Ironically the other game I'm playing at the moment is Ultima VII - but that's the PC version using my bridgeboard, so it doesn't count. Boo. :)

Magic Pockets can be frustrating (and NO save-option!) but it always makes me come back for another try.

From top of my head:

James Pond 1
Jamed Pond 2 (Robocod)
Fire & Ice
Leander
Prohpecy I: The Viking Child

The last one is a Wonderboy clone, if you will. If only the "physics" of the characters consisted of better than pure linear movements. Despite that, I played it untill finished. The atmosphere generated by the music and cute graphics hooked me in other words.
I have spoken !

You should probably check out the Lemon Amiga top 100 games, that has the main games you should own listed.
Some games I've enjoyed which you might not have played include:

Shooters-Apano Sin, Fly Harder, Uridium 2, Virocop
Platformers-Woody's World, Lollypop, Naughty Ones, Snow Bros
Strategy-Historyline, Lords of the Rising Sun, Sabre Team
Puzzle-Jumping Jack'son, Logical, Skweek
Adventure-Kult, The Clue, DreamWeb

There are also some good PD games like Salmon-Pink Max, Egyptian Run and Super Obliteration.

A PD game that's absolutely worth playing, doubly so in two player: Transplant. Just make sure you have autofire :)


I've done a couple reviews of games on my blog

Lastly, XCOM is the best game ever written. Seriously.
