My vote goes to: "Osadnicy" alias "Die Siedler" alias "The Settlers"

...because...

I loved the game back then, the game brought me back first into emulating then finally getting an A1200, and i'm still playing it and enjoying right in this very moment

Muzkat · 07 April 2005, 06:24

Definately The Chaos Engine.

TheBoss · 07 April 2005, 09:22

Nothing beats The Settlers in gaming time I've spend on a game... the next closest would probably be Dune 2 which is great too

CFOU! · 07 April 2005, 12:30

It's a good year, and more easy to give better game by type:

Hired Guns
Super Frog/Soccer Kid
Disposable Heroes
Settlers
Dune 2

are all excelent game

CFOU! · 07 April 2005, 12:32

It's a good year, and more easy to give better game by type:

Hired Guns
Super Frog/Soccer Kid/Flashback
Disposable Heroes
Settlers
Dune 2/Syndicate
Simon the sorcerer/Indy 4 adv/Beneath the steel sky
Chaos Engine
et caetera.....

are all excellent games

I can't really choice

Freakyweakywoo · 07 April 2005, 13:39

Frontier: Elite II no real choise, such a top game.

spiff · 07 April 2005, 16:35

Gunship 2000

Best 3d and gameplay combination I had seen to that date..
Hiding behind hills, and terrain that finally made sense. Bossing around your sqadron was even more fun... And the intro mod was pretty cool, setting the mood perfectly.

yeah same here, at least for the huge amount of hours that i wasted on it instead of, say try to save or destroy the world.
but the others two that stand above the mass are for me Perihelion and Wiz&Liz. note also that this two games are really similar, in both is mentioned the use of chemicals to open perception doors or improve stats.

Mr_Modem · 08 April 2005, 13:56

Frontier Elite ][ and Settlers were the best games that year but since I played Settlers more I voted for that one. The PC version of Settlers is better with the nice SVGA resolution.

dwood · 09 April 2005, 10:58

alien breed 2, cannon fodder, the patrician are all excellant. frontier, syndicate, hired guns and chaos engine are amongst the best games ive played. at various times i have played the above games solidly for months.

HOL2001 · 09 April 2005, 11:02

Cannon Fodder !

Graham Humphrey · 09 April 2005, 15:17

I've also gone for Cannon Fodder. A tough choice though - I nearly went for Chaos Engine, or Superfrog, or Blob, or Flashback or... (several hours later) ... or Syndicate, or Soccer Kid, or, er, that's it I think!

Mr_Modem · 09 April 2005, 17:00

When I look at all these games I think for myself: "1993 was a very good year in gaming history, look at all these games!!!".

Miggy2TheMax · 10 April 2005, 05:46

agree wit you mr modem! .. .tough choice but how can you go past RTS dune2 for me!

Shatterhand · 10 April 2005, 18:19

Man.. that's impossible.

How can I choose between Flashback, Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, The Settlers, Desert Strike, James Pond 2, Alien Breed 2, Turrican 3, Qwak, Micro Machines, Arabian Nights, Soccer Kid and Dune 2?

Honestly... how do I choose? All those games gets the highest praise from me all the time... if I could only play those games for the rest of my life, I would still be a happy gamer.

Those are the among the greatest showing of the art that is gaming, and no one can touch the greatness of those titles.

In the end I picked Cannon Fodder, just for the sake of doing it. I always knew 1993 was the best year for gaming. THe Amiga was the pinnacle of gaming for sure...

Mr_Modem · 10 April 2005, 18:55

It's really hard to compare games from so many different categorys. Settlers is my favourite strategy game, Disposable Hero is my favourite shoot em'up...

X-ray · 10 April 2005, 21:45

Very difficult choice between Syndicate and Dune II, but in terms of coming back for more and hours spent, I finally chose Dune II. Proves you don't need amazing graphics to have a brilliant game.

10 April 2005, 21:57

Have to go with Syndicate on this one, although many great games were released in 1993 - probably the Amiga's finest hour before descending into obscurity.
