The best know Amiga game?

[GPT]

What is the best know Amiga game?
That people who has abandon Amiga may recognize.
Like Super Mario does for Nintendo.
What games does that for Amiga?

Why I ask?

I have an Amiga emulator for my Xbox and I can't deside what music the emulator should play.

And... ...I want music from the best know Amiga game.

For most effect it should be one of the real break through games for Amiga 500 or maybe a unque game for the Amiga that no other platform hade at that time.

Hmm,  how about:

Shadow of the Beast
Awesome
Agony

.. pretty mucn any Psygnosis game actually

[Legerdemain]

Well, I would say that the only games I hear non-AMiGA users talk about here in Sweden are... Moonstone, Super Cars II and, uhm, Ports Of Call?

Don't know why it is like this...  I don't find either of them anything but dated and badly coded... well, Ports Of Call still holds up rather well, but not the other two.

Some few talks about Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies aswell, but seldom never titles...

[Revener]

Moonstone rules  is a bit buggy though.

other games that last are Oil Imperium and Manager.

-Alien Breed
-Another World
-Wings

[X-ray]

Lemmings
Wings
Worms
Slamtilt
Superfrog

I'd have to say the Lemmings series, though many may not connect it to the Amiga. Its the first game that pops into my head when I am asked to name an Amiga game.

Wings, it came from the desert are two others that are Amiga greats too.

Superfrog (lucozade rules)
Speedball
Shadow of the beast
Alien Breed series
Lemmings series

That's a good selection  

I'd add Speedball2, Chaos Engine, and ArmourGeddon..  also Awesome was one of my all time favourites.  Speaking of which, what about Hybris?  Classic vertical scrolling shooter fun!

Chaos Engine
Indy 4
Superfrog
Heimdall 1 & 2
Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies
and many more...

Thanks I think I'll go with:

Speedball 2
Chaos Engine
Moonstone
Pinball Illusion
Alien Breed
Lemmings

...and all the rest :-D .

Most known game? I'd have to say Lemmings or Shadow of the Beast. Perhaps that Crown of Whatever medieval game in the early days--the Cinemaware one with Jim Sachs art.

Most memorable music? Lemmings, hands down. It drills into your brain like a parasite and lays its eggs.

Lemmings 2 has better music, though.

Hey, you all forgot Giana Sisters!

It's a classic even though it's a rip-off.

[Tahoe]

Defender of the Crown
Hybris
F18 Interceptor (top gun-like theme tune!! yeah!)
Arkanoid / Crystal Hammer
Lemmings
Settlers
Cannon Fodder
Zool was supposed to be the sega hedgehog buster!
and if you are looking for music: Xenon II - Megablast

[jlariv8957]

How about cinemaware games ?

They all contributed to the success of the Amiga
Think Defender of the crown, Simbad, Wings, and many others
(if i remember there were also: it came from desert, the three stooges, rocket ranger,any other idea ??)
Great other games not mentioned were: starray, f18 interceptor, test drive, lemmings, ports of call..
 
About cinemaware games: oldies are all free downloadable on the cinemaware site, thanks them all !!
