Best Amiga games to play with only a mouse + kb?

clownstyle · 17 July 2015, 01:50

I'm sure this may have been asked before, and I know I can emulate the joystick with winUAE...

I have a few boring weeks ahead at work, which may lead me to installing winUAE to play some games

Can you recommend any that can be played with just a keyboard and mouse?

So far on my list:

Cannon fodder
Monkey Island
Beneath a steel sky
Lemmings

Dungeon Master
EOB
Black Crypt
Knightmare
Captive
Bloodwyche

Super Hangon (mouse control)

Future Wars
Operation Stealth
Universe
Cruise for a corpse

The Settlers
Sim City

Both great games, more thoughtful, more suited to a work environment than a clicker-masher.

UFO: Enemy Unknown
Syndicate
Utopia
Populous (1 and 2)
Powermonger
K240
Dune 2
No Second Prize

etc

Because the Amiga had quite a few adventure games, RPGs, puzzle games and strategy/sim games that generally are played with a mouse / keyboard+mouse

You can basically just open up those categories in HOL and take your pick from there.

Games playable ONLY with a keyboard, now that is a far more rare selection.

Civilization
Railroad Tycoon

These give you the option to press '1' for Mouse + Keyboard or '2' for Keyboard. Did other Sid Meier games do the same? I don't think Colonisation did. Surprised that these weren't mentioned earlier by the way - Civ is one of my all time favourites.

If you want some shoot-em-up action: Battle Squadron!

Rainbow Islands is regarded as a very keyboard-friendly game, although I always played it with a joystick. That said, after a few goes on emulation in WinUAE through a keyboard I was as good at it as I was 20 years ago on joystick. Also Megaball and Poing if you like the old Breakout style. Football management games are obvious too - Premier Manager 2's my Amiga favourite.
