Lists of notable games for Amiga

absence · 25 December 2013, 20:21

Christmas is a time of lists, and I'm interested in three lists of suggestions for games that were particularily good, original, famous, classic, popular, trendsetting, or otherwise notable:

1. Games that were originally released/developed on Amiga and later ported to other platforms. Examples: Lemmings, The Settlers, Another World, Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions, Populous, Megalomania, Worms.

2. Games that were exclusively released for Amiga, no other platforms.

3. Games that were ported to Amiga from other platforms, and the Amiga version is better than the original. Examples: Silkworm, Turrican.

It's even incredible how they port it !!!! ok sorry, next time i'll have a look before speaking.

Some great games here, thanks! Would be nice if you could include category number. Most of the ones mentioned seem to be 1, Agony is 2.

Another one in 1 is Moonstone.

...Pirates!

Oh no! I disagree. Ok, the Amiga graphics look better than on the C64, but nevertheless it was a bad port. They didn't even manage to implement scrolling.

Maybe... I thought the original was the PC CGA version and I don't know the C64 version.

Also, it make me wonder... Did the original version of Monkey Island was also the CGA (or the EGA) ? Because in that case the Amiga version is way better !

Nice list, sokolovic. Thanks! Guess most of them are covered now.

How has everyone overlooked Beneath a Steel Sky? It was released first on Amiga and remains one of the best adventure games the Amiga has had. Oh I see someone mentioned it before. Well don't forget about the awesome Civilization. Still a classic.

Over on Amibay a bunch of us did retro game reviews. Might be worth checking out.

Apidya, Disposable Hero, Hybris, Apano Sin, Blastar, Cardiaxx, Mega Typhoon...

Brilliant!

Hired Guns (of course

)

Combined cooperative and puzzle-solving gameplay mechanics with a first-person perspective, something that would only two decades later be revisited again, starting with Portal on the PC.
