Well, it had to be Q3 really, didn't it - it's the best, and definitely the most technically advanced, game ever to grace an Amiga. Quite amazing that bigfoot managed to port it to MorphOS in just a few hours.
Looking at the list, they're all MorphOS ports if I'm not mistaken. Was nothing released on the classic OS in 2005? I guess Desert Racing was too late to make the list.
-
Battle of Wesnoth is available to OS4 but not MOS. Andrea Palmate ported it to OS4 few moons ago but it doesnt build for me when doing MOS compile.
Other games are MorphOS ports but I think Hexen 2 and Descent Freespace 2 are available to classics and OS4 too
-
Desert Racing Of Bardos was in the list (http://hitparade.amigames.com/voteaward2005.php) but it haven't got enough votes to be in the Top 10.
It's clear that Amiga game-scene in 2005 was dominated by MorphOS games. But good commercial AmigaOS 4 games will come perhaps in 2006 (Hyperion ports, etc.).
-
does anyone know if any of these games are ported to aros?

How bizarre results.
-
wasnt quake3 ported to OS4 as well?? I am sure i saw some screenshots of it running there..

Yes, there is a screenshot of OS4 and Quake3 somewhere on the Hyperion website but I don't know how well it works or if / when they will release it.
Perhaps they will try to make some money from it like they did with Quake 2.
-
For me far the best game from the list is Virtual Grand Prix 2. It is truly awesome - but I have to admit, that Quake3 deserves the first place out of it's technical merits. It's far the most advanced game we have. But VGP2 means the most fun of all, once you manage to handle the cars :-)
-
Wot no Transport Tycoon?? Surely OpenTTD's port should have got a mention?! :-o

It had some glitches on OS4. Maybe Update4 will fix them, and Q3 eventually gets released.
For money or not, it soon will turn out. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be available for money.

But it did (http://hitparade.amigames.com/award2004.php)!

Err.. OK, so I'm a year out of date!! :crazy:
-
Is there any Amiga Quake 3 servers out there ?

And all the loonies with lap it up like good little worshippers. :lol:

Yes, VGP2 would have been my choice too. It's most "Amiga originating" and great game too. We haven't got any decent racing games for eternity either. For car handling you really need a usb-wheel... other controlling methods just don't work well enough. I played all races through with mouse/kb, but the real fun started now when I got wheel :)

Hyperion only did Quake2 officially.

Technically Quake3 is not an Amiga game.
