I was asking for AMIGA software, so no microsoft cr*p please! :lol:

- WorkBench! Better OS anyone anymore can make!

- MCP! Better system hack ever, and still in development;

- Dopus 4.1x , better file manager, among other things. Sorry for Magellan users, I love the old one;

- Total Chaos!:-D Better strategy/RPG/board game for the afterhours;

- OctaMED SoundStudio, better sound editor/creator;

- FBlit...

- TSGui : the BETTER ADF/DMS-utility ever!

- YAM do I need to talk about the BEST mailer ever?

-------------------------------------------------------
That's the list of the best programs not developed anymore, but still essencial:

- Magic Menu II;

- Cloanto's PPaint;

- Miami;

- ToolsPrefs;

- Tiny Meter (is still in development? I think not).


That's my "small" list of preferencial programs.

Oops! I forgot MUI...

[rdolores]

1. Deluxe Music Construcion Set
2. ProWrite
3. PageStream
4. NComm

One shipped with the OS for a while, and the name escapes for the moment. It was an interactive design program that remains not only unequaled but completely unchallanged for flexibility, ease of use, and a GUI that was shear genius. But for the death of Commodore it might well have become the standard for educators.

"Amiga Vision"

Looked promising, kept crushing on my A500 though...

Storm C...

then games.. lol


btw, I love playing SuperCars II... I wish they had more tracks though or a track editor.

So many great Amiga Paint and graphics applications, it's hard to choose a favorite. Top contenders are:

      Photon Paint--Old and cranky but I did some great stuff with it.
      Digi View and DigiPaint--my first digital camera.
      Photogenics--painting effects just rocks
      ImageFx--solid and reliable and comprehensive.
      Deluxe Paint--of course
      TV Paint--the high end luxury Amiga paint program
      And of course Newteks Video Toaster suite--Probably my number 1 but it's a world unto itself and I might need to reflect on this a little.

      Amiga OS 2.0 and above--an OS that works and doesn't waste my time and energy with useless gadgets and gizmos and only requires a few megabytes of disk space.Bill Gates could have learned from this example if he hadn't been so rich and arrogant.

Definitely without s single Doubt:

1.   SCALA MM300 (or 400 or InfoChannel)
2.   Brilliance 2.0
3.   Digital Sound Studio 8+ 2.0 software
4.   DiskMaster 2 (why do people use DOpus?)
5.   Elan Performer (Display VJ dance visuals at Clubs)
6.   MindEYE  (Sound to Light device for Clubs)
7.  


Despite my opinion..........SCALA MM400 IS the best application for Amiga.   I also see alot of people saying Deluxe Paint.........I believe it's because they left the Amiga scene before Brilliance was released or they just never used it............because quite simply.........Deluxe paint Looks like CACA compared to Brilliance 2.0. Many don't know this...but Brilliance knocked DPaint off the top and became the new DPaint replacement.  I use it today alot and love its ease of use and power.

1.Dopus4.x - Without this piece of software i would have quit using Amigas years before i did! (Magellan wasent for me).

2. ABBS - The first BBS system i used! mostly used in Norway! was acctualy a clone of a PC system called MBBS.

3. Tempest - Another BBS system i ran for years and years! loved the easy set up it had compared to its competitors (/X,S!X and Daydream).

4. CygnusED - Simpy the best text editor i have ever used on any platform.

5. Ncomm - The money i spent using this one to dialup BBSes... man i could probably buy a car :-).

Thats my Top 5 at least but i do remember a lot more.

THAT's the ticket!  It wasn't just promising, it might have changed the world...

I did a trade show kiosk for UNOCAL Chemicals in 1990 with it on an expanded A500 with HD and memory.  Set it up to copy OS and the program to RAD on start up.  If anything went south (which I don't think it ever did), they sales guys could do a warm boot and all was good in a few seconds.  It had several DPaint anims, pix, text screens.  Well ahead of its time...  Weren't we all!

I love to have a tool that good now.

Miami was the software that changed my life on Amiga!  After trying to reconfigurate my AmiTCP for 2 weeks I heard of Miami  and ordered myself a keyfile right away.  2 mins later I was on the net! yay!

Then I could use my other favorite software: YAM!

  :-D

[AmigaNow]

As for games, I really enjoyed Blood Money, Battle Chess, and a Cinemaware game called Rocket Ranger?

For programming, AssemPro and public domain C (Dice?)

I used JrComm extensively to access local BBS's, before the internet...  :-D

For animation I used The Director and DigiPaint.

BTW, has anyone heard of MacroPaint?

PPaint

Imagine 3D
Photogenics

[amigean]

Well let's see

I spent a lot of time with:

Deluxe Paint IV - and later PPaint too - made countless anims
SCALA 500 and later SCALA MM400 - fantastic piece of software
Wordworth 4 - got me half-way through university
Hippoplayer, Octamed & countless other mod players, trackers, sampling apps etc
Term and later AmIRC, YAM and Voyager (I wish an updated version of Voyager came out - it was so snappy).
AmigaBasic and later Amos Basic (made a few ugly looking games, fortunately for the world never managed to release them)
Demo Maniac - a WYSIWYG demo making app - pretty cool stuff, was out circa '95 - wish I could find it...
+ a myriad other apps I now surely forget...

Wish I had spent more time with (my hardware couldn't keep up for the most part):
Real 3D, Brilliance, Cinema 4D, Vista Pro

Games:
Civilization, Colonization
K240
Shadow of the Beast III
New Zealand Story (such a silly game - so much fun!)



Oh the 90s were great...  :roll:
