Classic arcade games on the miggy

antonvaltaz · 05 March 2010, 12:02

I thought I'd try to brainstorm all the classic arcade games that have been done on the Amiga, either faithful conversions or updated versions. These are some noteworthy efforts that I could come up with initially:

Asteroids - Blasteroids, Stardust, Super Stardust, Cabaret Asteroids (PD)
Space Invaders - Super Space Invaders
Galaxian/Galaga - Deluxe Galaga
Pac-Man - Deluxe Pac-Man, Pac-Mania
Defender - Defender II (Llamasoft), Defender (PD - Acid), Datastorm, Overkill

Any others that anyone knows of? Did anyone try to do Amiga versions of any others like Tempest, Pong, Missile Command or Battlezone?

I always liked this version of...

Pacman - Pucman

Although...this version isn't what you would call a "faithful" conversion of Pong but it is fun all the same... (Click)

Yes, I found it on AMR. "Grass" is different on sticker than in game but maybe it's screenshot from later level.
