Your favourite developer?

[motrucker]

I'll have to say Bitmap Bros. too. But Psygnosis and Team 17 are right up there too.

Manfred Trenz? Not really an Amiga developer though, at least not for the game series he was most famous for, Turrican. I've always liked the games from Thalion too: high quality games that were unfortunately very underrated.

[tokyoracer]

Psygnosis, Ocean, Gremlin, Digital Illusions and Team 17

I owe a sizeable portion of my childhood to David Braben's Frontier Elite.  Another chunk went to Sid Meir's Civilisation, and still another chunk went to Sensible Software's Cannon Fodder!

[Varthall]

Kenta Cho and Pixel (of Cave Story fame), although their games have been ported to Amiga and not been directly programmed on them.

[djrikki]

FTL who made Dungeon Master; arguably the best game in its genre.

And yes David Braben's Elite I played for many years on the Speccy and the Amiga.

Whoever was responsible for Populous is worth a mention.

And who cannot forget LucasArts and the Monkey Island games; a classic series of games that are still very much playable thanks to their depth and longevity, excellent humour and engrossing story.

PS: Eye of the Beholder was rubbish in comparison.

Silmarils and Vulcan

My favorite  - Cinemaware for making Wings, Three Stooges and Defender of the Crown... I never ever get tired of those classics!

Also honorable mentions to:
  Micropose for Pirates!
  Psygnosis for Awesome and The Killing Game Show
  Interplay for Bard's Tale - I played many,many hours on that one...
  Infocom for all their great Text Adventures

Blue Byte ( Settlers ) and Thalion.
And who made Dune2 BTW ? That was great too.
And Wing Commander (only CD32 Version) was cool)

[djrikki]

Dune 2 was Westwood Studios, personally I preferred the first one.  Inspired me enough to go and rent a video of the movie which was also good.  Odd to see Sting in a film. O.o

So many, Might and Magic I, II and III I played to death.

I spent hours playing SSI's AD&D games; eg. Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn and a zillion others.

Sierra Online produced some quite amazing games on the Amiga.

Captive from Mindscape was a gem, unique gameplay, fun bouncing the balls of the walls, lovely map designs, unlimited levels I believe as well.  I always remember struggling to work out how to open the first frigging door/portal.

My favourite RPGs have always been on the Amiga never really got in the PC gaming scene, did playable Ultima Online once many years ago.  For the last 5 years I've been playing a turn-based strategy game in a similar vein to all the great AD&D games mentioned above.  Its called Dofus, subscription is dirt cheap about £6 a month.  Probably the best online game fantasy game available on the Mac unless you have a large wallet and love 3d games like the almighty World of Warcraft. - tbh Mac isn't exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to online games.

Electronic Arts for Powerdrome and (I think they did Indianapolis 500) I always thought indy 500 was very impressive
