The Best 25 Commodore Amiga Games Ever! (well my favourite)

[@singleplayergaming526]

Ah so many good memories .i remember when i let my older brother play Pinball Fantasies on my Amiga 500 .And the ball got stuck (u could use spacebar to tilt /push ) i lost it when he tapped the monitor to try and get the ball moving again 😂

[@Sinisteve]

Haha amazing😂😂

[@cri3894]

Used to let my Amiga on for days because of Beat Box table with extra balls. 😁

[@grzestelicki]

For me, rised in late 80's and early 90's in Poland seeing original boxes of Amiga games is something special. We didn't see original games back then in PL:)

[@Sinisteve]

I was quite lucky that I got quite a few games when I was younger, used to keep all the boxes under my bed until I stupidly threw them all away🙈🙈(I was only around 14)glad I replaced them all and a lot more before the prices went a bit crazy

[@szlkok]

my father brought me some games from his friends, large stuff. I didn't see oryginal boxes too. Regards from Rybnik

You’ve got to suggest your favourites, that’s the idea, I’ll then check them out👌🏼😉 Thanks for watching👍

[@greenkitty82]

StayCoolKeto I agree. I absolutely loved the Amiga as a child and have so many great memories from it that I would never part with it. It's so much fun to dip back into it now and then when I have time to take me back to that warm place!

[@StayCoolKeto]

@@greenkitty82 Yes, and with he world as it is now, I bet it brings back great times! I have an Amiga 600 and 1200 back in England with 100s of discs and games both copied and originals! I really wish I had it here! I'm worried the battery has leaked! Looking forward to seeing them again lol. What amiga have you got?

[@greenkitty82]

StayCoolKeto I have the cartoon classics Amiga 500+ that came with lemmings but my absolute favourite game is the secret of Monkey Island. I had so much fun with the console and that game (and the early 90s always seemed more care free and simple) that I stood firm that I would never part with it as it's important to cherish things that make you really happy. I'm looking to track down some old games I did part with overtime to relive some memories but we did have a few originals in the boxes and most of the games we had were copies from the carboot sale. That was ok though as they worked fine and also saved on space so we had many to enjoy! I love seeing that people as adults still enjoy the console 😁

[@Tech-geeky]

I'm still looking for all games for use on Amiga emulators like Winuae.. and all cover disks.... from most Amiga mags... Internet Archive seems to have most but not all in one huge file.

Hi Sinisteve! Although I did not own a Commodore Amiga in my youth (my cousin did though) I love watching those compilation videos.

What joystick does everyone use for playing amiga games. I remember having a micro switch joystick, but cant remember what it was called. I think these games don’t play well with keyboard/crap joysticks. Update It's an MCA Star Cursor

Robert I’ve always used Power Play Cruisers...I have every variant, they came in 6 different designs...I like them because you can adjust the tension of the stick. I know that monster joysticks make a new 2 button stick with arcade parts, which is useful for games that uses the space bar as the 2nd button as that’s mapped to the stick so no more leaning over... Over popular joysticks are zip sticks and competition pros

Really good video and very interesting to see your choices, thanks for sharing them. It’s not an easy exercise when there are so many classics on the system. The fact there’s no room for the likes of Chaos Engine, Monkey Island, Flashback, Another World, Wings, Lotus 2 etc just shows how difficult it is. Different tastes and nostalgia for different stuff means everyone would have a slightly different list and that’s what makes it so interesting I suppose. I’ve never been that keen on single screen platformers (Pang, Rodland etc), at least since Bubble Bobble on the 8-bits, so that would have freed up some room for others in mine.

Blaze Entertainment recently announced that they would be releasing Amiga collections for the Evercade beginning in 2023. As I don't own an Amiga this is great news for me. They've thus far released 300+ games for Evercade as part of Arcade, Computer, and Console/Handheld collections. So far this has included games for the Atari 2600, 7800, Lynx, Nintendo NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Intellivision, Sega Master System (as a hidden game on the Evercade Vs console; there're several that have been discovered thus far for various systems), Mega Drive, and Commodore 64. All cartridges are multicarts holding between 7 and 20 games each (one only has two). They have three lines of carts. Console/Handheld (Red cases), Arcade (Purple cases), and Computer (Blue cases). They are compatible with their original handheld models, the new EXP model handheld, and the Vs console. And no, I'm not a shill for Blaze, I merely collect and play the carts.

Brilliant peace of kit . very much used still used today by myself excellent mods out there for the different Amigas out there to .

[@wilrivera2668]

... I am glad you included moonstone. You should have shown the battle with the big red dragon's head. The cinemaware basketball game was quite good too ... so was the game with a bunch of gangs in New York city ...

[@Sinisteve]

I captured all the footage myself and it was taking far too long when I got into a game, think I played buggy boy for over half hour for a minutes footage😂imagine how long I would’ve been playing moonstone for to get there lol Yeah tv sports basketball was great back in the day, not sure it’s aged great though Thanks for watching

[@trooperbill]

My fave were project X, chaos engine 2, banshee, soccer kid, monkey Island 2, flashback, gunship 2000, virus, ruff n tumble, settlers 2, dune 2000... The list goes on lol

[@Sinisteve]

Too many to choose isn’t there...you’re the first person I’ve heard saying they like chaos engine 2, I thought it was a very mediocre sequel to a classic game

[@trooperbill]

@@Sinisteve lol I liked it. And swiv, gloom, rlick dangerous. Magic pockets. Nodulous, bio, syndicate, it came from the desert, lotus esprit turbo challenge, vroom etc lol

[@diegosclama1265]

Monkey island, kick off 2,Shadow of the beast, banshee...

[@Sinisteve]

Diego Sclama I couldn’t include monkey island as I didn’t own it at the time, would definitely have been top 10 Kick Off 2 doesn’t compare to SWOS😉 Shadow of the Beasts gameplay isn’t fantastic imo, very iconic but It wouldn’t even get in my top 50 And Banshee is good but I had so many other shooters in there, I might do a shmup list for the Amiga

[@cogybear]

Swos is a clone of kick off 2

[@aceman4929]

Gianna sister's!

[@mattpotter8725]

@@Sinisteve Kick Off 2 and SWOS should both have been in this list. I loved both of them. One shouldn't just be excluded because of the other. You included multiple platform games for example. Cannon Fodder should have been much higher in my opinion. There was strategy to it, not just pure running and shooting as made out in your screenshots. I know you only included games you owned, but Prince of Persia and Another World should have been on this list (Syndicate also rings a bell). I can only assume you didn't own it. There are some seriously bad games on this list though. Also I can only assume you didn't like racing games as I loved OutRun, Chase HQ, and Lotus Turbo Challenge, or Microprose's Formula One Grand Prix (which I played with against my friends).

[@Sinisteve]

Matt Potter syndicate was on the cutting list purely because of the really juddery scrolling I don’t think it’s aged great, don’t get me wrong it’s a great game but if you didn’t grow up with it I think it’ll be a hard one to go back to... Lotus probably should’ve been on there but definitely not Outrun and Chase Hq! They were absolutely terrible ports, and I did grow up with them too, I loved the arcades back in the day and I’ve owned Chase Hq and still own an Outrun and the Amiga versions are unplayable...obviously only my opinion and if we all had the same it would be a boring world.. What bad games are on there if you don’t mind me asking?

[@CooChewGames]

That music for Pinball Fantasies... brings goosebumps. Such an amazing game.

[@CooChewGames]

And Pinball Dreams :-D

[@Sinisteve]

CooChewGames both are unreal, I was trying to keep to one game per franchise, but they both had to be in there😍

[@Corsa15DT]

why is the music in Pang not the same as in the Arcade?

[@Neilooooo]

wow, an absolutely fantastic trip down memory lane! stunt car racer, I completely forgot about that game! I. LOVED. Moonstone, such a great game! And we can't forget Monkey Island, with its 100000000 disks :p great video, thanks for putting it out there! :)

[@apprentice500]

Also Archer Mcleans Snooker was great

[@Beaps73]

Production overload, well make vid mate, pretty much spot on but I would of included both Xenon's with the first being no1. Also Chaos Engine, Wizball and Bubble Bobble would be in there.

[@Sinisteve]

Beaps73 I was trying to mix up genres...Bubble Bobble was on the cutting list, but I just prefer Rainbow Island and Rodland, same as Chaos Engine...Alien Breed pipped it And surely you can’t tell me the slow and sluggish Xenons are better than the other 3 shooters I have on there😉😂

[@Beaps73]

Not a fan of Rainbow Island, probably because I don't get it. Xenon easy top 3

[@Sinisteve]

Beaps73 I won’t argue with you on your birthday 😘

I completed Moonstone many times, gore on obviously I didn't understand that, who in their right mind playing that would turn it off ?????

[@davidsgardell]

Ray Moreton Hahha! Good question man!! Perhaps they had to include that option for whatever reason, like to get away with lower age restriction, or something? I mean if you pick up a game that violent to begin with, why would you care about blood, haha doesn’t make any sense...

Great video with some great games. My top 25 would have added ones like Toki, Chaos Engine, Syndicate, Brutal Sports Football, Monkey Island, Gods, SWIV, R-Type, Fronteir, Flashback, Indy Heat, Rick Dangerous. Plus some of the games you mentioned like Rodland, SWOS, Moonstone, Lemmings, Cannon Fodder are all games that are still awesome. Also Master Blaster was the Dyna Blaster rip off that was amazing for multiplayer compared to Dyna. To be fair the Amiga has loads, even with a top 100 there’s gonna be classics that don’t make the cut. That’s how good it was! What’s the best way to play these nowadays? I’m on Mac.

[@Sinisteve]

Paul Liddement sorry dude I’m not that great with emulation, I imagine there’s a version of winuae that’ll work with Mac though, personally I’d get an original a500, drive selector, gotek in an external drive housing, scart lead and crt, the best Amiga setup for around £160

Would love to get hold of an Amiga to play again. I also remember a game called Deluxe Galaga and seem to remember it being very addictive

[@MartinJSUK]

SWOS, Lemmings, Rainbow Islands, Rod-Land, Buggy Boy - lots of my favourites here. The Amiga had such a vast, varied catalogue across so many years that 25 is nowhere near enough. I could easily choose 25 other games that I loved (especially strategy games), and someone else could probably suggest another 25 that they loved. Not that there wasn't lots of crud as well, of course.

Pedro Gordinho yeah all original and most of my Amiga collection is in pretty good condition, think I’m at around 500 games, I used to have more but I thinned out most of the ones I would never play, so flight sims mainly and 3D games that have aged terribly
