Four games that I played to death on my Amiga and that I think should be included in any top 10 Amiga list: 1. Llamatron 2112 2. Rock n Roll 3. Turbo Hang On 4. Archer McClean's Pool/ Jimmy White's Snooker Llamatron 2112 is Jeff Minter at his crazy, psychedelic best. Sure, it's pretty much a revisited Williams Robotron 2084, but Jeff added so many extras, power ups, bizarre attackers and levels to make a fast, frenetic and thoroughly addictive game. I played it for months and destroyed a number of joysticks before managing to complete all 99 levels! Rock n Roll has to be one of the most fiendishly addictive and compelling arcade puzzle games that I have ever played, easily on the same level as Lemmings. The objective is simply to guide a ball to the end of each level while navigating hazards, treacherous terrain and solving puzzles along the way. It had everything from precise and skilful control, puzzle solving/ logic as well as racing against the clock. All the while with some great music to keep you going. A very underrated game that should have got much more recognition. Turbo Hang On is a port from the Sega arcade classic of the same name. On its release, the Amiga port was easily the best of all the conversions at the time. Faithful to the original, awesome graphics (showing what the Amiga was capable of) with fast and exhilarating game play. Jimmy White's Snooker and Archer McClean's Pool (both programmed by Archer) were basically the same game play, with the snooker version licenced to use World snooker champion Jimmy White's name and the pool version released under Archer's own name. Both were incredibly good fun to play with unique gameplay cue control and excellent 3D graphics. Probably the best snooker and pool games ever in my opinion. Oh, and if no input is made to the game after a certain period of time, the balls start making faces at you!

There was something incredibly special about that era of gaming. Maybe it was the system itself, or the quality of the games, or how it was such a huge part of my younger years, but for me there are still some games that hold their own against some of the titles out today.

Graphics and sound do affect gameplay though in all arcade style games. If Uridium 2 was not as fast and responsive as the original on the C64 the game would suffer. Jerky versions of arcade driving games are horrible to play compared to the silky smooth Lotus II game pushing the Amiga to it's limits neaning you can pull off pixel perfect overtakes round a bend at "150mph" etc. The most interesting game designs are indeed small groups or bedroom coders, but the best Amiga games have audio/visual programming that is top notch combined for that SNES and Megadrive version crushing release.

Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain is what got my interest in flying sims, probably WWII as well. It came with a great book containing a brief history of the BoB along with quotes by those that were there, manuals back then were a big part of the gaming experience.

Turrican is a 1990 video game programmed and designed by Manfred Trenz. It was developed for the Commodore 64 by Rainbow Arts, and was ported to other systems later. In addition to concept design and character creation, Trenz personally programmed Turrican on the Commodore 64. Wikipedia

Settlers, Frontier and Lemmings I liked a lot. Other games I loved: Batman the Movie - 2nd best feel driving game I found for the Amiga. Xenon2 - the music was so good it was in the UK charts. Bomb the Base! Weird Dreams - a bit old for some but had good graphics and was surreal. Battle Squadron - knocked the pants off all other shootemups for graphics except Xenon2. Another world - enough said. My Amiga died before I could complete it. Stunt Car Racer - best driving game for the Amiga hands down. Eye of the Beholder I and II - nothing after was half as good until I played Morrowind on the PC. Paradroid - great top down thinking game with tactics, sidegames and great graphics. FA18 Interceptor - my favourite flight sim programmed by a real fighter pilot (on his own for 3 years before anyone else). PGA Tour Golf - hours of fun trying to be no.1 Datastorm - unique sideview shooter, great music and manic play. I also used to play this on the BBC Micro in the early 80s. It was called Gravity on the Micro (I think). Not Thrust. I could list some games for the BBC Micro lol. Chuckie Egg yay! Desert Strike - never completed this game but tried damn hard to. North & South - funny as f*** risk style board game with sidegames. There were some terrible games on the Amiga I remember but still enjoyed: Hell Bent - hard as f***. Blood Money - R Type clone. Hostages - a good game but a bit old. Rampage - for mindless fun. Captain Blood - I never could get very far and learning an alien language was hardcore. Archipelagos - creepy strategy game. Very surreal. Reminds me of Sentinel. Hacker - released in 1985. Probably what inspired Paradroid. Atmospheric. Flood - strategic platformer where the aim was to avoid drowning. Barbarian - had fatal death finishing moves wayyy before Mortal Combat. Some of these games are very difficult to find these days. Some are impossible to find anywhere.

@Dhirallin6 жыл бұрын
I don't get why so many thought Blood Money was terrible. I thought it was absolutely awesome fun 2 players. Possibly the best 2 player side-scroller on the Amiga. It was like the rogue-like of side-scrollers, slow and thoughtful but deadly. There was nothing more satisfying then dodging a hail of bullets in order to duck into a shop and get some cool bombs or triple shoot.

Police Quest - Look in case, take keys, take pen, should reboot this for consoles 4. Leisure suit Larry - could never get very far but just loved it 5. Pang - popping those balloons was so much fun, got the remake and got a lot further now 6. North V South 7. The first Turtles game, loved it but those dam electric things in the water ruined it 8.

Hey there.. Subscribed, First Amiga Vids I have watched on KZbin, I sold my Speccy +3 then bought an Amiga 500 Batman pack about 3 months after buying the speccy, after going to friends house who had bought their first A500. At the time it was probably a months pay for me, and the speccy purchase was a bad upgrade to my old Speccy 48 lol. Out of this list the following would be on my list. Lemmings and Elite Frontier(After being totally addicted to the repetative original Elite games.. lol). All great choices and I have played most of them. Everyone is going to have their own favourites, so if it were my personal choices(not going to list 10), I would probably have these on my favourite list :- Turrican, Paradroid, R-Type, Kickoff,for favourite footy game, Shadow of the Beast (not for playability, just for the genious of parallax scrolling layers) and probably, Rainbow Islands, IK+ and Supremacy.
