Hey Peeps! what are the best Amiga shooters?
« on: November 11, 2011, 04:06:13 AM »
Hey, well, nothing more than the title suggests, what are the best, or favorite Amiga Shoot 'em Up games? OK, to start, I'll say I LOVE Banshee AGA... even if I have to cheat to get beyond even the 2nd level!!!! Ilyad, and Tubular Worlds AGA get high votes from me, as well.

OK, I randomly Googled 'Amiga shoot 'em ups' and found lots of games I never heard of... so , please, peeps, lemme hear of the best Amiga shoot 'em ups!!

Ummm, and can someone point me to a copy of T-Zero???? Please? SOMEone??? I ran the demo from an Amiga Format CD.... but... man... REALLY... ya wanna know what's messed up about the Amiga nowadays? .... I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR A GAME, YET CAN'T BUY IT!!!

..man, history repeats itself.... I had to order Theatre of Death from Psygnosis directly, as all US dealers,  and even a UK dealer i talked to, told me... 'not available'.......

Hey everyone, thanks for the input!

As for Alien Breed: Tower Assult, well, it's a shooter I guess, not a shoot 'em up in the strictest sense of the word.... but still a great game!

Just realized, I have SWIV, but not Silkworm, Ack!

Thanks for all the idea's everyone!
Well, Phobia and Black Hornet are on my list now... I haven't played it, but the graphics of Black Hornet look pretty awesome!

Funny thing is, I ended up getting a full tricked-out Sega Genesis/32X/CD system, just to play oddball Japanese shoot 'em up games, only to find some GREAT ones on the Amiga....

Oh, no one mentioned Apidya???
For shame! :roflmao:

Hey great suggestions everyone!

I just got Phobia, and am enjoying it much!

ANd I have been playing Cybernetix for a Loong time... tho, I had to wait for a WHDLoad slave to play it reliably on my '060 A1200, lol
