Best Amiga game you discovered in 2016
Merry Christmas everyone!
What is the best Amiga game you discovered in 2016? *Can be a release from any year but you only started playing this year. Also let me know if you heard of the game before but never played. |

Probably Escape, it was a surprise for me. And I also very enjoyed Aquanaut in EAB / Lemon compo. And not fo forget Inherit the Earth which I was amazed of!

I don't even know where to begin with this one... 2016 has been a great year for the Amiga
I've also added roughly an extra 1000 games to my WinUAE collection; you can see my slightly out-of-date list here... Anyway; for now I'll say Space Taxi 3 |

I was thinking to throw down the gauntlet about what is the best 2016 game, of course I think blocky skies was the best . Really well executed from alpine9000, really pro

Escape from Planet of the Robot Monsters is my gem for 2016.
http://hol.abime.net/2868 Never heard of it before, but was looking for old games pre-1991 (when I first got an Amiga). I have a Gotek in a500 and this ADF was a great find, great looking game, lots of humour. Surprised I missed it first time around. |

I had drawn everything from the scratch, also sfx and game planning. After that I was really tired, that's why I was not so much involved in the end on blocky skies. |

I wouldn't say it's the best. But Reshoot had potential. Such a shame it did not deliver what I was expecting. Still a good game though.

SWOS 2016 / 2017 edition - thanks to everyone who contributed to that.
Impressively, it's managed to get my lad off Fifa 15 on the PS3 so we can play a 'proper' footy game together (specifically one that's got Gareth Bale playing for Real). There's another generation of retro-gamers coming along Me, I started playing Lotus 2 - as recommended by many on this site. I was never really into those 2D racers in the day as 3D and karting games were in the ascendant. It's great fun though. Last edited by zardoz; 20 December 2016 at 14:54. |

If you enjoy Lotus 2, you may also like Jaguar XJ220. |

The best Amiga game that I had never seen before 2016 has to be Tearaway Thomas.

I'm obviously biased towards blocky skies, but it's kind of funny because I originally didn't think it would be a game I would enjoy playing. But I needed complete it to ensure it was possibly and in the end I really enjoyed it (the final levels were quite a challenge for me).
Hopefully I'll be able to do another game in 2017. |
