Amiga Hall of Fame best of the 80's

Freakyweakywoo · 27 September 2004, 13:06

Just for a bit of fun here are the winners from all the 80's hall of fames I've done so far. Now lets vote which out of them is the best game of the 80's. I'll do this for the 90's and then all the years are done I might do a best game of all time poll using the winner from each year.

To remind you:

85-86 Winner with 17 votes Defender of the Crown
1987 Winner with 19 votes Arkanoid
1988 Winner with 11 votes IK+
1989 Winner with 06 votes Elite

looking back at the previous winners, I wonder if we really voted correctly.

Of the games represented here, I cast my vote on IK+ though

27 September 2004, 13:33

Seriously none but for now, IK+

killergorilla · 27 September 2004, 13:41

Well I didn't vote for any of the above games in each of the year polls so I'm really not a great fan of any of the games on the list. I've voted for Arkanoid as it's my fave game from that list, although I do understand how good Elite is as a game, I'm just shit at it and never play it!

So for me it's mr bat and ball

wanderer · 27 September 2004, 14:14

Best game of the 80's? Even for fun, this is way too heavy for these games... D.O.T.C. for sentimental reasons, IK+ is the more fun to play, but hardly Game of the 80's just for flying heads and embarassing trousers!

Shoonay · 27 September 2004, 15:25

...and another vote goes to IK+

darkwave · 27 September 2004, 17:10

Elite all the way!

Peanutuk · 27 September 2004, 17:45

IK+ again for me, a game I did vote for originally.

It's doing something right to still be actually played by myself today and not just talked about.

Marcuz · 27 September 2004, 20:38

can't help on this one

dwood · 28 September 2004, 00:51

is one of the best ever games. i played itfor months on my acorn electron and years later i played the amiga version for months.

Dastardly · 28 September 2004, 00:57

Im sure I would have voted for Elite if Id had the pleasure, but I didnt get into it until Frontier arrived.

IK+ for me.

Amiga1992 · 28 September 2004, 01:11

I'll have to go for IK+ from that list, but as someone mentioned before, they look like shit titles. Arkanoid?

dwood · 28 September 2004, 01:27

was excellant. i never saw the amiga game though.

the wolf · 28 September 2004, 02:28

Bleah.
I suggest to take at least the best three of each year, Those 4 titles are in some way embarassing to be considered "the top of 80"...
My 2 cents...

Freakyweakywoo · 28 September 2004, 10:58

If it was top thrre from each year it would have been:

Defender of the Crown
Marble Madness
The Bards Tale
Arkanoid
Star Glider
Leisure suit larry in the land of the lounge lizard
IK+
Dungeon Master
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
Elite
Battle Squadron
Populous
Rainbow Island

The last two titles were tied for 3rd. But would it not be strange for a game to be voted best of the 80's (even if it was for fun) yet it didnt even win best game of its year? Nice looking list though.

killergorilla · 28 September 2004, 11:05

I think that maybe it should have been the top 3 from each year, it would make it a more realistic list, trouble is so many people have posted!

Oh well, this list is only for fun! I would have voted for Rainbow Islands now though.

killergorilla · 28 September 2004, 11:07

I lied...

this was probably my best game...

Top 3 games from each year of the 80s would seem better (my vote would go to Battle Squadron). Poll is a bit sparse otherwise.

Freakyweakywoo · 28 September 2004, 12:47

If I get two or three more 'top 3 would have been a better idea' posts then I'll do it, the sparse one can be for fun and the top 3 one can be a 'quite fun, but a bit serious at the same time' poll.

Thanks for the typo spot KG

I've put it right now.
