[itix]

Supercars II.

[itix]

Though.. many Amiga games are remembered by their authors. Team 17,
DMA Design, Magnetic Fields, Teque, Bitmap Brothers...

[Tahoe]

Psygnosis !!

[Trooper]

Syndicate
Rainbow Islands
Parasol stars
Fire & Ice
Deluxe Pacman (Freeware)
Hired Guns

Trooper

[Hyperspeed]

I agree with Tahoe, Xenon 2 featured music from Bomb The Bass so was quite a cult thing on Amiga. Funny, I don't remember Xenon 2 being converted to Sega/Nintendo machines, could be wrong though.

Other great music comes from Stardust and Super Stardust, very famous Amiga games.

Monkey Island is another A-list title with atmospheric tunes!

:-)

[NoFastMem]

The Xenon 2 music pretty much sums up my A500 experience. :-)

But strangely enough I don't recall Monkey Island having any music! :lol:

Giana on the amiga is worse than the C64 version IMHO.

[Trooper]

Yeah!, Xenon II was ported/available on the sega megadrive and believe it or not,The master system.

Trooper

[weirdami]

Yeah, I second Lemmings. That's the first thing I thought of. I also second the sentiment that it may not connect non-Amigans to the Amiga, just that it's a game people will remember. Most non-Amigans don't know (or care) that some games originated on the Amiga.

Giana on the amiga is worse than the C64 version IMHO.

Just like Defender of the Crown. :-(

[lempkee]

count zero: yes...and so is last ninja 2 , remix and 3.

and several others too.

though still good games!.

[AmireX]

ProjectX from Team 17, hard to play, but also good gfx and sfx :-)

But Xenon2 and Speedball are my favourites too.

[Chunder]

Interesting question...

I think that the game *most* associated with the Amiga is Speedball 2.

People remember different games as being typical Amiga games depending on the era... it could be Moonstone, Chaos Engine, Worms, Superfrog, Zool, Pinball Dreams/Fantasies - all of them were popular at their respective times.

Other ones that I'd suggest are Xenon and Weird Dreams - as these were featured on one of the Saturday morning UK childrens TV shows ("Get Fresh", IIRC) - very impressive stuff for the time!

There's an Amiga section in the "Retro" magazine this month (or whatever its frequency is; the issue that's in WH Smith now!) which mentions a few of the favourite/famous Amiga games. Can't for the life of me remember what they were, though...

Here are some that weren't mentioned:

Ruff'n'Tumble
Virocop
Brian the Lion

All had incredibly nice graphics, sound, and gameplay. Never released on any platforms other than Amiga.
