As an action fan I tried every commercial Amiga game, here are my 303 keepers
After 6 months I've finally tried every commercial Amiga game made and also some PD ones. As an action fan I really think the Amiga has a great catalogue. I made the list from the perspective of an action fan but there are some puzzle and adventure games included that I enjoyed. These are the 303 games I would return to and it includes games all the way up until 2023. I'm now starting my journey through the entire Mega Drive catalogue.

Is there a way to change the title of the post, I meant to say every and not ever. I tried to edit but it just changed the title in the post itself and not in the main list? There was also no option I could see to delete so that I could re-post. Thanks.

This is part where you talk about taste and / or preference. Glad you found games you would return to, but that is very subjective...

I think it was at least close to 3000. I'm sure I missed some. The compilations I used would sometimes have corrupt files. If I couldn't find a working one somewhere else I would at least watch a Youtube video of the game. It was a lot of fun to go through, I'm kind of sad now that it's over.

Yes, it is subjective and everyone's list would be different but I think there are a lot of objectively good games in there. I also have an expanded list that has more games that I personally liked but this one I let general consensus factor into it slightly. For example just before I posted it I removed Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Action Game that I liked as a kid and Tusker which I like the graphics of. I prefer a game with good graphics, anything that looked too 8-bit would have to play super well to make either list.

You sure have some bangers there in that list! Can I ask if you tried Wayne Gretzky Hockey?

I did try both 1 and 2 and didn't really like them outside of the cool intro animation. I must say I might be bias because I was always a Mario Lemieux fan so it was always 66 over 99 for me!

Great list, lots I love there and a few I haven't checked out. Surprised you've left out Lotus 1, to me it plays better than the other two. Any reason why R-Type 2 didn't appeal? I take it you're not keen on American Football, from the lack of Madden or TV Sports Football?

Aquanaut - which one? The one with the scuba diver, or the submarine one (Cybernoid style)?
I am also surprised, you liked Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and Snow Bros, but there is Parasol Stars missing in your choice. |

Aquanaut was the submarine one by F1 Licenceware. Yeah, I think Parasol Stars didn't appeal just because it seemed a little more kiddy to me than the others for some reason. I know most people really love it.

Good to see nearly all the games I worked on in that list
With the exception of Heimdall, but I guess that doesn't qualify as action |

Agony is nice... if you consider it a game you need to complete on one life, just like Project X. The later stages are brutal. But the levels are also not too long so it is actually a game which invites that challenge. I rate the game higher now than I would back in the day.
No Metal Mutant on the list? That game is so freakishly weird, which is why I love it despite its trading blows gameplay style which usually tanks an action game for me. It has a little puzzle element to it to recharge and save at the right times. |

Yes it is all very subjective but surprised to see no Defender of the Crown, UFO Enemy Unknown or It Came from the Desert!
Nice list on the whole though. |
