I spent many an hour on Frontier, Syndicate, Wing Commander (normal and CD32 version), Microprose F1 GP, Theme Park, A-train and Liberation: Captive II (CD32 version).

Difficult to pick a favourite, although I have a massive soft spot for the Wing Commander series in general, shame it ended.

Games that I played most are F1GP, Wipeout 2097, PGA Euro tour golf AGA, F15 Strike Eagle II, Turrican 2, Slamtilt, Monkey Island II, Lotus III, Myst.. the list is endless.. Overall winner for me is, I think, Slamtilt. Since its still so enjoyable and hasnt aged a bit.

My favorite games for Amiga are:
Lemmings, Worms, Mean Arenas, Super Stardust, Clockwiser, Cannon Fodder, Nicky Boom, Shadow of the Beast 3. There are more but these stand out the most.
I think that's it.

Since people here have mentioned szome of my favorite games like point and click adventure games ill say some not mentioned.

Moonstone: A hard days knight - Superb game, loads of fun and even multiplayer.

James Pond 2, robo cod - This game has given me loads of hours.

Tearaway thomas - Not everyone likes the high speed, but I love this one, keep you on your toes and work on your skills.

PANG - This is a aweasome game to play with a friend, you will love and hate each other :D

Dune 1-2 - Needs no explanation.

Syndicate - Nice game but not for everyone.

Another world - Great game, hard sometimes and it has a nice intro vid.

Flashback - Somewhat like above game but looks alot better.

Prince of persia - No need of explanation.

Arabian Nights - Underused gem, people tend to forget about it, but it's an nice looking platformer with decent controls.

Ruff 'n' Tumble - Nice little game, feels a bit like a more simple version of metal slug.

Toki - Many would not agree with me on this one, but I like to be a human transformed to a monkey with oversized head whos goal is to find his love taken by a "huge hand"!

Project X - Great Shmup without any doubt at par with R-Type

Swiv - Needs no explanation.
I could keep writing forever since I love a LOT of games for the Amiga.

EDIT: forgot to mention Silk worm after swiv! Great for 2 players.

There is also a bunch of good RPG's for the Amiga that I love.

http://www.shoecakegames.com/sneech/

and all the Alien Breed games to name but a few.

Aaargh!
Way of the Little Dragon

Post by: desiv on August 13, 2012, 04:19:20 AM
There are so many, but as I think about it, it's kind of funny..
If I go by the game I play the most.....

It's going to be MegaBall (and MegaBallAGA)...

It's the first game I put on all my Amigas, and in between playing other games, I usually fire up a game of that...

Rally?  That was a fun game.  Loved the Jazz brass at the start.

Anyway dispite the Deja vu my favorite is: Loopz.  On WHDload.  Though I have the boxed game too.

Hired guns did have a good atmosphere.  A friend of mine thought it was the best(This is back in 95).  I never had the time it deserved.

BTW: Just been testing AntAttack on my ZX Spectrum.  Now that is a hard game to master.

Wait what? Worms Armageddon? Released 1999 on Windows machines... There are 2 Worms games for Amiga, Worms 1 and the AGA Worms The Directors Cut. But Worms is a nice game!

And what grand prix game? I guess you are talking about Formula One Grand Prix, or are you talking about any of the about 10-15 other Amiga games with Grand Prix in the title?

A lot of the other games you mentioned are good games tho, keep in mind that you need a quite expanded Amiga to run Sim City 2000 well since it's a really bad port.

Of course you're right. It's Worms Directors Cut. I still have my original boxed copy of it.

And yes, Formula One Grand Prix by Microprose.

I also really liked Morph. I had, and still have the CD32 version.
