What do you mean by best ? One that is most fun ? Or one that pushes amigas limits and good to look at ?

if former, maybe eye of the beholder 2 or turrican 2 or pirates.

if latter, Shadow of the Beast. Period.

We should make a "top 100" poll and let people vote for the list.

Then we could put the results on the site

It would be cool.

Post by: Wolfe on August 16, 2008, 11:20:16 AM
Sorry but their is too many to choose from to pick so few . . . So I guess I'll break it down to what is most played . . to name a few . . .

Populous 2
Alien Breed (any)
Their Finest Hour
Napalm
Chaos Engine
Nuclear War
Wings
Speedball (any)
G.O.D.S.
Banshee
Dune 2

As you can see, I could go on because there are just too many good games to just choose a few . . .

Amiga is like " The greatest hits of retro gaming "

Post by: Congealed on August 17, 2008, 10:19:59 PM
First post here,

I would say that the best Amiga game in any genre is:
Total Chaos

It is also, in my opinion, the best game on any system and in any genre.  I am truly hooked on it!  In fact that reminds me, I had better go and start another mammoth match and get my fix before it gets too late!

I also like Gods
Title: Re: Best Amiga game - any genre.
Post by: arkpandora on August 19, 2008, 02:28:48 AM
Maupiti Island.  To date the Amiga version is the only video game I can call a masterpiece.

Well, it must be the seventh time I write this on a forum.

Formula One Grand Prix

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/bd/Grand_Prix_Game_Screenshot.jpg/250px-Grand_Prix_Game_Screenshot.jpg)

The graphics and realism were amazing on an A500 in 1992. I still find F1GP more enjoyable than many 'modern' driving games on more powerful computers and consoles. The game is made even better by Oliver Roberts' F1GP-Ed.

Post by: Voyager74 on September 01, 2008, 09:04:13 AM
I agree with most ppl, hard to narrow down to 1 favourite.
There's so many fun multiplayer games for our platform.
Could the moderators perhaps arrange an official poll?

Since I mostly like Strategy/RPG's ;)

Total Chaos AGA (Great game!!!)
Lords of Chaos (Thanks Amiga, for the best platformversion)
Wizardry (Shame further games weren't ported)
Dungeon Master (Both parts)
K-240 (Sweet, but far to ez)
Frontier - Elite II (One of the most anticipated sequels)

-intuition inside!-
