What Amiga-conversions did you miss the most?

29 January 2006, 14:18

I remember being so jealous on PC-owners of all the great games that appeared on their computers after 92-93, but never arrived on Amiga, not even on A1200. What old classic PC-titles did you miss the most on the Amiga and made you finally switch to PC and which of the mentioned games would have been possible to do an Amiga-conversion of if the really wanted?

For me Day of the tentacle and sam and max was sad

But Myst got released

Abit later on though..(also doom and wolf3d,quake)

DOTT for me too, but you can play it now with ScummVM. I wouldnt want to see any work done on porting them today. Most (All?) amiga owners have a PC today.

Wish there had been an Amiga (PPC) port of Curse Of Monkey Island

Many of them can be played on the Amiga today... mainly of ClickBoom or something... got doom, panzer general and stuff on my amiga.

Nothing of thoose.
There are too many real AMIGA games that never saw the light of day.

I'd say wacky wheels and micro machines II. But they are not listed.

Who wants a pc or a pc game if you have a Amiga?

I think Myst was the first PC game that gripped me. Not that it couldn't have been done on Amiga, but the beautiful (at the time!) rendered graphics would have looked a bit worse and loaded a lot slower. I always envied those guys at Cyan who did a perfectly playable game from "just" an idea and a pretty crappy picture-flipping interface. It shows what you can achieve with a solid game plan.

Got to be Command and Conquer, annoyed the hell out of me having to buy a console to play it, but saying that it started off my Sega Saturn obsession
