alright so here's the deal: Throw in nominations for good amiga shoot em ups. In this case, we're counting games in the vein of project X and SWIV. So horizontally or vertically scrolling "spaceship" type of games (even if the character is not a spaceship, ala wings of death).
Maze or platform shooters (alien breed, turrican) don't qualify here.
Basically, nominate any amiga titles that you enjoyed playing, and which qualify. Once we have a decent list we'll do a vote, and eliminate games until we're down to the best :)
edit:
To kick things off -
Banshee
SWIV
Project X
Agony
Apidya
Disposable Heroes
R type
-
there are tons of shooters on the amiga but these games are for me the best ones
battle squadron
oath
z-out
hybris
megatyphoon
deluxe galaga
however the most popular shooter must be battle squadron or deluxe galaga
-
I say all of the psygnosis shooters like Blood Money...
-
Super Stardust AGA
-
Does Walker count?
-
Hmm does hired guns count as its a fps? If not then blood money :
Shoot em up not really my forte
-
I always loved Xenon 2 :)
-
Does "Better Dead Than Alien" count?
Seeing that after 20+ years I keep coming back to it, it must be good for some reason...
-
Silkworm
Disposable Hero
Deluxe Galaga
I rest my case.
-
Does Walker count?
It's a shooter, it should count. It's also a very cool game.
I would add Chaos Engine and the entire Alien Breed series to the list too.
-
It's a shame there never was a FPS for the Amiga. For what the Amiga did have, how 'bout Chaos Engine or Alien Bash II?
-
Hybris comes first for me, as it is the one that made me buy an A500 !
the only thing I missed is a 2-player mode, which was added in BattleSquadron, which is second in my list...
than comes Project-X as 3rd

Alien Breed 3D? Gloom? Breathless?
They'd be outside the topic though.
-
Hybris of course !!!
no contest the best shooter game for amiga !!!
Banshee too :)
Rednova
-
Would "Gravity Force 2" count?
-
My vote is for T-Zero, followed by Apidya, then Deluxe Galaga and then Xenon 2.
-
Probably Battle Squadron
-
Z-out for me.
Honorable mentions must go to Stardust, Super Stardust, Banshee and Xenon1 (way better than no.2) as well :)

+1 Hilarious multiplayer fun.
