Yeah there were some impressive games late i8n the miggys life.Onescapee is very good but a hardrive is needed as there was a bug in some copies(mine) that never gave you the save codes.Capital punishement is another game from this period it's like mortal kombat and streetfighter.Peter spinazes Theseus and the Minotaur was a quality game too.Alien f1 was a good formula one game.Genetic species is a fps game though the 3d is fake in it.vulcan software released quite a few games at the time.T-zero is an r-type style game by clickboom.Dafel bloodlines is one game that is finished but unreleased sadly.Recently I believe there is a side scrolling shoot em up ala contra etc that was released.I think it's available at software hut.Sorry to hear about the heart attack but it sounds like your doing better now.Amigas are known for their curative prowess.LOL

Lemon Amiga is the best place to look for games

You can search by the year they were released so it is easier to find titles that came our later.

I always wanted to try virual karting for some reason.

hope you can find that ppc/060 that you are apparently after, coz there are quite some great games released for ppc+bvision. big names, too. descent:freespace, quake 2, shogo and wipeout 2097 spring to mind. as for AGA, check out Fighting Spirit, Exodus, Foundation and Myst.

Descent Freespace works on 68k + AGA as well. No need for ppc and/or rtg. Runs surprisingly well on 040+ aga upwards too.
Wild Flying is terrible though :) Looks ok for an amiga game of that time, but peeing into a powerpoint is more fun :)
Virtua Karting is qute nice though. Alien F1 (Ive forgotten what its called these days) is pretty good too. Nice graphics, and quite playable.
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.

I never knew that. I cant imagine its playable. even after the first few missions, when you get to shoot the meteor field, the game started to slow down even on my system.

off-topic, but couldnt resist :)

dont forget extreme racing. that game is a really nice mario kart clone.

actually  i liked  wildflying  ..though i just let it run  like a screensaver ..if it had had a bit of  work  done to it  might have  been pretty  good..bit  like  microcosm  ...never  tried  descent  freespace  ....only  doom  an  ran  doom2 off the  cdrom  original  i got  ...havent  got  any  wads  for  quake  
so  havent  tried  it  yet ..always  wondered  if  forsaken wouldve  been possible  ..given that  my  030  can  run  heretic  ..an  does  a good effort  for  hexen  .

got  myst  on a couple  cds  ..havent  tried  it  ..dont  think my  030  would  be up to it ...actually  got  a 040/ppc  an a apollo 040  ..both  which  sat in a box  an then  when  i went to use them again  after a year  or  so  refused  to work ..though on the ppc board  the 040 gets  hot  but  i get no booting  just nuthin  ..same  as the apollo  040 fan goes  on  but  nuthin ..could  be ram  as i have  swapped  ram  to other accelerators  ...but  have  tried  the many  various  ram sticks  i have  to no avail  ..my  030 has  a 64meg  an a 32 meg in the scsi  ....was  amazed  that worked  thought had to be same  ..no game  ever uses  100  meg  ram  so havent  changed it ..be  quite  happy  to just  get a ppc/040/060 in good  condition  so i could run  ppc  an  68k  software an games ..but i think the chances  are slim  now..

too bad about your ppc. could be something simple, like a MAPROM jumper being set?
myst runs fine on 030.

Looking at screenshots of Myst may be a little misleading. The graphics are prerendered. Quake is pretty much unplayable on '030, even with a small window and all the optimisation patches applied (which remove graphics effects, etc. so you end up with a much less attractive game) you get about 3 or 4 frames a second according to a friend. And that's assuming you have an fpu (doesnt run without one). Ive not tried it on anything less than an '040, and even that was unplayalbe for my tastes.
Tales Of Heaven is another you might want to check out if youre looking for interesting amiga games released towards the end of its commercial life. Not the greatest game, but does have a certain charm. Trapped2 is okay-ish as well, and in my opinion is more playable on an '030 or '040 than an '060. Hard to articulate exactly, but it just "feels" wrong when its completely smooth. It's like it was developed on a more modest amiga and the timing and whatnot doesnt work as well when run on something faster. Not saying that is the case, but play it on an '030 or '040 and then on Winuae/amithlon/os4/mos/etc. and I find it more playable on the slower hardware, despite not being as smooth. Im sure some people will disagree, but to each his own as they say :)
