27 August 2006, 01:20

it seems there are a lot of "favourite games topics", but here we go for a totally subjective list :

Stunt Car Racer : Highly addictive, and jamais egalé
Kick Off 2 : after touch, extra time, 2 players offf course
Wings : i wanted to shoot down all the Fokkers, just me solo, and have an insane amount of kills

Speedball 2 : just to lose your last friends that have resisted to a kick off 2 battle
Pinball Dreams
North & South : Fun maximum with 2 players
Great Courts 2
Lotus Turbo Challenge II
Panza Kick Boxing
Le Manoir De Mortvielle

and i stop to 10

I had a lot of favorites. I guess I could take a stab at a few of my most memorable games.

Questron
Solo Flight
Harley Davidson
Ozwald (my kid played this for a year straight)
Roadwar 2000
Falcon 4.0
Gunship
Bards Tale (all three)
Firepower
Stellar Conflict (This and Firepower I guess were the two multiplayer games I spent the most time with)

Many more, but these came to mind off the top of my head. I spent a lot of time with these.

polybius · 13 September 2006, 01:04

classic much forgotten about Sensible Software game - possibly their first hit?

shillard · 24 September 2006, 07:01

F/A-18 Interceptor
Pirates Gold
Defender of the Crown
Frontier: Elite II
Civilisation
Xenomorph
Uridium 2.2
Paradroid 1990
Populous
Dune II

mr.spiv · 24 September 2006, 09:26

Games that I really spent time playing on Amiga are few. The list goes like:

o Spherical
o Firepower
o Speedball1 (the Ackerlight crackintro rocked)
o Datastrom
o Pinball Dreams

Surprisingly all games except Pinball Dreams were
dual player games

boing_1000 · 25 September 2006, 19:13

Someone else mentioned Beyond Dark Castle. I couldn't agree more, awesome game. I need to get my copy preserved by the SPS asap though. Not sure if they have it.

I think I managed to find an extended .ADF of this. Of course this is only playable in WinUAE though.

The original must have long tracks or something

Yeah it does. In order for me to copy it using XCopy Pro, I had to use Nibble Mode out to Track 81.

sw2001 · 27 September 2006, 02:22

top 5:

Cannon Fodder
Die Siedler
Superfrog
Crazy Sue
Nebulus 2

Lord Riton · 21 January 2011, 19:27

My favorit games were:

1) Captive : Loved that game, played it till the 11th or 12th space station, when "another" door code bug stopped my play

I remember when my brother or a friend sometimes was watching me play it, and then: "ARG!! RUN ! a multicolor !" (i called these air-wolfs with a flame-thrower like that), or "A FACE-LESS !!!, I RUN !!" or same with the blue balls. In the space stations it was a bit like a survival horror, i ran affraid of these BIG demon alliens .. had lot of fun with that game

2) Black Crypt: Nice RPG in the dungeon master style, using the halfbrite 64 color mode perfectly. I always liked dungeon games where you get deeper and deeper inside, and this one was really great

2.5) Oh the heck ! how could i forget the Champions of Krynn series ? loved these too

3) Bloodwych: another RPG in the 3D isometric style (dungeon master style). Graphics were rather poor, but like i said, i liked these dungeon games, and Bloodwych was HUDGE!! Also we could play it at 2 players (even if we only rarely did with my brother), was great fun.

There are of course a lot more games i liked, and not only RPGs, games like Shadow of the beast, Jim Power, Twin-worlds, carrier-command, Populous, powermonger, and a lot more i forget now

Djay · 21 January 2011, 19:46

Frontier - elite 2 : never ending space sim... Exactly what want in a game

Eye of the beholder : good puzzles, dungeon explorer using ad&d ruleset

PGA : a good multiplayer game

Deluxe galaga : oldskool classic shooter with some cool upgrades

Lord Riton · 22 January 2011, 11:49

Some games i remember playing a lot:

Black Crypt One of the best RPG on the amiga for me, nice 64 color halfbright graphics, well animated spells, monsters..
Chaos Strikes back finished it, liked it !
Captive probably the Amiga game i played mostly, i want "Captive" on my xbox 360!
Hired Guns Great RPG in the captive style where you could play 4 robots having each his own 3D view. I prefferer Captive tough.
Bloodwych Also a nice RPG Laby style where you could fast get lost, lots of keys, levers, traps and of course mobs to fight.
Eye Of The Beholder (finished it several times )
Shadow of the beast I-III liked them all, but a little bit more the first one.
Populous I-II (played a lot of maps on both)
Champions of Krynn/Death knight of Krynn / Dark queen of Krynn Liked them a lot for their strategic combat system.
Lotus Turbo Esprit challenge played that game a LOT with friends, was great fun then. I played always the car on botom of the screen using the mouse. top screen car was driven by the joystick.
Carrier Command unfortunatly my version had a bug, i don't know why, but the game bugged each time affter arround an hour or so of play.
Legends of Valour One of the rare 3D RPGs on the amiga, but in fact was far from really beeing a Real and great RPG for me, unfortunatly. But it was in 3D !
Ishar Nice RPG, but a little bugged, lost some saves because of that.
Dungeons of Moria Old MUD rogue-like dungeon crawler game, with ASCII chars as graphics, played that one also quit a lot.
Angband Moria style game.
Jim Power ! great game, wunderfull music, great graphics and animation (why did i forget this one ?)

Will Edit and add more games if i remember them
