@moto: I think the Amiga would have died sooner or later anyway, because of bad management and whatnot.
But it truly makes me sad that this gem of a game is relatively unknown.

Oh! Oh! Ruff N' Tumble may be Amiga-exclusive?

Edit: Doh! Someone beat me to it.  :-(

Ruff 'n' Tumble is a definite favourite of mine too, and AFAIK an Amiga only. This could have been a real killer-game if it had been marketed right. As madsjm says, it all comes down to management :-(

Breathless was also a wicked game.

pyrre: Pushover was ported to SNES or Megadrive. Galaga is one of the most famous arcade games ever.

Of the current ones I'd say Total Chaos AGA.

Of the older ones I'd have to say I don't know.

Galaga was released as Galaga for the MSX. It is one of the better Arcade conversions I ever played.

Don't know about Hired Guns, but the other two definitely were ported to other platforms (apparently Super Stardust has just been re-released for PS3!).

I don't know if it was ported elsewhere, but I'd say Wizkid for me, great game! Anyone else remember it?

A lot of people have mentioned Battle Squadron. It's a badass game... although not exclusive... It also made an appearance on the Sega Genesis...

 Oldies 'n' goodies:

 - Xtreme Racing;

 - Wings

 - Desert Strike

 - Genetic Species

 - Wasted Dreams

 - Gloom

 - Alien Breed 3D

 - Putty Squadron
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Deliverance.

Way back when I had my Amiga 500 I found this game at some garage sale or something.  I think it was from Europe as I'd never seen it in the US, and I think it's Amiga exclusive.  Best graphics I'd seen on the system.  

If anyone has one with a box and manual that they'd like to sell, PM me please :)
