I love and hate these lists at the same time. Some odd choices by people who have never played the Settlers, obviously ;-)
In order, The Settlers Sensi Ruff 'n' Tumble Populous Robocod Although, in fairness, I played these all on a 1200 but its the same experience on a 500, right? |

For the 3 others it is probably the same thing. Now that I think back, populous must be one of the games I've played the most on the Amiga. If my memories are good there are a few things like several hundred levels and If I remember well, I went to the end. Really great this game. |

Too late for polls but worth an honourable mention for Indianapolis 500. I always seem t go back to it and it's only got one track!!

Well I didn't play it on the Amiga so I couldn't allow myself to pick it. And even then... the Settlers 2 is what made the formula juuuuust right for me.

The reason I didn't pick Kick Off 2 was because I had Player Manager in my list . But in my opinion it's a much better game than the original Sensible Soccer (never played SWOS). Much more learning and skill needed to play Kick Off. With Sensi I found I could score from the same point miles out almost every time with one of those hard curling shots (where you pull back on joystick to one side). Both good games tho! Rock n Roll - you win the award for most unique list! |

I remember Manchester United Europe having a similar problem. Just walk straight at the goal just above or below the edge of it, shoot and it would be a 100% guaranteed goal. Kind of made the game irrelevant. Perhaps I had an early release version of the game, I just can't imagine that such a game breaking flaw was left in a footie game.

Agree - dont get me wrong Sensi is a great game and I understand the love for it, but I would always go for KO2
Although both on the same format it provoked arguments not seen since the ZX v C64 days! |

These five don't usually make it into the list but are nonetheless really good.

Paradroid 90 is an awesome game. Couldn't get it to work on my A1200 back in the day, so I had to use my A500.

too bad
still my fave game on Amiga, the beginning of all the fun i have completed it a lot of times, much more than his sequel; both milestones, but the first one... better part of the game imo, as level+soundtrack combo, level 7 in this longplay : [ Show youtube player ] Last edited by kremiso; 27 January 2021 at 11:07. |

Yes a great game. Until recently I couldn't get past the first level and I had to watch a play through. Really good. I disable to time limit though as I like to hang around and make sure I shoot everything and blow it up!
Battle command looks pretty good as well!! |

A hint for Fireforce is that if you pull down as you fall, you can pass through some platforms. This is the only way to get past a wall in one of the later levels (Mission Group Zulu Mission 3: Designate girder bridge).
