First Amiga game you've played

[amiga92570]

First game I played was nuclear war. I still play it. hahha

[GW]

Either Barbarian (Psygnosis) or SDI (Cinemaware).
The computer was an Amiga 500 and the year was 1988.

Barbarian was included with the Amiga 500 that my father bought. He also purchased SDI at the same time as the Amiga. I can't recall which game I played first.

A bit off topic..

I remember the first that I saw a screenshot of an Amiga game. It was on the backside of a "Borrowed time" box. I was amazed by the graphics because it looked so much better than the IBM PC CGA version of "Borrowed time". But a couple of years later when I had an opportunity to play the Amiga version, of that game, and I thought it look quite bad.

I also remember the first the I saw an Amiga game in real life. It was the intro to "Defender of the Crown" played on an Amiga 2000 in a computer store. The golden logo looked so much better than anything I had seen on a computer at that time.

must have been Hybris at a frends place, thats the game that convinced me I had to have an Amiga. had a C64 at the time.

The first game which I played was Lotus Turbo Challenge 2. During the same day, I tried also demos of Pinball Dreams and Shadowlands

I find that really curious because, if IIRC, Lotus 2 didn't work on an A500+ because it "banged the hardware" in an unsupported fashion??

I'm thinking of the version that came with the Philips monitor?  Or perhaps it was the A1200 it didn't work with - can someone enlighten me (not that its important)

Rude!

I guess i strted with IK+. That was one ofthe rare games I understood and possessed.
Also within the very Amiga 1st games there was Turrican, Defender of the crown Firepower and Kick off. A bit later I was impressed by hostages and shadow of the beast. Back in the days I owned spread disks only (in my school class alone there were ~7 Amiga owners). Wow - that's longs years ago!

Still playing Turrican today (in the meanwhile I own a nice boxed original (incl. poster)).

Are you sure? I can swear it worked on my a600 atleast, which is basically the same machine in a smaller package. I dont recall if i used softkick though, but i find it doubtful.

I'm not sure, but I think it was Cruise for a Corpse. It came bundled with my brothers A600HD.

[amazing]

dont know what year but the first i think was Obliterator(psygnosis)
ports of call was 1 of my favorite

and aargh was a cool game to

[amiga_3k]

I don't remember which game. The A500 came with the 3 disks from Commodore: Workbench1,3 (no games on that one), Extras1,3 (no games as far as I remember, or it must be an odd BASIC game that I had no idea of on how to use it) and Commodore's Dutch introduction to the Amiga: Amiga Stap voor Stap.

There was also a FredFish disk collection of 10 floppies, can't remember anything usefull on those. So my guess would be.... either Warzone (the game with the little tank) or Protector. If I had to put money on it: Warzone! That were the days... 1988... I was like 16 or so.

[XDelusion]

 I'm not sure, though the first game I remember playing was Myth. That game is still addictive!

[twizzle]

my m8 bought his daughter a new a500+ 2 months before exmas 89/90 for her school work :roll:

so we just had to try it out,3 nights a week playing
wolfchild, then we found gods :-D
she never got a look in until after the new year.

[Seiya]

my first games played on A500 was Another World and Wing Commander

[Lockon_15]

F-16 Falcon
Plain A500 Tiger Edition, 15.07.1989.

Since I had some PC experience, I thought that game should be "installed" before first startup so I loaded Workbench. It took me few hours of a pain disk switching before I accidently recovered a universal secret of Amiga custom bootblock. BTW, while on topic, let me embarass myself a bit more than this...it took me over a week to discover soft-reset combo...I was to lazy to RTFM  

 :-D

Ahhh, that golden era....

My first Amiga game ( :boohoo: ) was Lemmings (first version) on my Amiga 2000. What a beatiful day! :-)

[Jupp3]

I think the first Amiga game I ever played was Leatherneck on a friends' A500. For some reason I still ended up buying an own Amiga a few years later, despite that experience :-D

[Vulture]

Mine was midnight resistance on a friend's A500. 1st on my A500 was speedball 2 and on my current beloved A1200 first was, oddly enough, blues brothers.
