Which famous games are Amiga originals?
Which famous game were first written for the Amiga and then ported to other systems?
Let me start with Lemmings, a world-famous game originally written for the Amiga by DMA Design. |

Food for thought, Amiga original games with at least one conversion as listed in HOL:
http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?...isoriginal=yes Then it all depends on your definition of famous. For instance, if you consider legacy and influence on later games, I guess you could add Defender of the Crown and Populous for instance. |

Even my friends, that are not in strategies at all, had them, because they liked graphics so much. Defender was the first thing you show to some friend that had some cga, ega PC, and watch his reaction.  We can maybe add Ruff n tumble to the list, though it was never ported to some other machine. |

Beast 2 Amiga version is probably the most unplayable, console versions are much more playable : (
I was going to say Gods but might of been Atari ST |

Apparently Lemmings sold 15 million copies in the end ( all formats) which probably makes it the biggest, unless worms did even better.

I think a certain criteria of being ported to at least 2-3 other formats with at least one of those being a console format, whilst being sold in at least 2 continents then they should make the list imo. |

I thought Zool was meant to be the Amiga's answer to Mario or Sonic. I was pissed when it was converted to other platforms.

Flashback is confusing, it was originally written for the Sega Mega Drive, but released on Amiga first.
So in terms of release, it’s an Amiga Original, but in reality, not. |

in the end, it is neither of them and twinworld originated from the amstrad/schneider or even zx (which both are really nice, like them)  [ Show youtube player ] |
