Amiga BEST game ever

[arcticandyb]

Too difficult.  If you could pick one per genre then it might be easier..

Sports :-> SWOS
Sims :-> Falcon+Mission Disks
Racing :-> Lotus II
Space :-> Wing Commander
Platform :-> Flashback
Adventure :-> Beneath a Steal Sky
Weird :-> Populous
Strategy :-> Civilization
Star Trek (yes Star Trek is it's very own genre) :-> Star Trek, 25th Anniversary.
RPG :-> Black Crypt

I know everyone could replace each of these with an equally good game, and in fact I could replace most of them with games I liked just as much - like Frontier instead of Wing Commander or Pool of Radiance instead of Black Crypt or even Jaguar XJ220 instead of Lotus Turbo II - so again I say, the best Amiga gamer ever?  Not possible there are just too many to list.

I wonder how many PC gamers know what they owe Amiga gaming

Actually quite a few.  Obviously many ex-Amigans are now PC owners, but also magazine writers still acknowledge the Amiga for previous versions of new games and every time a new C&C is released one of the most common statements in a review is
.."RT Strategy series that started with Dune II on the Amiga.."

Dune II is acknowledged as the forefather of the Real Time Strategy, just as Populous is often acknowledged as the forefather of God Games.

PC Gamer, PC Zone and ofcourse PC Format are the most common culprits for Amiga references, CGW is another.

Linux Format hosts a number of ex Amiga Format and Amiga Shopper writers - just stick one of your favourite writers from defunct Amiga mags into a Google search and often you'll see which magazine they're working for now.
