Classic Games

Can anyone suggest some games to me. I had an Amiga and ST years ago when everyone had them, only recently discovered emulation. I think some of the games which I've been playing recently for the Amiga are much better than there modern counterparts.

I have now just under ten titles, titles which I have rembered from the past. I am just starting to get a little lost as to what to get next, can anyone recommend some titles to me.

I like shoot em ups
Platform Games
Pinball etc

By the way whats the "Beast" that everyone keeps talking about?

I don't know what everyone else thinks but I think that Rainbow Islands & Pinball Fanatsies are brilliant and even hold there own against modern PC games in terms of playability and adictivness.

Already got
Xenon 1&2
Blood Money
RType
Chaos Engine

New Zealand Story
Pinballl Fantasies + Illusions

I'd suggest looking for Alien breed (all of them up to 3D) which are a good bit like Chaos engine in the fact that you have an overhead view and plenty of enemies to shoot.

I recommend GODS, a platform/puzzle game. It has great graphics, great puzzles and a perfect difficulty level.

That would be "Shadow of the Beast" from Psygnosis, a pretty good game with great gfx. If you haven't played it I suggest you give it a go.

Some other suggestions:

Shoot 'em up:
Battle Squadron
Project X

Platform:
Magic Pockets
Arabian Nights
Superfrog

OMG...I've heard it all. An Amiga user who doesn't know the Beast series!!!

Ow come on, maybe he didn't linked the name "Beast" to "Shadow of the Beast"

For shoot'em ups, go for Apidya, Uridium 2 and Battle Squadron. Those , IMO, are the best of the genre.

The Amiga is full of great platform games, here goes a few you could try:

Ruff 'n'Tumble
Soccer Kid
Arabian Nights
James Pond 2
Benefactor

Other games you HAVE to get, imo:

Sensible World of Soccer, Brutal Sports Football, All Terrain Race, Cannon Fodder, Alien Breed 2 and Alien Breed Tower Assault, The Chaos Engine..

Hmm.. it's 5:30 am now, I can't think very clearly

I'tl try to remember a few more later.

Try Turrican I, II, III, Jim Power, Batman the Movie and if you like RPGs Amberstar and Dungeon Master

Frog · 24 June 2002, 21:03

some nice 2 players games (great alone too) :

SuperCars 1 & 2
Speedball 1 & 2
Lotus 1, 2 & 3
Vroom
Masterblaster
Golden Axe
Pang or Ooops Up
Minskies, Twintris, Tritus
Nitro, Overdrive or ATR

Shatterhand · 25 June 2002, 05:21

Turrican trilogy and Jim Power , 2 games you can't miss too.

If I had to choose between Pang and Ooops Up, I would go for Pang anytime.

And for 2 players action, Micro Machines is better than Nitro or ATR. Overdive can only be played with 2 linked machines.

i suggest wiz'n'liz, myth and globdule.
