Best amiga shooter ever. Nomination
« on: January 11, 2012, 12:57:17 AM »
alright so here's the deal: Throw in nominations for good amiga shoot em ups. In this case, we're counting games in the vein of project X and SWIV. So horizontally or vertically scrolling "spaceship" type of games (even if the character is not a spaceship, ala wings of death).

Maze or platform shooters (alien breed, turrican) don't qualify here.

Basically, nominate any amiga titles that you enjoyed playing, and which qualify. Once we have a decent list we'll do a vote, and eliminate games until we're down to the best :)

edit:
To kick things off -

Banshee
SWIV
Project X
Agony
Apidya
Disposable Heroes
R type

however the most popular shooter must be battle squadron or deluxe galaga

Does "Better Dead Than Alien" count?

Seeing that after 20+ years I keep coming back to it, it must be good for some reason...

It's a shooter, it should count. It's also a very cool game.

I would add Chaos Engine and the entire Alien Breed series to the list too.

It's a shame there never was a FPS for the Amiga. For what the Amiga did  have, how 'bout Chaos Engine or Alien Bash II?
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

Hybris comes first for me, as it is the one that made me buy an A500 !

the only thing I missed is a 2-player mode, which was added in BattleSquadron, which is second in my list...

than comes Project-X as 3rd

Alien Breed 3D? Gloom? Breathless?

They'd be outside the topic though.
