My first Defjam/CCS pack was Carrier Command. God that disk was a revelation coming from a Speccy.

Marble Madness is good game I played it a lot in Arcade machine in the Italian Pizza Restaurant
but for me The best Amiga Single Disk Game is: FA-18 Interceptor (1988)(Electronic Arts) And Rick Dangerous (1989)(Micro Style) Last edited by Sona; 01 September 2020 at 18:06. |

Only the cracked version of Turrican 2 had 2 disks.
The original was 1 disk. Still unbelievable for me how that amount of graphics, music and code could fit on one disk. |

So many fantastic games mentioned.
I can't rank them, so I'm just throwing out "No Second Prize" as it hasn't been mentioned I don't think. If it has then ditto What else can I remember?................ James Pond Deluxe Pacman Shufflepuck Cafe are a couple I remember. |

Most of the 2 disk games used the first one for the intro.
I'd go for Exile. An open world physics and AI based game, years before the genre became popular. Also Player Manager which is an amazing game And Lotus Trilogy on CD32 Last edited by Gilbert; 06 December 2020 at 16:54. |

Yeah, Exile was very impressive.
I've mostly played it on my C64, and it was very impressive there too. But for best game on one disk, I have to go with Frontier. The size of that game is insane, and it's not even a full disk! Procedural's at it's best. |

I never got into Frontier. I really like the original Elite on Amiga though - despite the gaudy color scheme! It's more streamlined and snappy. One day I will try Frontier again, |

But it had 2 weakness, imho: 1) Non arcade dogfights. It maybe had better physics model then Elite, but Elite was way more fun in dogfights. Frontier made it very automated, and boring. The assassination missions is fun, though. 2) No campaign at all. Elite have some sort of unique missions (that someone could call it campaign), but Frontier just have several types of procedural missions. Once you do them all several times, buy a best ship out there you like, nothing much to do in the game. |

I still haven't played Elite : Dangerous (I still have an Xbox 360 as my most recent console!) but from what I read at the time, Braben had realized the mistakes he made with Frontier by that time. Last edited by Gilbert; 08 December 2020 at 18:41. |
