Amiga neglected shooters
Back in the day, the shooter was the most popular genre after platformers.
Now, we can still enjoy this genre mostly via emulation. This site is dedicated to one of my fave amiga shooters, "The Oath" http://www.nemmelheim.de/theoath/ |

It's average shooter, Hybris or Videokid are much better.

Xenostar is certainly neglected. It's a nice Amiga conversion of Sinistar, but it's not listed in any Amiga game list I've seen.

The Oath is one of the rare shoot'em up that handle 2 players at the same time. Some nice TFMX music and an overall special atmosphere !
It's not an excellent shoot'em up, not bad neither... but it has something particular. Nice dedicated website. |

Blastar was nice, but it's likely that it wasn't all that negleted anyway
