What Are the Best Five Amiga 500 Games?
What Are the Best Five Amiga 500 Games?
in your opinion. Rules are : 1. Rank in order of greatness where 1 is the best. 2. You can choose 1Mb games but no other enhancements are allowed 3. No more than 5 games. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I'm still thinking of mine, but Player Manager will be involved!) |

No particular order:
Midwinter It Came From The Desert Civilization Pool Of Radiance (or any Goldbox game) Zak McKraken (I don't mention Pirates!, because it's the best game ever on any platform, by default, so there's no need It's tricky, because some of them are ports. If I was to make a list of best Amiga originals, it'd perhaps look a bit different. |

For me,

No,wait, I think it is : BC Kid Slamtilt (Oups AGA) Chuck rock Chuck rock 2 Robocod Okay I give up. Too difficult. I played a lot to all these games and some others. Currently my best is "New Bubble Story". But I am not really objective... |

Difficult. Technically there are certainly better ones (like Lionheart), but I think these are what I played most:

Turrican 2
Cannon Fodder Lotus 2 Stardust Lionheart These games are technically all very good, and also interesting enough to be played for a longer time. |

Seems like a typical thread that already exists, but tastes change so why not repeat it!
My -current- top 5 would be: 1. Valhalla 2 2. Super Cars 2 3. Gods 4. Dynamite Dux* 5. Captive *Coop play specifically, because this game then becomes far more hilarious. Infinitely replayable, nice tunes, good humorous graphics, nice selection of weapons, the only downside is that the bosses are downgraded from the arcade version and really easy to cheese, but on the other hand that made it more kid friendly. |

Alien Breed
Dark Seed Pinball Dreams Nighthawk F-117A Stealth Fighter Worms I'm going with Amiga originals across genres in this case. |

Definitely good picks, I never got to play them so they're not on my list. On the Amiga that is, when I played Worms I had already defected.
