What style of game says "amiga" to you?

[Drummerboy]

Sega had Sonic mouse(?) and Zintendo had Mario. What did Amiga have for a mascot? Zool?

well, with the Amiga 1200 release and sales, back in 1992/92, they tried to do something similar, including in the A1200 Pack a Zool game Copy. That was fact.

F18 Interceptor, Team 17 games, Speedball 2, says Amiga too.

Games that use Intuition for the graphics layout and the Amiga's voice synthesis for dialogue, using the Copper to display two or three separate screens at once (for a panel and the game area) with their own palettes and resolutions. As much fun as it is when a game takes advantage of the hardware, I think it's also great when they make good use of the OS too.

Something like Operation Stealth, then. Great game, although the minigames sucked.

Games with cartoony animated intro-sequences that took up the entire first disk.

Ah, good question. What games do I most associate with the Amiga...

Settlers is one, I played that forever, and two player mode with two mice plugged in was great. That was a very Amiga-esque capability.

2D platformers too (Addams Family, Blues Brothers, Lionheart). All with the 16x16 blocks and tasty graphics and cool soundtrack.

Monkey Island and other point and click adventures.

Populous 2.

Edit: How could I forget Another World and Speedball 2?!

[OldB0y]

Scorched tanks, Worms, Lemmings
F/A18, Stuntcar Racer, F1GP
UFO, Dune 2, Syndicate
Another World, Flashback, Turrican series, Switchblade2
Lotus1,2 and 3
Canon Fodder, Sensi soccer
Monkey Island1+2, Beneath a Steel Sky
Just about any Psygnosis and Team 17 game. + probably quite a few more.

Quite a few of the above were multi platform, but for me they will only ever be Amiga games, and most were on the Amiga first.
