Top 10 Amiga EXCLUSIVE games? - Page 2

john4p · 22 January 2009, 12:49

I can only add two titles (since TCD already mentioned Wings and Lionheart):

Apidya
Shadow of the Beast III

But you have to consider there are also a lot of titles which may have been also available on C64, Spectrum, PC and Atari ST but where just leagues beneath the Amiga version, like:

It Came From The Desert,
Super Cars II,
Lotus I & II,
Turrican I & II (of course the C64-versions are technical masterpieces yet it's a totally different experience with the Amiga's graphics and Chris Hülsbeck's music),
Battle Squadron
and many, many more...

Photon: That's awesome!

Yeah, I figured a thread like this, is where it's really at.

Ok, so we've got a couple of lists now, so now comes the next step for me. Finding out which ones are considered by a majority of Amiga-fans as MUST-PLAY games. Basically, pick and chose the ones that you really just gotta' have on your Amiga, from these exclusive titles.

Just edited my list because john4p reminded me of Apidya and SOTB3

john4p · 22 January 2009, 13:44

Still no particular order...

TCD · 22 January 2009, 13:46

Two more :

Assasin
Naughty Ones

Graham Humphrey · 22 January 2009, 14:33

How about Xtreme Racing, is that Amiga-only?

killergorilla · 22 January 2009, 14:35

Edited it again because I forgot about Assassin SE (and Assassin).

Still no particular order

Apidya sounds very interesting, I must say. I believe I've actually heard about that one before... {reads on Wiki}

Oho! Chris Hüelsbeck, eh? Well, then it's certainly worth a listen.

I checked Assasin SE as well, and it certainly seems like a good game. I'm a bit surprised how many of these sort of inspired-by-other games there are on the Amiga tho.

Like:

Katakis => R-type
Turrican => Metroid/Contra
Assasin => Strider
Great Giana Sisters => Super Mario Bros

Apidya is imho Hülsbeck's best work for the Amiga. The soundtrack CD is awesome.

TCD · 23 January 2009, 00:08

^ What Retro said

Well among the great soundtracks he made for the Amiga it's hard to choose, but Apidya is really awesome

Graham Humphrey · 23 January 2009, 00:12

The actual game's not bad, either

I would say my faves are Ruff N Tumble and Traps N Treasures. The top trophy must go to Apidya!

Wikipedia is wrong and states that Apidya was released for Atari ST also.
