Any classic games that you wish were released for Amiga?


All Amiga games were classics... :)

However... If I really had to choose I'd say "Wacky Waiters" & "Shoplifter" from the Vic 20 should be done, now they were real classics... :lol:

Fallout 3. If only because the ability to run it would necessitate that we had machines on par with modern PC's at a hardware level and a software market big enough to warrant a port.

That and the fact it was a damn fine game.

First Encounters (Frontier 2, Elite 3).

Waited ages on that, and they kept saying it would come to the Amiga.  I remember Amiga Power got fed up of waiting and just reviewed the PC version.  One of my mates had the PC version and I was so jealous, even a Mac version I could have played on Shapeshifter would have done me :(

strange that no one here have heard about this great game... it was one of the best games released in 1997. it still have a strong following even today..

if you have the pc version you can grab some nice free updates for the game here..

if you dont have it just google 'theme hospital' and you will find a download link easy. the game is freeware/abandonware now days...

Portal in 2d for Amiga 68k

Sideview plattformer with normal gravity.

You control an avatar, not first person view.

Aiming could perhaps be done with a version of  the turricane lasso.

Hold button rotates arm. Release shoots off a bolt. Another click places the portal on the wall.

A jump into one of the portals carries with it the speed and arc when exiting the other portal.

Difficult logic in puzzles to advance and precision jumping. (but not to difficult). :-)

I think 2d Portal could be very fun and addictive.

It would be great if it was made in way so that levels could be added in an easy way so there was no end to the challenge.

There's an ASCII 2D Portal game that's similar to what you have described, despite the graphics it's well made. There's a port for OS4, since it requires ncurses which is available for OS 3.x it might be possible to port it to 68k systems as well:

I would have loved Settlers 2 on the Amiga... or Alien Nations. Unfortunately Foundation was the last game in that genre on the Amiga :-/

but they were busy with the MSX, PC-98, and X68000
 
us round eyes missed out on some games that are better than FF even

We may not have the original, but there are some good Bejeweled clones for Amiga. I'm not sure what has happened to AmiJeweled, but here is Change It, which is a free game available for Amiga OS3, OS4, Aros and MorphOS.



You can download the game and a whole bunch of different themes for it here: http://changeit.ppa.pl/main_gb.html

I absolutely loved Final Fantasy 3 AND ChronoTrigger on SNES. Would have been all over that on the Amiga had they been released.

BTW: what would you all say were some of the Amiga's better Final Fantasy-like RPG's? (ie: easy to get into, characters walking around a 2D map, great fighting scenes and excellent music score)

I know it wasnt addressed to me, but there's very few of that style RPG on the amiga unfortunately. For my tastes Speris Legacy is probably one of the better ones (albiet somewhat generic and massively Zelda inspired). Legends was fairly well received too, although Ive not played it. Apart from that there's also Dragonstone, but that's a little different and somewhat more Western. Theyre the only 3 worth mentioning that I can think of apart from Amiga Zelda, which is only worth the effort for sheer novelty value (it's a homebrew version (and no, I dont mean the SDL based remakes (Of which I ported all 3)).

As for ascii portal, it exists for all Amiga OS flavors I believe. There's definately an AROS version and a 68k version at least and I'd assume it's also available for MOS.


Now as for the original question I'd have loved a decent version of SF2 for myself, but more than anything Id have liked an Amiga version of Command And Conquer. Not that I'm even really a fan, but it was one of the games that put the lid in the coffin for Amiga where I live. Many friends finally gave up on the miggy largely on the back of that.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

There would have been some kickass J-RPGs for the Amiga.  The graphics capabilities would've allowed for some sweet, depthy, parallaxy scenes for sure...
 
oh, if only..... :(

@ save2600: visually, the overworld sections of Amberstar and Ambermoon are similar (and maybe better done IMO), they also have kickass battle system, but not easy to get into more like hardcore RPGs...
