Frontier: Elite II

[Panthro]

if I had to pick just one game???

it would be AB3D

I liked AB3D-II but it just wasnt as playable :-?

Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back ...forever!!!

I can't narrow it down any further than:

Alien Breed (all of them ;-) )
Breathless
Cannon Fodder
Syndicate
Moonstone
Another World
Flashback
Shadow of the Beast (bloody difficult, but I still like it)
UFO: Enemy Unknown

Probably a few others, but they're what I play the most (except Another World and Moonstone as mine are buggered).

Well, I'd have to say my ultimate favorite, has to be TurboRaketti II. Obscure shareware two-player duel with Asteroids' style control and multiple weapons, in a big scrolling maze of obstacles. I don't know what it is, but when you learn to pilot those little triangles among the rocks at top speed, deliver a bomb to your enemy, and escape, you're addicted Look for it online. PAL only, I think. (TurbokRaketti I and GravAttack are interesting and similar, but just not the same.)

Runner-up: the original Lemmings in 2-player mode with 2 mice. An Amiga-only adventure in pure aggravation. I challenge any friendship to withstand a night of 2-mouse Lemmings.

I also enjoyed StarGlider 2 (the original "Descent"?), MindWalker, Shadow of the Beast, It Came From the Desert, Obliterator, Stunt Car Racer, and Sinbad.

And there's a ellipse-shaped PAL shareware game I really liked--great graphical style, shooting in from the rim towards little blobs that grew and grew. I think it was called Microbe or something similar.

And for some odd reason, I really liked New Stubb City, made with VR Construction Kit. I guess I was a sucker for any kind of 3D.

Special mention must be made of Space Spuds. My X-Specs 3D still work

I do remember Sensible Soccer, though--the only sports game I've ever gotten into I think!

What am I thinking? It has been too long.

I forgot about Marble Madness, Archon, and Archon II: Adept. All favorites. I played many, many hours of Archon 2-player. A classic.

I also liked Tower Toppler (which has a nice modern shareware remake, nearly identical, available for Mac: "Toppler"--it's at MacGameFiles.com). I think that game would make me crazy now, though.

And some game... Blastaball maybe? With a choice of ships shooting BBs at a big ball in soccer-like scrolling arena.

I reckon Chaos Engine-AGA 1200 version is pretty dam good,also Total Carnage+Cannon Fodder. 8-)

After all these years, the only Amiga game that I fiarly regularly play (and in fact I have the Amiga version on my PDA) is Dungeon Master.  There's something fiendishly addictive about the game.  It's not nostalgia either, I think that it's a very playable game, full of strategy and tension.  

Life decision?  I sold my C64 and entire collection of games for the half-meg upgrade to play DM in 1989.  Looking back though, I wish I hadn't!
