Well here's my opinions:

Best scrolling: Kid Chaos/Zool 1
Best pre-rendered graphics: Super Stardust/XP8
Best FMV: Microcosm/Alien Breed:Tower Assault
Best lighting: Genetic Species/OnEscapee

Best platform game graphics: Oscar/Superfrog
Best RTS graphics: Napalm/Exodus
Best FPS graphics: Quake 1/Alien Breed 3D2:TKG
Best fighting game graphics: Shadow Fighter/Body Blows:Galactic

Best 3D graphics: Heretic II/WipeOut 2097
Best 2D graphics: Myst/Monkey Island

Best explosions: Payback/Napalm
Best flight-sim graphics: TFX/Lambda

:-o :-D :-o :-D :-o :-D

I never tried T-Zero, that was a ClickBOOM 2D shoot 'em up right?

They were an excellent company I don't know what they are doing now.
Imagine how courageous you have to be to convert WipEout 2097 to
Amiga, haha... can you imagine the conversation to Psygnosis?

ClickBOOM: "Hello, yes, I would like to convert your multi-million
selling Playstation hovercraft racer to the Amiga"

Pysgnosis: "The Amiga? Ahaha"

ClickBOOM: "We just ported Quake and we've done a Command & Conquer
killer"

Psygnosis: "Err, alright, give us your money... oh and you don't get
the Firestarter music!"

ClickBOOM: "Mmmmalright"

;-) ;-) ;-)

As for Nemac IV I seem to remember it being very interesting to start
with, big guns and robots. Wasn't there some special thing in it, like
mines or something?

I'm going to have to try this Ruff 'N Tumble game. The main character
I seem to remember had a square chin, like a small kid?

More people seem to mention Ruff 'N Tumble than my favourite: Kid
Chaos...

Also, Genetic Species is sadly overlooked - don't you remember the FMV
intro on that? Amazing! And the weapons and lighting... woo!

A lot of Point 'N Click adventures had beautiful graphics because they
were mostly static bitmaps. The real test comes when you move your
beautiful graphics around the place.

Remember Settlers (/2) the intro cartoon with a knight on a
horse and his eyes were peeping out through the helmet? Those were
wonderful graphics, if just an intro.

:-D

Well I think ClickBOOM was the publisher or they had something to do
with it.

I wonder whoever it was though - where'd they get the money to do
that? I know it came to PC and Saturn, and then to N64 but was Amiga
the next choice?

It would be interesting to see the sales figures for WipEout 2097 on
Amiga. Quake at least supported AGA and 68k Amigas. WipEout 2097
needed a PPC and BVision minimum!
