It also says not to include FPSes

(but don't delete them, strike them like you did for SF2, some people might be interested to know all games which are playable with a keyboard)

Good call. Yes I find playing Civ much faster and more precise with the keyboard.

Thank you all for the great suggestions.
I am aware of Pinball Fantasies and Worms, two of my favourites. I also enjoy pushover. But wanted more, thats why I made this topic.

I have made a list of all the others and will give them a try. Some I am really looking forward to!

JOTD I used to play SWOS on winaue....that put me off for life!

If you have the opportunity, update your first post, so that other EAB members have such a list easily accessible.

haha

Good idea, I have done this. I didnt bother putting the FPS's mentioned or RPG because I think its impossible to find one of these that you CAN'T control with a keyboard?

I agree: playing on WinUAE isn't even close to playing on real HW.

Nitro.

I'm pretty sure Super Skidmarks has an option for keyboard control.

Micro Machines, Indy Heat and The Lost Vikings. Second one you need to use the keyboard so much while using the Joystick that's easier to just use only the Keyboard.

Ninja Warriors also can be played with the keyboard, but except for the amazing soundtrack, I don't find the game to be that good (great port though, I just don't like even the arcade original that much).

Gordon · 31 July 2019, 21:52

Thank you! Lost vikings in particular looks my sort of game.

i put many hours into F1GP on keyboard until i bought a Zipstick

Brilliant game, very recommended. The sequel is awesome too, though it wasn't released on Amiga.

I feel so jealous that you get to experience Lost Vikings for the first time.

Anyone know of any platform or adventure games that have keyboard control with the cursor (arrow)keys? Thanks
