Title: best games for amiga 2000 ?
Post by: rednova on January 30, 2014, 12:19:13 AM
Dear Amigans:

I am enjoying my working amiga 2000.
I have a few games : defender of the crown, shadow of the beast 1, and gunship.
Can you suggest to me what are the best games for amiga 2000 ?
If you tell me, I can then try to get the games to play on my amiga.
Thank you !!!

I loved to play MechForce on the 2k years ago.  Judging by your avatar, it might be a hit for you!
 
It was the most addictive Amiga game I have ever played, by a long shot.

You might like Wings. It can be installed on your hard drive too. Granted it's an old game, but a good one.

I *loved* MechForce back in the day!  Sadly could never get it to run on anything beyond a 1MB, 1.3 A500, however.  Shame it was never updated for 2.0-compatibility.  Anyone had any luck running it recently?  Wow was it a time vampire, though.  Think I work too much to have time for MechForce, these days.  ;)
 
As far as games that run on an A2000, pretty much anything that doesn't require AGA will run.  Depends what kind of games you like?  If you're into action stuff, I've really been enjoying Ruff-N-Tumble lately.  One of the most polished non-AGA action games.  Been banging through it with that new joystick from AmigaKit, lol.  ;)

Of course I was always more into strategy and RPG stuff, the Gold Box AD&D stuff from SSI, etc.  All of those will run fine on an A2000.

Mechforce I never got to sit down and try out... My friend many many years ago said he enjoyed the game... I even still have the original Mechforce disk he bought with his Amiga some 18+ years ago?? I will have to dig it out and scan the disk.
