Amiga games you like more than they deserve?

Oh come now, it deserves love for the sound track alone. I played that through two grands worth of stereo and it was AWESOME! Now you've gone and reminded me about it I'm gonna have to play it again.

I remember many years ago Radio 1 announced that it would be transmitting the Xenon 2 theme tune as an experiment in "pseudo surround sound" one Saturday night...

Me and the mates all gathered in my bedroom with the hi fi tuned to Radio 1 and the speakers placed at roughly six feet either side as instructed, then the music started and gawd were we disappointed, two people reckon they heard the occasional bit of base that sounded like it came from behind them while the other four of us never heard a thing...

Suffice to say after the DJ was inundated with angry listeners asking if this was a wind up they never played that tune again... :-)

As for the game itself, even though it was pretty naff I still played it quite often, dunno why I did but that's what this thread is about...

PS: Days Of Thunder has to be the worst Amiga game of all time, there is nothing good that can be said about that piece of crap...

Never been a big fan of Amiga games but Typhoon Thomson is one I go back to every now and then just to see if I can actually get anywhere in it, it's one of those games where the controls are awful but you just have to go back to try and get a bit further to see what comes next...

Indy 500, just because it was 4 left hand turns over and over and over again, but, I love that game...

and

F1GP(on my old A500), because the worlds most advanced motorsport in slow-mo is just not F1...

I wasted soooo many hours playing them two alone...

F1GP was the nuts with the patches and an accelerator!

Indy 500 is even better if you simply did a 180 and go round the track backwards, try doing any more than 3 laps like that without a spectacular head on collision...
