Save a miggy game from the Limbo
i like a lot the LemonAmiga adaptive rating system
this list of games came up from there, all the games rated below 5.5 ; each title rated from at least 40 users (lowering to 30 votes the list grows of 70 more games, until reaching more than 1000 with few votes criteria) so i consider the Limbo the cauldron where all the mediocre average rated games are placed this is the crude list : 1000 Miglia 1943 Action Fighter Afterburner 1988 Afterburner 1989 Akira Alien Storm Altered Beast Armalyte Army Moves Astro Marine Corps Baal Baby Jo Back to the Future II Barbarian (Psygnosis) Beyond the Ice Palace Bionic Commando Black Lamp Black Tiger Blade Warrior BMX Simulator Bomb Jack Castlevania Chaos Engine 2 Chase HQ Cisco Heat Cliffhanger Crazy Cars Crazy Cars II Darkman Days of Thunder Dick Tracy Double Dragon Dragon's Lair Dragon's Lair Singe's Castle Dynasty Wars ESWAT Fears FIFA Soccer Final Blow Forgotten Worlds Fright Night Ghostbusters II Gremlins 2 Hard Drivin' Home Alone Human Killing Machine Impossamole Indy Last Crusade (platform) Ivanhoe Kid Gloves Last Action Hero Last Ninja 2 Last Ninja 3 LED Storm Live and Let Die Manhattan Dealers Miami Chase Microprose Soccer Moonwalker Narc Oscar Out Run Pac-Land Paperboy 2 Pinball Mania Pit-Fighter Platoon Power Drift Predator Primal Rage Real Ghostbusters Red Heat Renegade Rise of the Robots RoadBlasters Rolling Thunder Running Man Savage Shinobi Space Ace Street Fighter Strider Strider II Super Street Fighter II Turbo Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Coin Op Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Terminator 2 : Judgment Day Thunder Blade Thundercats Tiger Road Toobin' Top Banana Total Recall Turbo Cup Turbo Out Run U.N. Squadron Vigilante Vixen Who Framed Roger Rabbit Wild Streets WWF WrestleMania Yolanda now if you can 'save' just a title from there, which would be your choice? Savage is my choice, i still like to play that one every now and then i like the colours and the crazy sound effects Last edited by kremiso; 15 May 2024 at 12:05. |

Chaos Engine 2 !!!! less compelling that other Bitmap Bros games, a bit stressful because it plays more like Speedball 2 than Chaos Engine, but excellent graphics, good level design, awesome music...
Apart from that, filtering by developper with "Tiertex" set should yield 99% the same |

Played Rolling Thunder in the day. I liked it despite the crap reviews.

If only one, probably Chaos Engine, but I liked Hard Drivin' on ZX Spectrum and suppose Amiga version can't be any worse.

Rise of the Robots: It would have been nice to have a good looking game that matched the hype instead of the failure we got. At least the game seemed to suck on every platform and not just ours?

Hard Drivin' is not so bad with fastmem. At least the game uses it.
Note that a lot of the games of the above are (bad) arcade ports or (bad) movie ties-in. Hard Drivin' was stunning in the arcades with the sit down version, gear shift and all.. Last edited by jotd; 15 May 2024 at 21:43. |

Dragon's Lair would be mine because seeing it running at the store is what wowed me into asking for an Amiga. Obviously the gameplay wasn't great but for the time the graphics were mind blowing. I'd also add Who Framed Roger Rabbit as it too was one of my first Amiga games and I enjoyed it a lot at the time.

Possibly FIFA though I haven't really played it myself, if only because the game recommends an A1200 and a two-button controller, and I dare say some people have rated it based on how it plays on an A500 with a single-button controller.
I always quite liked Kid Gloves, quite a nice old-style methodical platformer. Forgotten Worlds is reasonable if you can master the controls. Mostly arcade conversions and film / character licenses, perhaps because most bad (or even average) games sink without trace unless there's a reason for them to be bought regardless of quality. The really bad games are the ones with 10-20 votes and an average below 3, many of these are just (roughly) average. |

Indy 3 action game was the first game I got, so I played that a lot. But it's crap, I know.
I did, however, enjoy Terminator 2 (I loved the movie and was a big Arnie fan, so that helped). Also have fond memories of WWF Wrestlemania multiplayer. It was kind of fun to smash your friends across the head with a chair or table. |

Very mediocre/bad games but among them I'd save Ivanhoe.
For some reason I did like it in the days and I still play it now and then trying to complete it (I always arrive at the castle but I haven't found the king yet...) |

One level, the egyptian one, because the Atari ST just could not push that, and they lack space on the disks......

4 levels in the Amiga, 8 in the Arcade 4 bosses in the Amiga, 9 in the Arcade on the Arcade each level have a music, in the Amiga only 2 musics are used the egyptian level in reality are 2 levels, with different bosses at the end; in the Amiga they used the Arcade 6th level (clouds) as the fourth (final) one, putting the arcade final boss (the winged man) at the end of that, instead of the ice boss. so 7 and 8 (final) stages are missing too |

Strangely enough, I would save quite a few of those game, but if I have to save just one, then it's definitely Chaos Engine II, I love the game despite it being heavily criticized.

I just love the tune from the intro and the general atmosphere, also that badass gun the hero is holding, too bad the enemies are respawning though Honorable mentions : Beyond the Ice Palace, Savage (maybe they should have opted for a menu to choose which part to play first), Turbo Cup, Manhattan Dealers (8-bit vibe at its finest!) |
