What would you say are some of the best Arcade conversion to Amiga? Looking back now I can't believe just how accurate some of the games were! Brilliant stuff.
Good ones I remember were Rainbow Islands and SWIV.
How about you? Which ones really gave you that 'Arcade at home' feel via your Amiga 8-)

IMHO Ghosts'n'Goblins from ELITE!

I thought the port from the Nija turtles was ok. I like the Gianna sisters though I think it was a c64 conversion. There was a game that had ninjas that turned into robots, but i cant remember the title. I'll have to go through my 3000+ rotting DD disk collection :)

There really were some pixel perfect conversion! Amazing display of the Amiga in the late 80s and 90s running head to head with the Arcade.
SWIV? Or did I mean Silkworm? lol.
The New Zealand Story was a pretty seamless port too, if I remember rightly.

Great Giana Sisters was in the arcade??

rodland??

Best conversion?
Arcadia games. =) Magic Johnson's Fast Break, Space Ranger, etc.
Since the arcade hardware WAS an Amiga with a cartridge port of sorts added, releasing the Amiga ports of these games was a cinch. =)
-
The New Zealand Story and Rainbow Islands for sure. Ocean made a variety of coin-op conversions, some of them are very good. Also I liked the first Mortal Kombat.
-
Pang. Its probably better than the arcade version.
-
Pacmania
-
Commando :p
-
Bubble Bobble, Midnight Resistance, Pit Fighter, R-Type, R-Type II, Toki.

Yeah Pang on the Amiga is great, one of my faves for sure :)
-
Cabal, Golden Axe, Robocop, Terminator 2.
-
Hehehe... Operation Wolf and Combat School (was this a coin-op convertion, I don't remember)... :crazy:
-
Were there two different Terminator 2 games? The one I remember was dreadful, or was the arcade game just as bad, which makes this a good conversion?
I enjoyed (and still do) racing games and I seem to remember Super Monaco GP being similar to the arcade. Chase HQ didn't seem bad at the time either.

Is so perfect conversion that I always wondered if the arcade was actually an Amiga
-
Parasol Stars :-)
-
Pang the best yeah.lol
-
I also like Golden Axe one of the bests.Rodland too.
Out Run not near to the Arcade but perfect to feel the magic of the game better than other 16-bit,8-bit versions.
Space Ace a truly movie on your Amiga.
Toki very good and Pit-Fighter near perfect.
There are tons of conversions too.
I also liked Big Run a racing game that I only played a bit.
-
Shadow Dancer was a good conversion, too. I am not sure if it was arcade perfect, but the best version of this game was on Amiga for sure.
-
Final Fight wasnt too bad I thought. Shadow Warriors was very close, minus a slightly pale color palette was next to perfect. Ninja Warriors was as close as possible without using the three screens of its arcade parent. Double Dragon 3 was also very close.
-
Operation Wolf
Chase HQ
T2 the Arcade Game
Final Fight
Arcade conversions are what made me need the Amiga at the age of about 11.
