I always saw Oblivion as an updated version of one of the later Ultima games (e.g. Ultima IV or Ultima VII). The player is presented with a virtual world to explore in pursuit of a general goal.
Robinson's Requiem might be worth a go. |

I'd say "Free roaming" in this case means more "Sandbox"; something that is supposed to represent a somewhat real environment that provides a certain limited freedom to create your own gameplay. I don't know of such a game on the Amiga because in those days games were still games in their purest form, with specific gameplay tailored to provide fun, not something where you have to look for the fun yourself. But this forum has already proved many times before that I knew only a handful of the Amiga gems available... |

Elite and Frontier: Elite 2 are also pretty decent free roam games. Very immersive if you dig outer space

Space rogue Star Flight Star Flight II Unfortunately games like Omnitrend's Universe I or Sundog were never brought to the Amiga. |

I googled GTA and Oblivion...look like crime simulator and a Shrek movie respectively *yuck!* I don't think there's anything like that for the Amiga. "Cool World" gives you a lil bit of freedom (you can go back and forward between scenes) but I never tried it on an AGA machine.

You'd be very right, but it is a FUN crime simulator
I have no clue where you get that idea though. Oblivion is a "walk in the field with a horse while swinging a sword, for about 30 minutes and then you're done" simulator. |
