What games on the Amiga that you find most ADDICTIVE?

[seanys]

Populous - I played that HEAPS.
Flight of the Intruder - lived and breathed that for a while too.
Magic Pockets - I think I'm the only one who thought it was fun.
Barbarian 2 - my first Amy game so, not knowing any better, I loved it.
Stunt Car Racer and Microprose F1 GP - Geoff Crammond is a genius.

...but the only game that kept me coming back over and over again, to this day is...

Llamatron!

[smoorke]

Colonial Conquest II
The Settlers

both games i still find very addictive and they are also one of the few games that can be started on my WinUAE OS3.9/AGA/RTG setup from the workbench without the need for WHDLoad or other patches

Colonial Conquest II does however have some bugs in it but nothing you will encounter during regular play. (they pop up when you are really really bored. eg. when you have more than 20 or so colony ships at the same planet and try to (un)load colonists)

In case of The Settlers it is nice to have it be so compatible
while with the pc version of that game i have trouble enabeling sound on Win 98se and XPsp2

Another addictive game is UFO-Enemy Unknown(AGA)
It is also HD installable but seems to feature random crashes when switching between the battlescape and world map.
But this might be due to any number of factors not inherent to the game itself. eg custom patches and the likes wich interfere with Workbench.
The game actually does these switches in a shell script so workbench popping to front and beeing closed again before it had the chance to fully open might be the culprit of crashing when engaging a downed ufo.
The only down side of the Amiga version of UFO is that night mode was never implemented and thus some atmosphere is lost.
And again i've failed to find a working version for modern pc's

[McVenco]

I noticed I didn't answer in this thread yet :-)

I really only played games when I still had my A500, after that with my A2000 and A3000 I just occasionally dropped in a disk, I was more into making mods and BBSes after that.

Anyway, the games that kept me going for hours were (in no particular order):

- Speedball II (icecream! icecream!)
- International Karate +
- Lotus 2 and 3
- Turrican 2
- Final Fight (I know, not the best fighter at all, but I found it very cool for some reason)
- SWIV
- Rodland (admit it, those 2 kids were just too cute :-) )

There's probably a few more, but I don't want to search the whole of hol.abime.net to find which games I had :lol:

[_yak_]

I didn't play a lot but on A500 my favorities were:
Lotus II (with my brother, great game)
Battle Squadron (again two player)
Silk Worm (two player, I was the HELI, my bro the JEEP)
Worms (with bunch of friends, custom samples, loads of fun)
Syndicate (I must admit I cheated a bit but it's a great game)

Later on A1200 I played ever less but sometimes I played:
Worms DC (even more fun)
and the best game I come back to regulary (what you can see by my avatar)

SLAM TILT

(Ace of space table is the best!)

[HotRod]

The Great Giana Sisters!!!!!! Bought TGGS for my cellphone and it sucks! :-( :-( :-( ... It looks the same but the fealing isn't there. The C64 and Amiga version are great though :-) . Plays it on the VICE emulator and E-UAE under AOS 4.0. Great fun! :-)

Oh Slam Tilt rules too... used to play it on my a4k but now I play that too under e-uae. There are loads of great old games but these rocks still today...

[guest3217]

So many more that are addictive...

[bburgy]

Defender of the Crown, Stunt Car Racer, Highway Hawks, Mortal Kombat, Rocket Ranger, Space Quest III, Marble Madness...

I think I should stop my list there. If I don't, I would continue on for a long, long time.

The Amiga is such an excellent gaming machine!

[amiga_3k]

That's an easy one: Microprose Formula 1 Grand Prix. Played it until 2000ish on a frequent base :-). I know there were others even more adicted to it (like the authors of F1GPed) but I even went through the pain of writing an AmigaBASIC program that would help setting-up the gearbox. It enabled me to become world-champion in Pro mode, in a Minardi ;-).

Even re-wrote it in ACE-BASIC so that I didn't have to turn off the FastMem (NoFastMem) for running the tool on the old A3000.
