Great Games - That were not well known
I spend hours browsing through Hall of Light, trying to find games that I may of missied when I originally had an Amiga.
What games did/do you love that were never well known. I still enjoy playing: Ports of Call: Great trading sim Battletech: Jap style RPG on Amiga Kult: Wierd but great and an awesom soundtrack Yo Joe!: Best platformer ever? |

Yo! Joe! was an excellent game. Not to mention it's brilliant music.

Typhoon Thompson!
It has beautiful graphics and great animation, atmospheric music and sound effects and an anti-hero who doesn't really want to go! Try playing it with a trackball if you've got one. |

Yo Joe was good but very flat and I finished it in 2 days.
One of the games that was not very popular but was still a great game was Mean Streets. Excellent game, great variability in the gameplay, cool Bladerunner-esque atmosphere. |

Yo! Joe is good, but hardly the best platform game ever.
Benefactor, that's a game that deserves to be more known.. |

Yeah I missed you too Alky
Ok great subject! my choice is Lords of War. It's a warlords (see Atari VCS) rehash. But it's got cool music and graphics and great solo action (for freindless guys like me)

Yo Joe? Very playable and fun - but - very easy too - i finished it after one day...
Benefactor - great game - but very well known in Poland .Not popular gems? Lionheart (one of my alltime favourite)Fire and Brimstone (very difficult game - similar to ghosts'n goblins, wiyh many, many traps) Lolly Pop (very good platformer - nice graphics and very good music) Leander (for me its better than Beast 1 and 2 together )Elf (Ocean) - very good music Traps'n Treasures - graphics average - but gameplay - superb, plenty of weapons, enemies, - great game - one of the best adventure platformers.Try it!! Cedric - good but not great mix of adventure and platformer. |

Yes, I also finished Yo! Joe in a couple of days playing it, and without using continues ...
D/Generation is another underdog... I hardly see anyone talking about it, and it's a damn fine game.... |
