What is some of your favourite TBS games on the miggy ?

A few that spring to mind: Civilization, the Battle Isle games, Historyline, Perfect General, Lasersquad UFO / XCOM (was there ever an american release of the amiga version?) and others.

Games that combine turn based with real time elements are probably okay too (Centurion ?)


Wanted to figure out the Breach series, but have a heck of a time.


Hi,

I liked NUKE war, It came from the desert, Defender of the crown, and also Soliton, and Megaball, Soliton and Megaball are usually the first games I put on my Amiga. The third game to go on my Amiga is Crazy 8's . Then OK I go crazy over DOOM.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Hmm.... One of my favourite genres indeed.
A few old classics that already has been mentioned springs to mind.
However, for being "new", and still in development, and for one game
never beeing the same ever (and multiplayer-func. of course), I'd go for
TotalChaos AGA!
(Still waiting for a CGX/P96-version with online-play) :rtfm:
intuition inside!

UFO is one of the best games ever, but it's painfully slow on ANY Amiga including 060. When you are e.g. cleaning a very large ship and you have the view raised to the "3rd floor" the scrolling and cursor reactions slow down to a crawl. It's much faster on a PC (and I'm talking about 486...).

many many years ago I was addicted to UFO enemy unknown.
The port to amiga must have been really crudely and cheaply done
because of the slowiness. When attacking alien bases
it usually took about 3 hours just to get your squads
down into the main hallways.

Then I found "Chaos" which was like a perfect strategy game for me.
Then came "Chaos Heavy" which quadruplicated everything
that was good in Chaos and added lots more.

Now there is "Total Chaos" and I am in heaven.
Other strategy games of any sort is really boring compared.
You actually need to use your brain in this one.
You could say it is like UFO enemy unknown
if UFOEU had 10 times more variety in weapons,
telekinesis abilities, tornados throwing things in every direction,
multiplying alien gooey blobs trapping in the soldiers,
lifesucking aliens, action option to eat the dead aliens for extra life,
a device to create a temporary wall somewhere (force field),
quad bikes or similar to ride so that you cover more ground faster,
and more science fiction replacements
for everything that is in Total Chaos. (too much to remember)

It is my personal opinion that there wont be any strategy game
made that is any better than Total Chaos until like 2090.
