Top 10 Amiga Games

[@fleed78]

Gods, Moonstone, Lionheart, Super Cars II, Dragon Fighter, Gobliiins, Chuck Rock, Battle Squadron, Magic Pockets, Squeek, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Double Dragon II, Arkanoid, Sensible Soccer, Kick Off 2, Striker, Cruise for a Corpse, North & South, Alone in the Dark, Myth, Duck Tales, F1 Grand Prix, Eye of the Beholder II, Deliverance and so many many others missing...

[@Lordani66]

For me in no particular order: Lotus 2, Secret of Monkey Island, Mortal Kombat, Soccer Kid, Superfrog, Arabian Nights, Yo Joe, Crazy Cars III, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Desert Strike. Possibly Chaos Engine too.

[@spearPYN]

I agree with this list. Monkey Island is a masterpiece: the artwork, the screenplay, story, everything... You cant make better game with the latest 3d technology as you cant replicate Tolkien's prose. There are certain pieces of art that are timeless...

​@notanfningain seems ridiculous now, but there was no game that had ever given you that kind of freedom. Elite allowed you to do a lot, but the immersion of being able to use all those vehicles and also be on foot and explore made it the absolute first of its kind.

[@raithrover1976]

SWOS, Speedball 2, Microprose F1 and Syndicate are the glaring omissions for me

[@danyoutube7491]

Any top 10 is hard for the Amiga but I would probably agree with all of those, and perhaps add The Settlers, Civilization, Colonization, Railroad Tycoon and Historyline as contenders too (I suppose it depends if you like strategy games :) all of those four have flaws but overall were huge fun). Oh, and Worms! Mortal Kombat was a decent port (which we rarely got on the Amiga in terms of fighting games) but I wouldn't say it was one of the best ever on the Amiga. IK+, though primitive in its graphics compared to the early 90s beat'em'ups, was a very fun game and would be a better candidate for a top 10 game than MK in my opinion.

[@Doing_Time]

-Too many one player games. -The only one player games I remember liking were the three stooges, mostly because it was more like watching a sitcom while you play, and autoduel, because it took weeks to really build up your little car franchise. Otherwise, I'd rather go outside than sit in front of a computer. -The two player Bubble bobbles were all good though. -I was never a Mortal Kombat kind of person, but I've played a few rounds of that and Double Dragon with friends at Straw Hat Pizza back in the day--controller issues made them feel degraded on my Amigas. -If you're a sports fan EARL WEAVER BASEBALL is the GREATEST video game of all time in my opinion (and I've owned 100s of baseball games), despite unfortunately never being finished product until the PC where it stunk. -TV Sports football was fun and groundbreaking for stats fans as well, although if you have a single fast receiver you can score 250+ a game against the AI. -Omni-play (Magic Johnson) basketball is also a groundbreaking, very playable franchise mode game. -For quick play without the stat geek, fast break basketball is one of the best arcade style games I've played on the Amiga. -Speedball or Speedball 2 usually, deservedly makes every list, and it can be a fun sporty game, including even some stats. -If you're not into sports, PORTS OF CALL is one of the simplest GREAT multiplayer franchise mode games ever made. -Populous 2 is always fun for an overnight gaming binge with a friend. -No list is complete without the Archons, which two can play together for days. -I know it wasn't as geeky as some of the later golf games, but Mean 18 was an entertaining party game with personality when friends stay over for more than a couple of days. -Ebonstar never gets enough credit for sucking in a crowd of nongamers to sit around and play while talking away an afternoon...into the night.

[@giacomogarreffa2837]

Mamma mia che ricordi risalgono alla mente..quanto pagherei per tornare bambino😢😢

[@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE]

This was a decent list overall. Obviously you got a few right such as Turrican 2, Another World, Lemmings, and James Pond... but a few of those games on your list were certainly questionable for my taste namely Rainbow Islands... but take Dune 2 for example. A great game no doubt... killer game... but it was better on the 256 VGA PC's at the time AND as an Amiga strategy game was it better, or rather was it more "AMIGA" at the time than say, the game ... Meglomania? I don't think so I would have included Meglomania as a strategy game. Obviously Speedball 2 is missing here too and IMO the best "2 player" Amiga game of all time And I'll be honest... a few games that really seemed exceptional to me and took a lot of my time and were missed here were... 1) WINGS(Easily Cinemaware's best ever game...with the aid of a well written story, they made playing the same 3 mini games over and over and over seem like a reward) 2) Populous/Populous 2(Bullfrog's flagship game series that was just as addictive as crack cocaine, yet 100x more affordable and with zero regret), 3) Powermonger(another Bullfrog masterpiece and probably 15 years ahead of it's time as a game concept... if Populous was being played by the masses, Powermonger most assuredly was best enjoyed by Sociopaths... no question. If you never played this game you missed out) Some honorable mentions IMO include... Pirates IK+ Hired Guns Dungeon Master SWIV F/A-18

[@01sevensix]

I love that this vid has generated so much feedback. Good one.

[@dodgierodders3217]

I agree. Another World might be the best Amiga game ever... but not having an Amiga growing up (only C64, and then 286) I was always envious of my mate that had MYST, I'd never seen graphics like that before, and I thought it was the pinnacle of what the Amiga system could do. Granted not the most exciting game, but still. Also agreed Speedball 2 is a great game (not sure if I played it on C64 or 286 though) ... but majorly addictive. You're user name ain't that bad either ... many hours I spend on RickD2... many.. many hours.

Hey guys someone please help me out.. i'm trying to learn about this/these systems and their games with the idea to pick one from ebay.. so when the list just says best "amiga games".. is it amiga 500, amiga 1200 amiga 1000 or what? There's so many different models...

[@pacpacfujishima]

All games shown here are Amiga 500, which is the entry level model. Amiga 1000 is the new name of the original "Amiga" from 1985, it's rare and usually not affordable, you'll need to buy extra RAM too. A1200 would be the best all around model since it has improved graphics that (when used properly) can match arcade games in number of screen colors (check the Rygar port, and also Fightin' Spirit), and can easily use hard disks and CF cards. It's powerful and if properly equipped it can run 1st person shooters like the classic Doom.

[@sco9616]

@@pacpacfujishima Hey man thanks a lot for your reply. When you talk about entry level and best all around model, and improved graphics, it's making me wonder- Is it kinda more like a pc situation in that the later model can play all the games but improve the graphics of games that came out on the earlier machine, or is it a more console-like situation where there are there Amiga 500 games for the Amiga 500 and 1200 games for the 1200 etc? (I could've asked is it backwards compatible, but I guess this would be more than that if it does indeed improve the graphics as well as just play them)?

[@pacpacfujishima]

@@sco9616 Exactly, it's a personal computer and should be handled like that, in an ideal world. There's a lot of games with slowdown or frame drop if you play on the entry level Amiga 500, but run smoothly on the Amiga 1200 (R-Type II, 3d polygon games, Walker etc). Walker also has improved sound on Amiga 1200 such as voice over/radio chat. It was not 100% backwards compatible as some games needed patching to run on newer models but today basically everything is patched with a tool called WHDLoad. Most of the games were developed for the entry level Amiga 500 because it was the most profitable and popular (ie cheapest). But the few games that were Amiga 1200-only are excellent, like Slam Tilt pinball, Simon The Sorcerer, Banshee, Rygar and Roadkill. Some games indeed have two versions, the so called "AGA version" is for Amiga 1200 (its chipset is called AGA) and have improved graphics. Games like Brian the Lion, Fire and Ice, Fightin' Spirit and Shadow Fighter are in this category, should look for "AGA" on the name.

[@rafaellima83]
