device and talking a little bit more about them. I know that they were very popular in Europe back in 80's.

[@soylentgreenb]

In a way they were mid between consoles and PCs. The consoles were closed systems; it was difficult to get development hardware, you had to develop on different computers than the target system and it was all based on acceleration of special functions; very little was done in pure software. There was extremely little RAM on console, so all games ended up arcadey and immediate. The Amiga and the C64 were true home computers that you could program to do anything you were proficient enough to program; but they were also hardware accelerated like consoles were. The amiga had a BLIT (BLock Image Transfer) that accelerated the drawing of level graphics with effects like transparency and some hardware sprites. It also had a sound chip. The PC had a high resolution display, oodles of memory, a descent processor, cost more than a human kidney and didn't have any acceleration of anything; if you wanted to draw an image, the processor loaded each individual DWORD into memory and wrote it back to graphics memory. It took until 1992 before the PC had become so powerful in software as to obsolete hardware acceleration precent in the amiga 500.

[@mgodoy-br]

@@soylentgreenb Pretty interesting. I love trivias of classic devices came from who knows them.

[@Ianchaytor]

I live in Brazil now, but grew up in the UK. I was lucky enough to progress through the Commodore computers. I had a C16, then a C64 then an Amiga 500 and then an Amiga 1200. I had a brilliant childhood playing all these games and back then it was more about fun than graphics. Today's game creators should learn something from this!!!

[@danmakuman]

I never played on an Amiga computer back then. Here in Mexico was basically non existent but since I knew about it I always being intrigued. I think the first thing I knew about it was the awesome music those games had and how the are so different to what japanese consoles had at the time. Of course time passed and now I know more about this awesome computers from back then, played some games myself on emulator and have a love for those systems, specially the Amiga an C64. You guys had amazing games with great soundtracks. My fav Amiga games are Apydia, Turrican II and Another World. So glad channels like this one exist to learn more and more about those incredible games. I'm sharing some of my experiences with the games on a Facebook page I have, with some music, box art and gameplay of games I like from the Amiga. Great video as always!

[@henhouseharry6193]

Nice list. Other great Amiga games: Dungeon master Denaris Kick off 2 Nebulus Killing Game Show Alien breed James Pond: Robocod Formula one grand Prix Jimmy White's whirlwind snooker Blood money Carrier command

[@thorham1346]

+1 for Dungeon Master.

[@markschmeits3702]

Loved kick off. Amazin game. Dino dini =)

[@Lambonights]

Elite II is what I spent much of the 1990s playing. A whole galaxy on a single floppy disk, seamless space to planet surface landing with no loading screens. Still an awesome game and my top pick. Loved Civ 1 and UFO, two essential great games in every Amiga owner's collection, Colonization deserves a mention too. The Ishar series and Robinson's Requiem were wonderful RPGs, the Dungeon Master and Eye Of The Beholder series and Black Crypt had the dungeon crawlers covered. Best flight sim for me was F117A, although TFX pushed it very hard when CU Amiga gave it away for free. K240 was another great strategy game set in amongst asteroids. And to finish, Sim City 2000, the city builder, nothing, even today, can match it.

[@spart361]

Frontier: Elite II was an epic game back in the day

Great upload it brings back some good memories of back when games where complete with what seems like very game breaking glitches unlike today.

[@Urre5]

Dune 2 IS officially the grand-daddy of command & conquer considering they're both made by Westwood. Not sure why you'd prio listing the publisher over the developer in any of the cases, it's quite confusing. I realize publishers were more hands-on back then, but it's still the dev who puts the soul into any game.

[@oldstylegaming]

It's just the format I have always used sorry.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

You're right, if any game was being made by Westwood or Bitmap Bros etc then you knew it would be good, the publisher didn't mean squat back then.

[@curtisnewton895]

there were games like that before dune 2

[@chrismortimer4068]

Awesome, I never had a amiga, but had 2 friends that did, was cool having disk drive time instead of tape like on the C64, loved a game called Zool, was kinda like a sonic type of game but with chubba chubb sweats. Also speedball 2 amazing game, I hate sports games in general, but the manager/rpg type element made it so addictive!!!

[@Lucasrainford]

Even met the Bitmap brothers, such great times. 🙂 Best Amiga games for me though are Dune 2, kickstarted my love for RTS, Stunt Car Racer and special mention to Alien Breed.

[@jaysmith2858]

Powermonger was very good. I still remember the sounds of a cannon being built interrupted by the sound of sheep.

[@skideric]

Loved Sword Of Sodan,still got all Orig Game,etc

[@treksterjsc]

@@skideric Loved Sword if Sodan. I remember when I first started playing it I was blown away by the music and the huge sprites!

[@005AGIMA]

Great list! Agree with so many. Off that list I'd probably argue Stunt Car racer was my fave. We used to play 1v1 via a home made 12 foot long RS232 cable. Subbed btw.,

[@davidprosen5637]

We did Amiga vs. Atari crossplay!! 🙂

[@waynekerwin8891]

Great to see all them classics I spent my youth on.. there’s loads more great games out there still 💪

[@perperikis5501]

Can't believe that they are not in the list: Venus the Flytrap Wrath of the demon Shadow of the beast series Kick Off 2 Formula One Grand Prix (from microprose) Lure of the temptress Beneath a steel sky Loom ...OK I see the problem now. There can be no such thing as a "30 best amiga games list". They are simply too many - need a bigger list.

[@gdn2705]

Them Microprose F1 games where great.

[@oldstylegaming]

Yeah that is the problem....I did a top75 before but it's too much of a marathon to voice over ...all great games though that you mention

[@perperikis5501]

@@oldstylegaming hehe indeed, more than a problem. Almost an impossible task :) I know I couldn't make such a list, even as a current owner of an Amiga and having the entire game library available. They are thousands...

[@10MARC]

Shadow of the Beast is gorgeous and sounds incredible, but the gameplay is just not the world's best. I still love the games, though

[@perperikis5501]

@@10MARC That's true about SOTB's gameplay. However, it's amiga's most iconic game due to its technical superiority, a real demo of the machine's capabilities e.g. every non-amiga user was drooling over it back in the days :) Commodore itself admitted they owed a big part of the amiga sales to this game - that alone is incredible. Regarding the gameplay itself, SOTB 3 was not that bad.

[@MrDflego]

I liked Kick-Off more than Sensible, nobody talks about Kick-Off. Badlands was a good arcade conversation, Ninja Warriors and Swiv. Xenon 2, there where so many.

[@jaysmith2858]

Kick Off (I had KO2) took a lot more skill to play than Sensible Soccer.

[@macman975]

Kick off was by far and away the best football game back then.

[@towerbridge04]

Great work mate. Wings, Rocket Ranger and ICFTD were my 3 fave Cinemaware games on Amiga, but understand the inclusion of DOTC - it was an iconic release. Slam Tilt was my number 1 pinball game!

[@oldstylegaming]

Cinemaware made great games there's no doubt about that..I always had trouble taking off in Rocket Ranger though lol

[@towerbridge04]

@@oldstylegaming Yeah it took a bit of practice, but I never struggled too much. The more lunarium that was loaded into the jetpack (for the longer journeys) the more steps were required to take off. If I recall correctly, the screen broke in half during the game completion end credits, and an alien appeared. It caught me completely unaware the first time and I died. Couldn't believe it!

[@Lucasrainford]

@@towerbridge04 RR should've deffo made this list imo. It was a awesome game! I remember I had a copy so I had to copy all the data of the copy protection wheel (my m8 bought the game) I remember too I sussed out the 'random' rocket parts locations. Depending on where your agents where located at the start the parts where always in the same location. The graphics and speech were top notch! The story was like a Indy film with some great sections and yeah! the ending got me too! One of best games on Amiga imo :)

[@TRX303]

Good choices. I'd put in Dynablaster, Lionheart, Mr. Nutz, Tiny Bobble, Parasol Stars, Shufflepuck Café, Fightin' Spirit, Zeewolf 2, Desert Strike.

[@Sc-hh7nr]

How can you forget x-copy?

[@thegreathadoken6808]

Oh, X-Copy. The unsung hero of the Amiga. When will you get your due respect?

[@Dragonblaster1]

UFO: Enemy Unknown Eye of the Beholder Beneath a Steel Sky Populous II Theme Hospital Worms

[@RZPPAA]

I didn't know Theme Hospital was on Amiga!!!

[@Sytanya]

battle isle definately also deserves a spot in the top 20-30 :)

[@smalon75]

@@RZPPAA It wasn't, Theme Park was though.

[@RZPPAA]

Steven Allen cheers sir!

[@TroupeGoal]

Lovely stuff, so many classics. I've fond memories of Lost Patrol also, a Vietnam game.

[@ikeyasector]

I'm the type that I never cared much for shooters, but Hybris and Battle Squadron are among the few I really like.

[@MarquisDeSang]

Favorite game : Shadow Of The Beast and Mercenary 3 (Damocles 3)

[@diegosclama1265]

Kick off 2

[@dah72007]

I absolutely love your videos man! , Awesome!

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks mate

[@gdepedro5695]

Great video! I also liked Xenon, Menace, Sidewinder, Speedball 1, Bomb Buzal, etc.

[@ollieduracell]

Big fan of most of these games and still play them today to be honest. Another game that I still love (which didn't make the list) is K240. I always thought that was/is an amazing game, although never makes it to any lists 😂

[@oldstylegaming]

I honestly have never played that...I'll fire it up tonight and check it out :-)

[@ollieduracell]

@@oldstylegaming if you like real time strategy then it's right up there personally. it can be confusing to start with but once you've figured it out, it's fantastic

[@CTFC-GERMANY]

great little video as allways! Thank you!!!!! :)

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

When I seen north and south!! Christ. What a timewarp. We would play this straight after school as our warmup!

[@nickraf1212]

Defender of the Crown is one of the game I finished (but even playing it several times, I couldn't finished it every time). It has something particular which makes me like it (like Iron Lord) and even if there was Defender of the Crown 2 on CD32, this one hasn't captivated me like the first.

[@uktechbloke6084]

Great list. I'd forgotten all about Stunt Car Racer - what a game! I'd like to have seen Thunderhawk and Xenon 2: Megablast on here too. Cheers!

[@Sinisteve]

Cannot argue with that mate, congrats getting you monetising control back mate! Top Video and looking forward to more content👍

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks again Steve you and Luke have made this a pretty special list I think

[@Sinisteve]

old style gaming ha no probs mate, we could’ve been arguing for weeks lol

[@Lucasrainford]

@@Sinisteve We could've done top 100 if we got our crusts together :)

Great video, took me right back to my early teens 👍

[@tobytankjorgeandjackcat.8370]

Really appreciate all the work you've put in to this! I had a A500 plus. Mate had a 600 then a 1200. I'd have to put Ghouls and Ghosts in. Especially for the music. Otherwise I'd largely agree with the rest 👍🙂

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks mate
