A lot of omissions for my liking. Sensible Soccer, Populous, Walker, Black Crypt, Dungeon Master, F1GP, Colonization, Ishar, Powermonger, Perihelion, Shadow of the Beast, Street Fighter II, Gods, Super Skidmarks, Gunship 2000, Xenon 2 and definitely Benefactor and fury of the Furries. Oh and Hired Guns playing with 3 other mates swarmed around a tiny TV back in the mid 90s was incredible fun! Everyone has different tastes and I can agree with a lot of this video but the above games are a non negotiable for a top 100 Amiga games. Thanks for the video though, brings back many good memories.
Thanks for dharing! These personal lists are always a nice reminder of how much nostalgia colors our opinions. Everybody has these quirky and objectively "bad" games that still hold a special place.
A brilliant original list of games here for what I consider the golden age of the amiga from 89 to 92. There are obviously other games after that but the growth and development of programming in that period was something else
Thank you, very nice presentation. For me, some important titles are missing though : Dungeon Master, Kick Off 2, Battle Squadron, Populous, Turbo, Harlequin, Rainbow Islands, Sensible Soccer, Indianapolis 500, New Zealand Story
Not everybody likes football games :) I do, but I don't care for puzzlers or platformers much, so they wouldn't feature in my own top 100 Amiga games that I remember most fondly. As the video description says, this list is based on the uploader's personal memories and feelings. For me Manchester United in Europe and Double Dragon 3 would be high on such a list, as would Final Fight, even though objectively all three games could be heavily criticised. For me they were games I played early on in our Amiga owning days and I got a lot of pleasure from them (DD 3 & Final Fight largely because I was 10-11 years old and obsessed with fighting games and films).
I love these lists, great work its always nice to see what othet people loved. I hate people being rude in comments because they dont like that a particular game was left out or not high enough etc Make your own list then you massive baby!
There are lots of great games on here, including many of my favourites - Civ, The Settlers, UFO, Historyline, Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis, Lotus 2, Moonstone...well, I could keep on going. As for suggestions to add to such a list, a game that I never played until recently was Rodland, released in 1990 or 1991. It's a great arcade conversion that I would urge anyone to give a go, simple controls but very fun. A fond memory for me is a game we got on budget early in our ownership of the Amiga (which was bought for us by Dad for Xmas '91); RBI Baseball 2. In a similar vein to UFO I would add Sabre Team (controls weren't as refined as those of UFO, though, but in its favour for people like me it has realistic weaponry). Roadkill was a good racer from 1995, and earlier there were the very fun Indy Heat and Off Road Racing. Oh, and Skidmarks! Subwar 2050 was another late game, as was Virocop, both worthy titles. IK+ and Panza Kick Boxing were fun fighting games, the latter probably being the pinnacle of single player fighting on the Amiga. Future Wars was a good point 'n' click adventure. Don't think I noticed Geoff Crammond's F1 GP in this list either, surely the best simulation racing game on the Amiga and on any platform in the early 90s. Vroom is a racing game from the same year (1991) that was more arcade but with wonderful speed and precise control with the mouse - hard to learn but allowing complete control of the vehicle. Which brings me on to No Second Prize...one could go on forever!
A great reminder (if ever it was needed) of how good the Amiga is. The comedy games were making me laugh out loud even in these small clips. The best home computer ever.
Thx 4 this list! Like how u present it with different Screens, Gameplay, Titel Screen and original Sounds. Good work! 😘 ❤ (maybe one times the top 100 c64 games? 😊😉)
I firmly remember playing zool, mortal kombat and street fighter 2 turbo. Glad to see James pond 1 and 2 on here they were quality games. Got all the games mentioned on the mega drive.
Lotus turbo 2 was class ...I had the ST version it was very similar to the amiga version which was a plus ! It's was so smooth and responsive...and great to look at... I actually enjoyed speed ball one more than 2 lol another game that was just as good on the ST
Ah, Lure of the Temptress, one of the games I remember from my childhood and forgot the name of to find and play it now! Maybe you can help me with another one though, that I didn't find scrolling through your video: You control two characters (moving together). Top downish view, you could either move around a town on the streets, or go down into the sewers, and you could buy and use various costumes for the characters which would let you do things. e.g. you could get a snail costume and then you'd have access to snail races to make money, or you could dress up like a child and then you could make money playing a minigame of "hit the line" against kids. I couldn't much into English back then, and I remember very little other than you'd get arrested, and that you could rob a (judge's?) house to steal his stamp collection. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
You're correct! I'd found it already though - I remembered that I had it on a floppy together with Vampire's Empire (I didn't remember the name, but enough of the gameplay that I managed to identify it and Clever and Smart was made by the same company / released by the same publisher, so I found it in their catalogue). 🙂 Shame that both the games seem pretty... unfinished.
My number 1 is ❤ Battle Squadron ❤ with 2 Players!! And I loved Pang, Flood, Golden Axe, Super Cars and Hero Quest. I didnt like Speedball and Soccer games 😂
I only played 3 of your top 100 on the A500. Cal Games, First Samurai and Rick Dangerous. Both Gobliins, Humans and both Monkey Islands on PC. Defender of the Crown on C64. Surprised there was no Sensible Soccer or TV Sports Basketball. World Games was great. IK Plus. Beyond the Ice Palace. I bought my Amiga to play Might and Magic 3. Lastly, Fire and Ice is by far the best game ever made for the Amiga.
Most were not Amiga exclusives (the video doesn't claim they were) but also most were not converted FROM consoles, a lot of the time it was the other way around. A lot of the point and click adventure games were made first for PC then ported to the Amiga. I couldn't think of any on the list which were actually made for consoles and then ported to the Amiga.
My top 5 - 1- Sensible Soccer(how????? Whyyyy???? is not in this list???? 2 - PreHistorik fun AF (Loved that game so much) 3 - Rick Dangerous(Always loved the scream), 4 - North and South, 5 - CarVup (Another not on this list) - Now My Favs: SpeedBall, Cabal, The Blue Brothers, Pang, Wings of Fury (Brutal), Golden Axe, Push-Over(Hours of gameplay), Lotus, Lemmings, Kick Off (Not on the list)
I can tell you exactly why. I played the game at a friend's house and had a mouse in my hand for the first time in my life. I found that so fascinating that the game has a special place in my heart
@@Retrospective-Games I saw the game at my uncle's, he was showing my dad. I think it was on an Atari or another computer, not an amiga. I discovered very recently that it also was on amiga.
Sorry but it's a pretty bad list, not only is the order completely random: sometimes a great game followed by junk, but it has lots of games that definitely don't belong to the list, and missing some of the best games too :/
You can keep your top three. But that's just me. They're not my thing. I would go 1 Syndicate, 2 Worms, 3 Lemmings. One thing I am puzzled by tho... No Populous. Did I miss that? Did you never play it? Or do you genuinely think it's that bad? I know it's probably not top 10 material but surely it's better than some of the sketchiness on this list. 😕
@@Retrospective-Games it's very hard to say if you would get any pure gaming pleasure from it. As with any game it's a question of personal preference. What works for me might not work for you. But if you're trying to build a channel about retro gaming then it's probably worth a try because it does have some historical significance. From that point of view (a broad base of experience) it is worth having under your belt, even if it's not your thing. One thing to note... Even if it is your "cup of tea" there is a learning curve to get through before you can really start to enjoy it. You will need a manual and a fair bit of patience. It's not a variation on a theme like the latest FPS or platformer. It's pretty unique. Maybe search for some videos first. See if it appeals and then decide.
Wow. Thank you for the detailed answer. You are certainly absolutely right. Bute i will give it a try. Would you recommend the Amiga or another platform anyway?
@@Retrospective-Games part of the reason for my detailed reply... When it comes to electronic gadgets the Amiga is the love of my life. And that's not just a gaming thing (as it is for some). The Amiga was an all round tool for creative types who couldn't afford professional equipment. We used it to make music, although the ST may have had a slight edge in that department. We used it for coding (big hobby of mine back then). And it's really hard to talk about the history of digital animation, ray tracing, etc, without mentioning the Amiga. I could go on. In fact, I could talk about it all day. And that might seem alien to younger generations who do all this stuff on PC or Mac nowadays but in those days you would need to remortgage to get a machine like that. You wouldn't find them in bedrooms or basements. They were for running accounting software and databases in offices and whatnot. Two different worlds. Two separate markets. Even towards the late nineties a PC for the home was a major investment. For underground/indi hobbyists on a tight budget like me the A500 (with it's 512k RAM, custom chipset and midi port) was a gift from the gods. I don't just recommend the Amiga above any platform ever. I say... Let us build a temple, get down on our knees and praise the lord of all number crunching machines. 😂
I only played Populous recently via emulation - without the manual I couldn't do very much, but in any case I don't think it's my sort of game. I remember a friend back then raving about it, and of course it was highly praised in magazines, but we all have different tastes. Incidentally another game that I didn't play until recent years via emulation, Rodland, I found to be immensely fun and wish I'd played it in the 1990s as well.

Yeah, and instead a ton of platform and space shooters.
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for reminding me about some absolute classic games!
of course we had a different experience playing amiga games. So good job man.
Cool Video!
Missing Pinball Fantasies and Turrican 1

Thank you very much :)

Appreciate the effort you put into this, a few I'd definitely have in there but never mind :)
I missed zool and Stunt racer in this list. But Videos like this bring back old memories ❤
Speedball 2 deserves better than place 93t ..just my opinion. :)
And your opinion means nothing so
And The Lost Patrol deserves a Top 10 place, not 97. Couldnt find the best game of it all imho: It came from the desert. Still cool video, though!
Make a list then. So I can watch it
Order is mostly random.
It's not an ordered list.
Great list with some of my faves 👍
i cannot believe there is not 1 version of sensible soccer in this 100 list .. that to me is just crazy .

:p

Sehr schöne Zusammenstellung, Danke!
Just missing: it came from the desert, goal and sensible soccer, the rest i fully agree😊

Robin hood? A true gem of fun and strategy
Amazing compilation bro, Thanks.
I'd put pinball dreams up there in top 10, but it's just opinions :) Great list, reminded me of games i'd forgotten, thanks man.
Da werden Erinnerungen wach :-)
holy ... i played all of them. all. this is insane. plus sensible world of soccer and some other football manager games. and kaiser.
Ah, Lure of the Temptress, one of the games I remember from my childhood and forgot the name of to find and play it now!

Where is shadow of the beast?
Well this review is based of HIS own bias.
on rank #101
My number 1 is ❤ Battle Squadron ❤ with 2 Players!! And I loved Pang, Flood, Golden Axe, Super Cars and Hero Quest. I didnt like Speedball and Soccer games 😂
Good mix of games, nice with some games that are not in the bunch of the usual =)

It Came From The Desert!?????
All of these games were produced for amiga only? Or its is transformation from other consoles mostly?

I love the old Amiga games. If you like you can play my new Amiga Game Dr. Dangerous. :)
Nr. 59 there was no Amiga in 1982.
Oh... You absolutely right. It was a mistake. 1992 not 1982
I still play Space Crusade ocasionally , it is a great game, and very close to the board game, also Hero Quest was great too.
NITRO-SWITCHBLADE-KICKOFF2-THE MANAGER-PROJECTYLE-OVER THE NET-WINTER GAMES-PRINCE OF PERSIA-MARBLE MADNESS-SUPER OFFROAD-MORTAL KOMBAT...

I know its not a Best Of, but you missed out on Elvira 1 & 2 and Dungeon Master from your youth
Dune 2, The Settlers, Pinball Dreams, Cannon Fooder, Syndicate - those are the best games😉

Best shmup ever, IMHO 🙂
People in the comments really sure do love sensible soccer
Hired guns, dungeon, populous, international karate plus, paradroid, the immortal, rtype2
where's hiemdal and sensible soccer
👍👍
I'm surprised at Shufflepuck Coffee at 23.

Yikes…I’ll never downvote an Amiga video, but how on Earth do you leave Shadow of the Beast or Kick Off out of a top 100?
If you didn't play those games or didn't like them! :) We all have different tastes.
Because it is his list. Make your own if you're that bothered..
Speedball 2 in the 90s?
Look, I know opinions are subjective and all that, but were you just really bad at it or something?
