Hey Peeps! what are the best Amiga shooters?

Jesus, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Super Stardust AGA. It is THE shootem up to play, even today there is no finer playing looking or sounding shootem up. Hell the AGA disk version plays and sounds better than the PS3 version.

That game is soo good that to play it as smoothly on joystick you need a PCI graphics card, 16bit Soundblaster and Pentium 133-150mhz PC (120mhz for keyboard only play, don't ask me why PCs were pathetic like that in 1990s!)

-1 for Flying Shark and Xenon II (both had the sh1t Atari ST 16 colour graphics shoved across with NO improvement at all)

DELUXE GALAGA AGA :afro:

Insectoids from Acid Software (Blitz Basic demo game) is just as nice, I even prefer it myself

Also Project Buzzbar is fun for a while, pretty smooth too (It's like Time Pilot 84/II)

Just a shame it sucked on the Mega Drive.

Sucked compared to the likes of Thunderforce III anyway even if it was like the 'Amiga' version with it's crappy ST 16 colour graphics :roflmao:

The ST version of Black Hornet is nice smooth scroll so even the Amiga version must be good.

You might also like Datastorm then.

Mega Typhoon, AFAIK the only game on Amiga using 50Hz sprites:

I tried to run this in just about every combination of OCS/ECS 512kb to 2mb 512kb chip to 1mb chip KS1.3 and KS2.0

Guess what? Neither of the two ADFs in the Tosec work, even the trainer doesn't appear on screen on one version
