Top 10 Amiga FPS Games but...

kad3t · 24 May 2022, 21:58

...but only those that did not require PowerPC CPUs, RTG graphic cards and released before 1997 when a whole sea of PC ports started appearing on Commodore's system.

As usual, it's my Top 10 best, but if you disagree, let me know why and let's discuss it. If you liked it though, give me a shout too.

Enjoy!

Well at least you manage to create a top 10, I don't actually like any of them. So mine is a top 0.

nice top 10, i like all this games and i played all and almost finished all a part Cidatel, very difficult and Testament. I don't remember Fear, but it was my first game that i tried when i bought A1200

In all fairness, you don't need to like something to rate it.

Fears does something really weird to my head. I can't put it in words but the zig-zaginess of the pixels just annoys me beyond belief. And I don't know why cause it really shouldn't. They're just not square... That's all.

F.E.A.R. was something else on the PS3! Very creepy!

... Fears was rubbish compared to Alien Breed 3D!

Indeed but we're not defining bottom 10's here

Death Mask is like playing Dungeon Master with guns. Not sure I'd even call it an FPS... although that's technically what it is

utri007 · 25 May 2022, 20:34

I have played Nemac IV quite lot. Nice simple game.

One of the best Ultima Underworld clone Trapped. http://hol.abime.net/1499

It's blasphemy making Alien Breed 3D before Gloom.
But cool video bro

Also, I think you were too hard on DeathMask.
It was great alternative for A500 users back in the day, that want a taste of something similar. The game have it's limits, but it managed to be very playful and fun.
I wish more Wolf/Doom clone followed the same concept of gameplay (speedy and nice), even if they did it just on flat shaded walls.

Gloom is an arcade shooting gallery wheras Alien Breed 3D is an atmospheric survival horror in comparison. They are different and I prefer atmospheric games with good level design so I prefer AB3D hands down.

Mixel · 25 May 2022, 22:38

Great video!

I agreed until the last two where if it was my list I’d just swap them around. AB3D has some really incredible level design and atmosphere (CD32 version has a great soundtrack too) gloom just got a bit samey and boring and never felt like you were in “a place” just a weird monster maze, to me..

FEARS has the worst enemy ai/behaviour ever, totally breaks the game.

Edit: lol, snap!

Have you seen my pinball list?
Some of those bottom 10 titles could very well be best games in the worst 10 list.

This actually looks very cool. I gotta hunt it down. Thanks!

I gotta admit, way before I've seen any other title on the list, I've spent countless hours playing Death Mask in 2-player VS mode on my friends A600.

That said, today, years after, I stand by my judgement.

And it's all fair. Cause after all everyone's a little different and has different likes and dislikes. I loved Gloom for the hectic action and pure fun.

Thank you! It wasn't easy deciding between the two but in the end, at least for me, fast and frantic action won.

And Fears... Oh my days... Why oh why didn't they use square pixels? When I look at it in motion, I feel as if I had few drinks already.

Agreed!

Was mentioned in video as a 90 degree turn based game.

It also has strafing but diagonal strafing.

Still an enjoyable game to play.
