About 75% of them were technically beneath the OCS abilities IMHO.


This.

Nothing ground my gears more than seeing straight EGA ports of games that the Amiga should have swallowed and had rattling around inside it.  

For me the worst game I actually paid money for was Hillsfar (an allegedly AD&D based game).

That doesnt make it the worst commercial Amiga game.. ;)

In fact, its rather good. Way above average and the 3D engine worked really well back then, especially on a 030 machine. Also it was full of fun little quests and had a huge interactive, free-roaming world. Its just like Skyrim really.


Just like Skyrim?  Hell, watch this interview with ES top developer Todd Howard:

For the linkshy (or those who can't view the videos at work) Howard cites Legends of Valour as an influence on the entire Elder Scrolls series.

Legends of Valour had variable height floors/second story buildings and "windows" well prior to the release of DOOM.  What a great old game it was!

There! Thanks for sharing that, I didnt know. Skyrim is one fantastic game.


I love it.  It really puts me back in the saddle with PC gaming.
