favorite amiga game

[T3000]

ergh...
That's reaching back in time for me seeings how I been playing Tribes since I built my Athlon...

If I were to judge by the hours played, I'd come up with (in no paticular order):

1: Powermonger   plus expansion disks.

2: Overlord.

3: Falcon    plus mission disks.

and my all time favorite time consuming "game"

4: Lightwave3D    

[AccyD]

One word:

Civilization ! :-D

[icbrkr]

Favorites in no particular order:

Cannon Fodder (1+2)
Dune 2
Road Rash
Worms
Speedball 2

and I'm sure there's some others, but since I'm just getting back into the Amiga scene, it'll be a bit before I remember them

Its interesting to read this list as you can see who are at the "older" end of the spectrum from their choices.  For me (given the time of the game as well as the game itself)..

Hybris
Blasteroids
Stunt Car
Nuclear War
Dungeon Master

On my original A500 (back in the mists of time!).  Then later (when I got an A1200) I got into

Mega-Lo-Mania
Populous (1/2/PL)
SWIV
Eye of the Beholder

And then when I got my A4000

Alien Breed 3D

Anyways, thats my 2 penneth.

My favourites in order of preference

1.   Deuteros (needs to run on WB1.3 no fast mem 68000
      This game just keeps on growing and growing as you get farther into it.
      You start on Earth and end up spanning galaxies.
      This is the game that they should use to train corporation CEO's

2.    Perfect General. Fast on an 060 A4000T any config but prettyy slow
       on any lesser configuration. Beautiful graphics lots of variety.
       Capable of raising blood pressure.

3.    Sub-Battle, WB1.3 I think. Looks simple but the scope of the game
       and the simplicity of design imparts an increasing feeling of realism
       as time progresses. The amount of controls for the sub are quite
       comprehensive. If your sub is near Hiroshima on the day they dropped
       the bomb, there is a momentary flash in the sky, morbid but a nice
       touch. Lots of subtle details in this sim that only reveal themselves as
       one gets familair with the model.
       (My floppy version died! Anyone got this one?  I'm desperate to play it
       again.)

4.    1945 - I think that was the title, it's a sim of fighters /bombers from the
       Battle of the Coral  Sea, needs WB1.3 I think and it's a shame that only
       the mouse can be used to control the planes.
       The flight models are pretty accurate but more, the feeling of realism
       as your plane plummets vertically through flack towards the enemy
       carrier with fighters on your tail is electric.

5.    Frontier. Shame that it wasn't finished properly but while interest lasted
       it was addictive plus with all the cheats and hacks for it one could end up
       with an invincible juggernaught of a ship capable of huge light year
       jumps.
       I'm sure that there are still some surprise planets lurking in the Frontier
       Galaxy.

6.    Civilization, of course a favourite but frustrating and tedious at times.
       Those rare games where two huge evenly matched CIVs go to war are
       the best. The only quick way to win is to grab as much territory as one
       can early in the game. (The Mac OSX version is awesome.)

Best game of all times on all systems:
UFO: Enemy Unknown (Nowadays: X-COM: Ufo Defense).

Best. Game. Ever.
