Games that you wish had Amiga versions?

[orb85750]

Any classic games that you wish were released for Amiga?  

A couple immediately come to mind for me:

Demon Attack
Castles of Dr. Creep

(If this thread has already been done in the past couple of years, then forgive me and feel free to ignore me.)

I wish the original Mechwarrior (the 3d cockpit sim from Dynamix) had been released for the Amiga.  An 020 or 030 would have ably handled it.  I wish Wing Commander II and WC1 Secret Missions had been released.

I wish someone had been able to convince iD that a DOOM port to the Amiga wasn't in vain (which as we've seen since the release of Doom's code, even rudimentary expansions - 030+Fast RAM - can cope with).

F15 Strike Eagle III

A port of Myst - sooner than the one that was eventually released - might have helped.

Okay, here we go - Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Terror from the Deep, Jagged Alliance (Deadly Games), Day of the Tentacle (thanks, NovaCoder), Sam & Max, Oddworld, Realms of Arkania 2, 3, Betrayal at Krondor, Lands of Lore, EOB3, Legend of Kyrandia 2, 3 and many many others. All the mentioned, by the way, would Amiga be easily able to handle...

Portal in 2d for Amiga 68k perhaps.

Return Fire, Sim Farm and some of the others mentioned - especially a modern CD-ROM based Wing Commander & Doom of course. Had the Amiga done a better job of keeping up software wise, *we* (wife at the time really wanted Sim Farm) would have either not jumped ship to a 386 or would have put off a clone purchase until several years later. Hell, I might not have EVER gone to the dark side for a bit had more games been released.

Other titles I would have liked to had seen would be official licensed arcade perfect ports of vintage arcade games. Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Dk III, Omega Race, Centipede, Galaga,Tempest, Zoo Keeper, Ms. Pac-Man, Tutankham, stuff like that. The shareware and homebrews have never been able to really satisfy. The translations of some of the games though we had back in the day *were* excellent: Qix and Bomb Jack come to mind. R-type also I guess. For such a capable gaming system as it was/is, Amiga should have had more console-friendly titles too w/ an enhanced controller right away. Something with at least 2 discrete buttons, but really - Amiga should have had a CD32 like controller right off the bat so developers could have taken advantage of it. Ironic that a next gen computer was (mainly) using Atari 2600 style controllers most its life  

And for that matter: games/software on floppy. CD-ROM should have been better integrated and pushed with the Amiga. Excellent platform for it and you can't help but wonder *IF* CD-ROM was more of a standard, the Amiga more than likely *would* have had more clone conversions. Lots of ifs here, I know - but jeez, some of these concepts seem so simple today and we're not just talking hindsight being 20/20 either. Every time I pick up a classic Amiga mag, the same message is resonated: c'mon Commodore, market your machines AND get that blasted CD-ROM technology into more peoples hands.

It would've been fun to see some of the good NES/SNES titles ported to Amiga. Obviously it could've had updated ports of NES classics like Super Mario Bros. 3 and the MegaMan games (the music of which was very MOD-style to begin with,) as well as some of the slightly less well-known titles (I still maintain that River City Ransom is the best brawler ever made, and they already did a Sharp X68000 port, so they were halfway there.) But I can think of a few SNES titles that would've converted pretty well, too. Super Metroid, for instance, has very Amiga-like music, relies more on theme-colored areas than a large global palette, and doesn't rely heavily enough on the SNES scaling/rotation hardware to be problematic, and it's just such a kickass game that it's a shame it never got a home computer port.

QuakeIII:Arena (might br possible under MorphOS).

And as always the first clever person /sarcasm off

I think he refers to Amiga classic in the good old days :rolling eyes:

[Darrin]

They'd need RTG, but...

Civilization II
Civilization III
X-Com:  Terror from the Deep
Diablo
Angelina Jolie's XXX Hard-Core Strip Poker with added Nasty Pack

OK, I made the last one up, but I can always dream.

The game I got as soon as I got a PC was Microprose Grand Prix 2. The slump in game development was one reason I moved off Amiga as my main platform.

If Amiga had kept up, I would currently use it to play:
Half Life (1 & 2)
Toca Race Driver series
F1 2010
The freely downloadable Doctor Who Adventure games

Alone In The Dark
Day of the Tentacle
Magic Carpet
Jazz Jackrabbit (this one is 100% AMIGA, just it's on rubbish hardware instead)

Syndicate Wars. The original was second to none.
