The first Amiga game I remember seeing was First Samurai on the A500. There was a demo machine in Tandy (Radioshack) and the sound samples and graphics were really impressive. This was around the time of Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis.

As for isometric, I remember playing Syndicate for the first time and was quite literally horrified after setting off a gauss gun in a crowded street! Not exactly a smoothe transition from cuddly woodland animal platformers...

I found Speedball and Chaos Engine jerky too. Zool 2 was so ghastly I took it back, but the Atari Jaguar one was as smoothe as The Fonz!

It bugged me how early Amiga programmers couldn't manage music + sound (chose one or the other!?). I know the Amiga only had 4 channels to play with unlike the Megadrive's 10 but still. It's been done!

As far as platformers go though, Zool 1 was pretty good but Kid Chaos was super smoothe. As smoothe as Sonic!

That Robots game reminds me of something I tried on Speculator a while back.

:-D

EDIT - as smoothe as Sonic's screen scrolling...   ;-)
