I think for a list like this you need to look at Amiga exclusive titles as many games like Monkey Island, Frontier, Dune 2 while absolute classics and on the Amiga are mere ports of their MS-DOS originals

But there remain several Amiga games that I'd still put into say a top 10 of any given genre.

Roadkill - one of my favorite arcade top down racing games.
Guardian - my absolute favorite open world 3d shooter.
Worms - perhaps the king of its genre.
Minskies - This is one of the best tetris / columns clones I've ever played. Its ridiculously addictive.
Fightin Spirit - Yes I'd put this into my top 10 beat em up games of all time. It would probably be at number 10 but its by far the best on our Amigas.
Ruff n Tumble - one of the most beautiful run n gun games ever.

That's all I can think of for now. I suppose out of those the only genre defining game is Worms. It almost created its own genre!

quick edit: after reading some of the posts above how could I forget about Cannon Fodder and Chaos Engine!
