"Extreme Violence" - I first discovered this on an Amiga Power coverdisk, Issue 24.

It was a two player game where you would run about an arena, trying to kill the other player. You couldnt see the entire arena, so you would run about trying to hunt them down. The game had all kinds of powerups, for example, bouncing bullets, which made it more interesting. I think as the game went on, you had more walls appear in the arena so it became more complicated as well.

Great game, I found this website that has an .adf of it, I'd recommend it!

Silent Service (submarine game from A500 days) is one of my all-time faves. Very tough game to win  

Oh yeah!  My pal still had a C64 and was holding out, not wanting to upgrade.  I got my Amiga and did two things to him - first had the Say function call him up on the phone to announce my new Amiga  :lol:  and then I got Silent Service, which he LOVED on his 64, and told him that there were cruisers to fight against in my version which were not in the 64 version.  That tore it, he had to upgrade.  We both explored the Pacific for literally real-time days - too bad that there was no group play/wolf pack on that one....

Heh.. lots of games here which definitely aren't "hidden". Nuclear War, Zany Golf, North & South, Stunt Car Racer, Silent Service, Great Giana Sisters etc were THE REASONS to buy Amiga At least where I come

But then.. yeah.. Extreme Violence was great fun with two players. And I'm not sure if Persian Gulf Inferno was that hidden either, but it sure had balls in it's audio... you felt the power of the guns

I'd say real hidden gems are games which came only in german language. I recently found that there's lots of them and they seem to be pretty good quality. It's shame that those weren't sold in english too! There's lots of them even in late era from Amiga gaming (1995 and later). For example company strategy games (http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list.php?list_genre=Strategy&list_sub_genre=Company) which I was just looking. Pretty good looking ones there, but only in german Other categories too, but that's just what opened my eyes just

I don't know if Minskies Furballs is hidden, but that's very addicting game with two players too Late found for myself. Also Turboraketti 1 & 2 might be hidden for other than finns (almost like national game for us .
