The Official EAB Top 100 Amiga Games 2012 - Vote
Yeah, I know, Top 100 lists and the like aren't exactly original. But then I thought (during a particularly uneventful long coach trip last Sunday) "hey, EAB doesn't have a list like this, why don't we compile one? I'll write up the results into a proper article, Amiga Power Top 100-style, only voted for by the members here rather than argued over in arbitrary fashion by the staff of a magazine?"
And besides, we all know that people's tastes can change over time. Your favourite games now might not be the ones you'd go for 15-20 years ago. Maybe those you loved when you were younger have aged badly, or perhaps you've discovered a hidden gem you didn't know about for many years. So I thought it would be fun and potentially quite entertaining to do just that. But of course I need your help here. You know how all this voting nonsense works by now but just to cover all the bases: Vote for your own personal top ten games ONLY and in order from 1 to 10. 1st place gets 10 points, 10th gets just the one. No editing your votes please otherwise it will become a nightmare to keep track of it. Any Amiga game counts, whether it's commerical, public domain or whatever. As a bonus, you can optionally also vote for your worst game ever, too. Only one vote per member please and again I'll count these up separately. Voting starts now and will close 23:59 UK time on October 31. No votes after this date will be counted. After this I will compile the results, and write up a nice big article hopefully in time for Christmas to show just what EAB regards as its favourite Amiga games in 2012. So get voting and have fun :) |
1. Turrican 2
2. Moonstone 3. The Secret Of Monkey Island 4. The Chaos Engine 5. Lemmings 6. Speedball 2 7. Defender Of The Crown 8. Cannon Fodder 9. Wings 10. Leander Worst game ever: Carver (yes, it's worse than Top Banana!) |
Also added a bit saying you can vote for PD as well as commercial games - basically any Amiga game. I know it should be obvious but it doesn't hurt to clarify :)

2. Secret of Monkey Island 3. Lemmings 4. Superfrog 5. Leander 6. Pinball Fantasies 7. Cannon Fodder 8. Another World 9. Turrican 2 10.Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 IMO, Top 10 isn't nearly enough for Amiga games :) |
1. Ruff N Tumble
2. Monkey Island 2 3. Frontier: Elite II 4. Zeewolf 2 5. Dune II 6. Turrican 2 7. Speedball 2 8. James Pond 2 - Robocod 9. The Chaos Engine 10. Apidya Honourable mentions: 11. Syndicate, 12.Vroom, 13. Alien Fish Finger. Worst Game: Outrun note: I took a look at Carver as this is supposed to be the worst game ever. Well at least that game is playable. Certainly more playable than Belial, Beverly Hills Cop, or Days of Thunder - but I'll stick with Outrun as that game was only good for the first 10 seconds while the intro music played. |

By the end of the month this thread will be MASSIVE! Good luck working out all those votes Graham. ;)
I'd also be interested in WORST GAMES EVER - so remember folks you can post your top worst game too! |
Don't worry, it's all in hand ;)
We're a little over 24 hours into this and 15 votes have already come in, with 77 different games being voted for. Lots of diverse titles being voted for too which is encouraging. My biggest concern was not getting enough games and not a wide enough spread of genres but those worries look unfounded. Looking forward to doing a nice write-up of this :) |
