Blood Money on C64 have worse graphics (and different music) than on Amiga,but it's still good game. Same with Strider.

DDNI · 14 October 2008, 14:46

Assassin is a favourite of mine.

Retro-Nerd · 14 October 2008, 14:53

BC Kid is an awesome PC Engine port. Pretty cool Amiga platformer.

@Amiga Strider

It's a bad port. Compare it with the PSX, Sharp X68000 or Mega Drive versions.

exists a special NEC SuperGrafx version.

This is indeed only a rumor. They planned a SuperGrafx version, but it was never released. Only an ordinary PC Engine CD port exists.

I guessed that you meant it like that but I couldn't resist anyway.

Ok so I admit I'm a complete noob at this Emu stuff, but I'm not that blonde

Marvin's Marvellous Adventure (AGA)
Quik'n'Silva
Hard'n'Heavy
Crazy Sue
Venus The Flytrap

Edit:
Woody's World
Magic Boy

For a "Puzzle Platformer" with some awesome surrealist graphics, maybe try
Devious Designs

Anubis · 14 October 2008, 18:07

IMHO on amiga 2 best platformers are Superfrog and Lionheart. There are many other ones, but those 2 are the best.

humble worm · 14 October 2008, 18:25

all I have to add to the mentioned above is Magic Pockets

cannot help you with the keys for james pond 3 (best platformer of the world imho) as i play it on cd32

TCD · 14 October 2008, 18:37

Mega Twins is quite fun too

It was one of the 'new' old games I found a while ago

Isn't Mega Twins arcade port from Capcom CPS-1??

I have to try it, as I liked arcade version.

Thanks TCD!

Hi there nzgirl, welcome to the forum!

I'll list some platform games that I love to play heaps. There are so many awesome Amiga games that it's hard to choose the best ones.

Whizz - an isometric platformer that's really fun to play once you've got the hang of the controls)
Nicky Boom 1 & 2 - I love the puzzles in this game
Jimmy's Fantastic Journey - cool hidden bonuses but time limit means you have to be quick
Kid Chaos - smooth, awesome platformer
Globdule - it's a blob that you control around the screen, collecting food to finish the level

john4p · 15 October 2008, 14:17

@Cammy: Are you a registered user in the official Capcom boards (this pic looks familiar

)?

AmigaFriend · 15 October 2008, 14:23

For me New Zealand Story, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands

For my 5 year daughter: Great Giana Sisters. She's completely mad about this game. It's amazing how my 20 year old A500 copes with it's frustrations when she loses.

Cammy · 15 October 2008, 17:36

John4p, yeah I'm registered there too. I have some more pics in my user profile photo album thing.

I see no one mentioned Chuck Rock 2: Son of Chuck. I think it's far better than the original and definitely worth getting!

Graham Humphrey · 15 October 2008, 17:43

Also forgot to mention Wiz 'n' Liz, which is fantastically good fun, especially as a two-player game.
