The 75 Best Commodore Amiga Games Ever Made!

[@Lucasrainford]

That was a great showcase of quality Amiga games! Like most people I would change the order somewhat but it's your list m8 so....like you said there are suspect choices, the ones that where way off the mark the most imo are Dune II at no:65 and Speedball 2 at no:32 I was thinking 'what the hells in the top 10!?' but yer top 10 is bang on, all top games. It's so hard to choose top 10 Amiga games as there's so many classics. Yeah I remember yer old style, It was great! scrolling text, no voice over, proper retro :)

[@oldstylegaming]

I miss the old style, it was much more enjoyable to do but times have changed so this will be an every now and again thing but I need to keep up the voice overs ... the positioning is not what i world have now... some of the games also made me think wtf were you thinking lol

[@Lucasrainford]

@@oldstylegaming I miss it too lol, I never minded the lack of voice over, every fecker was doing it. ur channel was different, proper old skool, with scrolling text like in the old C64/Amiga demos. You released more back then too. Obvs you have to move with the times and adding a voiceovers takes a lot more work. Be great to see one of these old skool ones though every now and again :)

[@MrKersey]

This was an instant return back to 90s, all those wonderful games and somewhat carefree life! Thanks for the upload.

[@oldstylegaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@raggeragnar]

Oh my goodness ! Look at the variations in genres. And the quality. Some of them are still playable. One of the best machines ever. Definately my all time favourite.

[@geoffreyjohnstone5465]

Brilliant, your best video yet. I remember playing so many of them games. I agree on the vast majority but would have found room for Silent Service II, Speedball, Elite, Rollercoaster Rumbler, Walker, Buggy Boy, Starray( Fast defender clone), Skweek and Geoff Crammond Grand Prix. I think the Amiga was the last of the truly creative home machines in game development. Thanks for the video

[@tahirahmed33]

Star ray is excellent

[@declancarey1435]

So many great games for the Amiga and what’s amazing is how quickly you remember them even after 30 years of not playing them. Instantly brings back memories from both the audio and visuals and some of the graphics still look relatively fresh.

[@eskey691]

Damn man watching this was like sitting at home at the weekend all them years ago. Some class games on the list and i have to say played about 95% of them some more than others, ahhhh when games had a good heart and a soul not like some of the stuff you get today (not saying back then we didn't get poop). Great video as always mate and will catch you in the next one :)

[@nicholas_scott]

Sometimes you knew the game was crap if the pc version came out first. The amiga version was going to be a poop port. Ie everything fro EA

[@otherreality]

Good list, obviously with amiga you can never have enough top games, for me this list would have Lionheart, Thunderhawk, Prince Of Persia, Slam Tilt, TV Sports Basketball, Amegas, Darkseed, Loom, Body Blows, Leander, Sotb 3, Twintris, Drip, Tanx, Walker, Dungeon Master, Ambermoon .... I could go on forever, but these are some of my favs that are not on this list, but yeah, my personal top list for Amiga would have to be a top 150!

[@TachiUk]

When I first met my (then girlfriend, now wife) we were addicted to Wiz n Liz. Such a brilliant, fun little game with awesome music. :)

[@garyanderson1962]

brilliant content again mate. such good memories. I think I've mentioned before, a couple of mates and me used to go to Wallsend library every Thursday night and meet up with a group who used the "X-Copy" disc (it was free) and copy all the Amiga games for free. Totally naughty but we got to test all the latest Amiga games before they were released, and being a games reviewer back in the day, it gave me a bit of an edge (we weren't always sent the latest games to review) on what was coming up. Personally, my favourite Amiga game by far was Cannon Fodder. It was released on many platforms but for me, the Amiga version was by far the best. Also loved BC Kid. By the way, Team 17 have a new game out, "the survivalists", which looks retro but fun. keep the channel going mate, really enjoy it. :)

[@ZWGamemasterGame]

Awesome video, brings back my childhood and a big smile on my face.

[@Pulsed101]

The sound and graphics were so awesome for the time, I think they have aged really well tbh. You were very lucky if you had an Amiga back then. My eldest bro saved for months to get his

[@gifgit]

What a fantastic trip down memory lane, glad to see Turrican 2 at the end. Bitmap bros games are my only problem, they usually had amazing graphics and sound but were let down by clunky controls. Magic pockets and Gods are prime examples. Another world was one of my favourite games years ago although it took me about a month to figure out how to get past the first few screens lol. Well done on a comprehensive top 75.

[@oldstylegaming]

I love Another World i too struggled with the first screen, i actually gave up without getting out of the water....ive completed it now though and the playthrough is on my channel

[@UltimateGamerCC]

just got this in my feed and i literally pulled a Mr.Burns, "Excellent!"

[@oldstylegaming]

Lol

[@wanghotangho5803]

From the super console X and all the systems on there, I’m absolutely loving the Amiga. Never played one till now. The sound and music really lends a dark and foreboding atmosphere to most games over other ports, not mentioning the Amiga originals. I love the lack of censorship on the system as well. This is the finest wee hours on a stormy night gaming machine.

[@CrashMidnick]

This is why Amiga is my favorite computer, you cannot put all the best Amiga games in a top 100 :) Nice top you’ve made here. Thanks.

[@stoojona1402]

Wicked mate. Most of the games between #45 + #55 were in my top 15 or so... it is virtually impossible to put those games in order for everyone, but most of those were spot on. Hardly 1 truly crappy game in there in my opinion. Fairplay mate, good vid

[@stunthumb]

So many quality titles. Thing is, most of the list applies to the Atari ST as well, it had great versions of a lot of these games - maybe it's like a best of 16-bit computer games as well. I especially like how you didn't just bung in all the technically impressive amiga games, you went for actual decent playable games. Nice video.

[@refractionpcsx2]

Oh my fucking god. I can't believe it's taken me over 20 years to realise that the James Pond 2 music is also a parody on the Robocop theme, how have I never noticed that?

[@oldstylegaming]

Lol

[@Dennis-nm4qh]

What an awesome crazy fantastic list of Amiga games🤩 so many great memories of playing these games🤪 well at least somes of them😀 Well done osg👍

[@paumic6366]

SWIV, Apidya, Battle Squadron and Banshee in top positions. I see you are a man of culture as well.

[@The_OG_BlackMajik]

Moonstone, Turrican 2, Gods, Cannon Fodder, North and South, Wings of Death, and Syndicate were some of my favorites. I also like Space Crusade, the Warhammer 40k Space Hulk type game. Thanks for this.

[@hayesmaker64]

Nice list! I'd have The Settlers and Dune 2 in my top 5, and included History Line, Zeewolf and No Second Prize

[@craiganderson7085]

Great list. One of my favorite Amiga games was Disposable Hero, cool shmup

[@Harbourmaster68]

Lemmings, Gods, Xenon 2, Monkey Island(s), Eye of the Beholder(s), Cannon Fodder, Prince of Persia would've sold it for me, but this line up isn't bad. F29 is so much better than F19, but again it'd need a keyboard. Great start anyway from A500 Mini and great video.

[@gumdeo]

So many classics, good times...

[@slavaukraini1991]

Some great nostalgia here! I would have added bloodwych, dungeon master, blood money and laser squad

[@naviamiga]

These lists are so dangerous, as it just makes me immediately go a play a handful of the games. Thanks goodness for WHDLoad.

[@sonountaleban]

Some missing games I really loved: Alien Breed 3D, Gloom, Lionheart, Frontier Elite II, Colonization, Dragon's Lair, Dune (the first one), Simon the Sorcerer.

[@mrv2k2000]

Definitely needs Microprose Grand Prix and Indy 500. Also F19 and Pinball Fantasies.

[@milthyswinbuckle5158]

Great list... Really looking forward to when you do the new list, see what's been pushed out, moved up or down, and most importantly, what new Amiga games have made their way into the list... Maybe this new one, make it a top 100 as I'm sure your knowledge of Amiga games has grown since you last did this vid.

[@oldstylegaming]

Will be a lot different to this I'll tell you

[@chrishine2717]

Back in the days before the internet as we know it, there was a guy who used to do a stall on a Sunday/Car Boot Sale Market near me every weekend. He had a modem, and access to the Bulletin Board system. Aside from selling bric-a-brac and other random stuff, he also used to turn up with a disc box, full of floppy disks, priced at 50p per disk. All cracked games. Happy memories, drawing a fiver out of the bank on a Saturday night, then getting a taxi to and from home to the market on the Sunday morning with a stack of new titles. Very occasionally, I'd find one that was actually worth buying :)

[@tahirahmed33]

Xenon 2 , sword of sodan , denaris , turrican 1 2 3 , shadow of the beast 1 2 3 , rocket ranger , marble madness , zool , 3d pool ,

[@buddah1978egypt]

Great list! Pretty much all my favs in there bar jetstrike. Never see anyone talk about it. Hard game but when you get used to it it is so oooooo good!

[@oldstylegaming]

I'll check that game out I've never played it

[@locutus6437]

So many games, it's really hard to make a list. I see you don't have any RPGs, probably never liked them. I could also throw in some games that were not mentioned but could have been to cover different ganres. Genghis Khan TV sports basketball Gravity force Golden axe King's bounty Pang Keep up the good work! ;)

[@RETROCENGO]

Great games library on the Amiga. All highly enjoyable gems. Nice list OSG but Chaos engine should be higher up buddy 😁👍🏻

[@nicholas_scott]

Great list, thanks for the memories. My own list might have drakken, killing game show, pioneer plague, awesome, it came from the desert near the top. Also, there was a 60fps flight sim that came out around 1990. I can’t remember t he name, but it blew my mind

[@entropygenerator2646]

Great list. A few of my all time faves plus a couple i haven't played yet. Cheers

[@oldstylegaming]

And a few wtf did I put that in the list games too lol...so much has changed in 2 years

[@ritchwaghorn6541]

Interesting list.. good to see Darkmare and Cruise for a Corpse there as I spent many hours with these! I would have added The Clue as its one of the most original games released on the Amiga and Wings of Fury , as it was amazing!

[@maxsmarts8210]

Excellent list of games, a lot of fav games here! cheers!!

[@skijumpnose]

Nice! One of the great retro consoles and good to see Ruff N Tumble, Underrated game!

[@MrAmi69]

Did you just call the Amiga a console?

[@DirkDierickx]

what a massive bunch of classics, glad to see some more less popular games in the list as well. now make a video of the 25 games that didn't make the list, so we have a round 100 of games ;)

[@RetrodudeG]

fantastic list of great games, i grew up with the amiga 500 & plus version! :D

[@TheCloudhopper]

Missing from the list, imho: Battle Isle (2 and/or 1, BlueByte) and Special Forces (Microprose).

[@Reactivate100]

Great video 🙂 Bit too much adverts though 😩

[@williammanganaro9070]

This is an awesome presentation. This gives me a better idea of what I want to run on my Amiga 500+. Looks like most of these games will run OCS/ECS chipset. Maybe one or two AGA only. This was well done. I subscribed to ;-)

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks mate

[@williammanganaro9070]

@@oldstylegaming Its 4AM and I am still playing games !! hahaha I made notes as I watched and then grabbed a shit load this evening. ! Thanks ! LOL

[@busyjt]

It’s great to hear the Project X and Turrican 2 music again. I preferred Pinball Fantasies to Pinball Dreams, but both were awesome games. I spent way too much time playing Dune 2, Syndicate and Defender of the Crown. I also recall playing super sprint with friends. I’d better stop because so many games spring to mind! I’m thinking of picking up a Spectrum Next. I love the Amiga but there is so etching about a new and improved speccy that is really appealing even if it is rather expensive. I know it’s not games but it would be interesting to see your top Amiga demos. There were some awesome demos that really pushed the Amiga to its limits.

[@oldstylegaming]

I'll defo do a demo video

[@TheViceman]

These lists are always controversial, but this has to be said. You missed Hired Guns :)

[@Turbo-D]

amiga exclusives would be nice, here are some games that are bargain on every console, cheers 👍

[@fatherjack636]

Utterly love New Zealand Story. The C64 version was great but loved the Amiga version better.

[@PedroFerreira-sx2gd]

Great list. most of the lists i see are all equal. Glad to see some game like galaga that are underapreciated but great. My favourite game will always be sensible soccer and. I also have a spot in my heart for lammatron 1112 and prince of persia. it has a amazing gameplay and is quite original.

[@auritone]

I would not be able to keep it at 75 and would have to include at least the following: Warhead, Typhoon Thompson, Microbes, Pod, Transplant, ATR, Thunderhawk, Vaxxine, Bill’s Tomato Game, Space Hulk, Switchblade, Lionheart, Qwak, Disposable Hero, Amberstar and Ambermoon, Zeewolf, Formula one Grand Prix, UFO, Benefactor, Wings of Fury, Eye of the beholder 1 & 2, Fury of the Furries, Uridium 2, No Second Prize, D/Generation, Floor 13, Datastorm, Seek and Destroy, Goal, and a few more.

[@nellitheretrogamer8666]

Some of my favorites that didn't make the list were the three games by French developer ERE Informatique: Captain Blood, Purple Saturn Day and KULT (I had them for Atari ST but they were also made for Amiga). They were all somewhat different than games made in the English-speaking world, and I really liked all of them. There was a nice detail in Purple Saturn Day that I remember. In the game, you competed in a sort of futuristic sports event which took place every year. If you won, you got to meet the princess of the planet. The end-picture showed you standing on a stage with the scantily-clad princess. The second time I won the game, I noticed there was also a third, much smaller creature on the stage but I didn't understand what it was. The third time I won, there were two of them. It took me some time to realise what they were: they were children, each one the result of my previous year's encounter with the princess. I liked the game so much that I finally had more than 20 toddlers standing on the stage with us. They never grew up.

[@wanghotangho5803]

Captain Blood looks interesting as hell. I need to find a manual to understand what I’m doing tho

[@neilthomas6042]

Interesting video, doesn’t make me nostalgic, since I never owned an Amiga, it hasn’t made me want to buy an A500 Mini either. Played the music through my wireless headphones, most of it was very good, much like Jean-Michel Jarre.

[@glennmk5167]

Knocked it out off the park👍alot off classics but wouldn't expect nothing else, just few would be in different spots

They revived it with the Armiga which I bought 3 or 4 years ago...

[@craggfarm]

Great retro compilation vid OSG, took me back to my teenage years - thought Turrican 2 might have just edged the top spot... Shame we didn't see Eye of the Beholder in the list but with so many classic games to choose from its never easy. Back in the day you simply couldn't beat the Amiga 500 for gameplay and especially sound/music (just ask some 90's pop bands who made good use of that audio chip) - a fantastic machine for its time (apologies Atari ST fans - the Amiga had you nailed).

[@oldstylegaming]

[@oldstylegaming]

It's a classic... aga only though wont run on a500

[@blatherskite3009]

I'm feeling the absence of "Laser Squad" (X-COM's daddy) and "Lords of Chaos" (sequel to the classic wizard-duel game from the Spectrum). And there's a notable lack of RPGs - no "Dungeon Master" or "Eye of the Beholder," no Ultima, not even Times of Lore for the ARPGers? Most of the great shmups are here, but no "Datastorm"? Still the best "it's not Defender, honest" game on any system.

Well, even a top-75 seems like a lost cause, when talking about endless Amiga library. They're just too many of them. From the top of my head: Last Samurai, Wrath of the Demon, Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master, Venus the Flytrap, Elite, Unreal, It Came from the Desert, Leander etc etc. On the funny side, some games were really a shameless rip off of other games, like: Deliverance - Gods Darkmere - Hero Quest

[@oldstylegaming]

true that there are just so many great games

[@Deleauvive]

It's either First Samurai or Last Ninja you had in mind IMHO, probably First Samurai since Last Ninja (Last Ninja II actually) made it to the list. In the same vein, Second Samurai is a worth a mention too.
