I'm thinking it was worms.

Looking at old mags looks like MF was the last in Dec 96, Worms DC Nov 96, and AB3D2 May-Jun 96

Did the same when I worked at EB, £20 for the CD32, and all the games I could carry. Wish i'd kept them! I had some cable that let my CD32 act as a CD-ROM for my A1200, very slow though!

Edit: I'm proud to say the last boxed Amiga game I bought was Rygar AGA a couple of weeks ago

My last boxed-product purchase was actually 2 games:

Sensible World of Soccer 96/97
Worms The Directors Cut AGA

I worked for Game computer stores in the late 90's and these were the last two "brand new" releases for the Amiga that came into the store IIRC.

Between then and when I left (November 1997) we continued to receive the odd boxed copies of older Amiga games (Starlord, UFO Enemy Unknown, B17 Flying Fortress for example) but no more new releases, sadly. My store manager was always trying to retire that Amiga shelf of games but I successfully defended it for nearly three years. And there were -zero- Atari ST games the whole time I worked there

The last one I can remember I bought is Theme Park when it was released in stores here in Sweden. Hard to remember though.

Cannon Fodder 2. What a disappointment, a complete wash.

Out of the roughly 200 games that I had, the originals were:

Cannon Fodder
Cannon Fodder 2
Darkseed
Dune II
Street Fighter 2
Wing Commander
Universe
Worms

So, not great. In retrospect, the larger-than life games that I SHOULD have bought were definitely:

Pinball Dreams / Fantasies
Settlers
Monkey 1 and 2

Omitting classics like that, while owning junk like SF2, CF2 and Darkseed is as backwards as can be.

Ah the Cannon Fodder series, single handily ruined by Stuart Campbell, i gave him 8%

Cannon Fodder 2 and Chaos Engine 2 were very close to the end of my original run with Amiga. I think Chaos 2 was the very last 'big' release on Amiga that I played. It definitely prompted me to think the party's over, time to do something better with my time.

On a positive note, unboxing, launching and completing the original Cannon Fodder is an everlasting gaming memory for me. But that's off-topic.

Last boxed game I got was Capital Punishment. Was at an amiga show in St. Louis and they were selling these for really cheap (I think something like $5 or less).

Last Classic Amiga game I own is... Star Fighter: D'Yammen's Reign. Except it was so buggy I could never get it to work right on my A4000 w/68060 =(
