I like every game for the Amiga, but the two best ones are:

1. Marble Madness - my first Amiga game and will always be number one for that reason.

2. DataStorm - This is just THE best Defender clone ever done. I can play this game for a whole day and never tire. Beaten it countless of times but never bores me.

...and all Cinemaware games ofcourse.

Agreed, CEII was nothing Bitmap Brothers could be proud of, for me it even seemd that the graphics of the II were some kind of trashy compared to the first version...

2-person playing in team mode was so exciting in the first version...   :-D

It was a bit linear but nevertheless funny to play. And that wonderful credits song made by Chris Huelsbeck... wow, what a great time!

needless to say, my favourite Amiga game (series) was Turrican

PS: hi to everybody, I'm new to this forum but NOT to the Amiga :-)
Title: Re: favorite amiga game
Post by: PMC on May 22, 2003, 05:09:14 PM
In it's own right it wasn't bad, but compared with Turrican II it wasn't as good to play, as well drawn or as well coded.  

It looked like it had been ported straight from a SNES console!

Title: Re: favorite amiga game
Post by: on May 22, 2003, 11:42:44 PM
No doubt:

Another World by Delphine Soft

It is an old action adventure which connects movie sequences with the game so well, that you just feel that you are participating in your greatest adventure ever.

Post by: smerf on May 23, 2003, 05:23:31 AM
Hi,

My favorite Amiga game was Arcticfox by Electronic Arts. It was too bad that they copy protected this game because it only worked with AmigaDos 1.0 and 1.1 which only ran on the Amiga 1000.

Once again I think copy protection killed the Amiga because once it did come out with a hard drive you didn't have anything to put on it because it was all copy protected. So once again  I will say

Thanks a lot Electronic Arts by putting a nail in the coffin of the Amiga by copy protecting your stuff. Why don't you do that on your PC games you bunch of software bandits.

Now enough of my high horsin and hey come on now you all forgot Mega Ball one of the most fun and shocking games on the Amiga. You know competein with your friends for high score, the falling bombs, the music brick that picked up the speed and the score of the game, this game had everything. So my votes go for:

1. Arctic fox
2. Mega BAll
3. Dragon Master
4. Fairy Tale


I won't really vote for Doom and Quake, they were PC games when they first came out. I remember when the programmers of Doom said that the Amiga just didn't have enough power to run doom. This was one of the biggest nails in the coffin of the Amiga.

Smerf

IMHO the biggest nail in the Amiga's coffin was piracy.  Although it cost games publishers much more to produce a console cart, it was pretty much guaranteed that they'd get a return on each one.  Okay, there was some limited scale console piracy, but with the Amiga (and ST for that matter), it was only a matter of time before a game was cracked and ten copies distributed to every one sold.  

Not surprisingly, the game industry went the route of the console to protect their investment.  That said, how they could justify a sticker price of £24.99 when the 8-bit equivilents sold for only £8.99 probably made the problem much worse.

As for Doom, Quake etc, I do remember ID software saying that they couldn't be done on the Amiga.....  But to ignore these titles because they were PC ports would be unfair to those who worked hard to bring us their own third party patches - released at no cost to the end user- so that we could enjoy these great games.

 :-)

@Turrican3

Hi, welcome to amiga.org.

You're right, Turrican 3 was a bit linear. I think it was a pity they changed the main sprite for the third game as well - the Turrican sprite in 1 and 2 has got to be one of the most fluid, beautifully animated sprites in any arcade game.

It was hard to get used to not having the 360 laser weapon at your disposal also. I realise this was to shake up the formula a bit as many magazines at the time claimed that Turrican 2 had been too similar to the original to be a classic in its own right. (Daft or what?)

Still, it was a bit disconcerting to be under attack in Turrican 3 and holding down the fire button to unleash laser death on some winged nasty, only to end up chucking a rope at it.

As for my favourite game ever, well, it's easily Turrican 2.

Sheer, unadulterated arcade perfection - I don't think it's ever been bettered.
Title: Re: favorite amiga game
Post by: JetRacer on May 23, 2003, 03:48:34 PM
For every game you guys mentioned, there are ten more you've forgot you knew =)

Some classic ones:
Utopia
K240
Settlers
HeroQuest1 & 2
SpaceHulk
AlienBreed
PhantasieIII (boo, hiss =)

Some more modern ones:
Frontal Assault
CrossFireII
XtremeRacing
Gloom
Taskforce
HellSquad
Muscarine 2.0 (from aminet: outrageusly cool and original)
YAGG
Roketz
Deluxe Galaga
AMPU
SuperFoulEgg
Colonial Conquest II
Cthangband (Angband clone, IMHO much better than the original)

Of all the shoot-em ups I've ever played on any platform this is the game I keep coming back to.  I've lost count of the number of times I've completed it, but the beautiful animation, smooth scrolling and nice visual touches are only part of what makes this game great.

There are a wide array of weapons, the perfectly judged difficulty level and so many secret areas all make this game so addictive, even twelve years on.  Every time I play it I still notice something new.

Post by: Phantom206 on May 29, 2003, 12:59:09 AM
My favourite Amiga game is still the series of Shadow of the Beast. Can the pc make 64 colours from a palette of 16? I think will never do. The next game I loved was Sensible World Of Soccer, followed by ... a lot of games (Everyone knows that the most of Amiga games are classic).
Title: Re: favorite amiga game
Post by: KyrianBrextor on June 06, 2003, 11:48:41 AM
It seems difficult to select just one favourite game. I played a lot of games fairly much... Seems none have mentioned "Project X" though... Was it too difficult? I played it a lot, and in the end could easily get to the third level without dying once.

Anyways, other titles to remember:

Space Crusade + Expansion
The Ishar series
The Eye Of The Beholder Series

And of couse, a lot of the games, others have already mentioned ;-)

Ah yes, I recall trying to figure that one out.  I knew someone who had an Archimedes who was adamant that it couldn't be done, even after he saw it with his own eyes.

You can thank our old friend the "Copper" for that.  The darling of so-many demo coders could produce some lovely colour graduated backdrops with no significant hit on performance - check the backgrounds for Turrican II, Trolls, Nebulus etc to see how it looked.   :-D  :-D

I'm probably the only person here who never thought much of platformers.  Didn't play 'em on the '64, didn't play 'em on the Amiga.

Flight Sims on the Amiga rocked.  Falcon + expansion disks were the bomb.  Until Falcon 3.0 came out, Falcon on the PC (even Falcon AT) was junk compared to the Amiga version(s).

So that said, for me, it was:

Falcon
Gunship 2000
M1 Tank Platoon

Yep.

My favorite game on the Amiga would have to be SideWinder.  My favorite game on the Atari ST is Barbarian II.  My favorite Game on the Super Nintendo is Shanghai II.  My favorite game of all time, so far, is Doom and Doom II on the PC.  I also like Duke Nukem, Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Voyager Elite Force (all for the PC).  I also like Golden Eye on the Nintendo 64.     :-P

Going by games I bought.  I only bought stuff that I came back to for more often enough to justify cash**, sort of like ShareWare, only not so moral?

And, since the question asked for my favourite of all time, I'll start with that, then in no order particular:

Hired Guns
Syndicate*
Super Skidmarks 2
The Settlers
WizKid
SWIV
Frontier: Elite II*
Sensible Soccer


I never managed to beat the high-score for Wizeroids to win the game.  I never got it working on my A1200, mind.  And did you see WizKid's birthday?

Sensible are my kind of wierd.

If I were able to spend money on games, I'd buy Payback, anything that might give Hyperion some cash and a whole heap of ClickBoom games I missed out on, including Napalm, which I was unable to back-order for some reason on their end, and never had the money again, and T-Zero.

*I tried to mention only Amiga originals (ie, released on Amiga at the same or better quality as any other platform it was released on, at the same release time or earlier) where possible.

**Other people have or may mention the other games I liked, but no cash, no claim.  :-P

Did anyone ever see Hired Guns 2 on the PC?  Did the story-line progress, or was the idea wrecked?

Chaos Engine,
Settlers,
Monkey Island 1 + 2,
Wings,
Speedball 2,
Gods,
Superfrog...

I remember playing a game called Legends of Valour for hours...can't remember if it was any good tho...


Hey what a good idea for a poll! :
What is your favourite Amiga game?

(judging by what's gone before, although not doing an accurate count, the options would be something like:
1. Settlers
2. Superfrog
3. Alien Breed (any flavour)
4. Speedball II
5. Turrican II
6. What's an Amiga?

Post by: max_lords on September 17, 2003, 02:11:21 PM
So far I'd have to say:

Awesome
Shadow of the Beast
Shufflepuck Cafe
Blood Money

I have a TON of Amiga games to work my way through before I decide if there's any I like better!  Project-X is awesome, but the difficulty is INSANE!

My personal favorite Amiga game of all time is Sidewinder, the top-scrolling, action-packed shooter for the OCS Amigas.  My second favorite Amiga game of all time is Gods, the really cool platform game also for the OCS Amigas.  My favorite game of all time on any and all computers is Doom 2 for the PC (hence the name- DoomMaster).     :-D

Like Defender of the Crown, TV Sports, It came from the Desert and Antheads.

Turrican 1+2, Rainbow Islands, Superfrog, Alienbreed and NewZealand Story.

Marble Madness and Back to the Future 2.

Oh yeah... Sim City on the Amiga was devine too.

Hi,

My favorite game was arctic fox by electronic arts, but this soon faded away since commodore went to the operating system 1.2 and electronic farts game would no longer play on the updated os.  I will say it again copy protection killed the Amiga since some programs would not load with os upgrades and certianly copy protected programs could not be run on hard drives.

So to Electronic farts and every other software maker who used copy protection I now salute you with the fickle finger of faith and say I will never buy another one of your games especially if they are for a PC cloner.

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.
Title: Re: favorite amiga game
Post by: A4kT on March 05, 2004, 10:44:38 AM
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.)

Although it pains me to say it, since I got an a1200 at the end of last year again Ive discovered that the nostalgic memories are often more fun than the games I was nostalgic about. Most Amiga games really havent aged well (even compared to other, even older machines).

Having said this though the sheer volume of titles means that if even only 1% are worth playing then there's still a heck of a lot of good titles out there. In no particular order the Amiga games I still enjoy most are:

Monkey Island 1 and 2. Not quite as good as pc or mac versions for no.2, but the amiga was where I 1st played them. No.3, while one of my all time favorite games on any platform didnt make my list as its not an amiga game (even though I 1st played it on amiga through scummvm 5 or 6 years ago).

Soccer Kid: One of the few original Amiga platform games able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the console offerings. Nice and slick and smooth, and controls well (even if I normally cant stand soccer itself).

Ruff'N'Tumble: Looks great and plays great. A little sluggish, and no parallax, etc., but this in no way hampers a great game. Renegades best game.

Robocod: An all time classic in my opinion. Sits somewhere between Sonic and Mario in terms of gameplay. Thankfully it also has similarly addictive qualities to the 2 games it was heavily inspired by.

Z-Out: awesome 2d shooter. VERY heavily inspired by RType, but technically more proficient (some great multi level parallax in later levels). One of the few Rtype clones that understood Rtype wasnt just a mindless shooter with pretty gfx. Amiga rtype was pretty decent, but not quite close enough to make my list

Addams Family: Fantastic Mario Clone that wasstrongest on the Amiga. SNES and Megadrive versions have parallax and a few other bits of eye candy, but dont play as nicely

Shadow Of The Beast3:  For my tastes the definitive SOTB. Graphically and sonically something of a mix between the 1st 2, but gameplay wise more akin to a fine tuned no.2. Great game.

Payback: So strongly resembles gta that Im surprised there was no legal trouble. Huge effort for 1 man. Plays quite nicely

Black Crypt: I always wanted to like dungeon master, but my brother played it to death and then some. Black Crypt was my replacement DM and a damn fine game  in its own right.

XTreme Racing: One of the better mario kart clones. I dont know why I like it, I just do. Has that same irritating but addictive gameplay as snes mari karts. Simultaneously fun and annoying.

Sinbad And The THrone Of The Falcon: Probably my favorite Cinemaware game. That may be due to nostalgia in part, but the game itself holds up pretty well. *THE* game that made me need an amiga back in '86.
