    Default Best 3 Amiga Games

    Hi, Well I cant be the only Amiga fan boy here, so what were your best 3 Amiga games? I know many games rocked my boat then but three stand out.

    mine were,

    Dungeon Master, this was the greatest of them all, weeks of entertainment, the horror of standing on a switch and seeing several skeletons charge towards you or wondering what was behind that door, the worm levels and those spells when you never seemed to have enough. The sequel Chaos Strikes Back was just as good. Ok eventually i could play the game through fairly rapidly after playing it through so many times but even today nothing has beat the atmosphere of that game for me. It got that bad that one day walking past an old train bridge I actually found myself looking at the cracks in the stonework for items while walking past .

    edit; for a good windows clone, looks the same at least, go here: h**p://www.ragingmole.com/RTC/ there is also a java version but its not so good here; h**p://www.cs.pitt.edu/~alandale/dmjava/

    Dune 2 What a game, this was the daddy of RTS this kept me up for a week playing through all of this game, not even going to bed for work, only problem seemed to be that the maps for each side were the same, approx 9 levels if I remember rightly. Yes sir!

    Formula 1 GP Ahh this was pure 2 player entertainment, swapping joypads after a certain time so your opposing mate could put a lap in then the horror of seeing some dimwitted CPU car take your out and cant do anything till your next go, then the grin of success as you do get a go and realise your mates been put out by a CPU car, brilliant. Many nights playing this game with mates.

    whats yours then?

    There were so many good games but my personal favourites

    Sensible Soccer

    Speedball 2

    Worms


    there were so many good games though, Project X, Alien Breed, Xenon 2, the list could go on forever.
    most likely others will bring up games I forgot about but were great games.

    I used my amiga mostly for Bulletin Boards etc so didnt play huge amounts of games

    This could change on any given day, depending on how good my memory is etc. But for today -

    SWOS
    Secret of Monkey Island 1 or 2
    Xenon 2

    There's a rather awesome emulation disc doing the rounds at the moment for the Xbox, which has 5000 Amiga discs and 5000 for the Atari ST on it. Including games AND demos.

    Almost shat when I put on Jesus on E's and the Budbrain mega demo!

    Used to love Kick Off 2 with the Final Whistle data disk (it let you do overhead kicks with that! Wooo!!)...

    Also, Eye of the Beholder - a lot like Dungeon Master but with more to it.

    One more, The Immortal. Probably not the greatest game out on the amiga but one I remember fondly, cos it's one of the few I actually finished. It was about a wizard in some dungeon, isometric viewpoint, nice graphics.

    Oh, honourable mentions to SWOS, the Lotus Challenge games (at least 1 and 2 anyway), Extreme Violence (freeware multiplayer shoot-em-up, fantastic!), Cannon Fodder... this list could go on and on!

    Looking above - I loved all the Cinemaware games, ITFTD, Wings, Rocket Ranger, the TV Sports games.. F1GP was great, one of the few "serious" driving games I ever liked, and put the effort into improving my laptimes...

    I better stop I'm getting nostalgic and I'll start to wonder where my life went...

    Oh Jimmy White's Snooker... there's another one.

    SWOS
    Alien Breed Tower Assault
    Speedball 2

    I liked the original Elite to frontier. Frontier had far too many bugs and was rushed out so I belive.

    The Amiga, those were the days, used to write down every BBS number I'd find in the intro's and ring them all up to see if they were working and try to get on, used to love the days when you first got sysop access, those intro's were cool too, the Fairlight and Lemon / Melon one's seem to stick in my head the most!

    As for the games, I'd have to go with:

    Monkey Island
    Elite 2
    F1GP - used to play that for hours on end!

    For multiplayer stuff Project X and Chaos Engine were awesome games, used to play a lot of stuff like Goal 2 and Sensi Soccer too, they were class, used to beat my mates up when we were playing those!

    And who remembers Jimmy White's Snooker? Used to spend ages playing that too!
