  • Here's a small list of just 30 games (from a huge library) that were incredible on the Amiga and that other systems' players would get extremely jealous about. This list is composed of games available on a multitude of other systems, but also of titles that were exclusive to the Amiga family.

    You caught me ! The first time I saw an A500, I was still rocking my ZX spectrum.. and of course it was instant jealousy..
    In around 91' we had a 386sx PC at home, and I was still jealous about my best friend's Amiga.
    Although through the next years the PC revealed itself being a more capable gaming machine than the amiga, specially for 3D games, if you had a svga card, HD, etc.. the Amiga was special and I would eventually get one later. For me Amiga was the "Golden system" of a "Golden Era".

      Nonsense. The Amiga was a second-rate gaming platform. It had the Euro developers but all the great gaming IP at the time was owned by Japanese companies and the consoles had by far the most popular titles worldwide, including Zelda, Sonic and Mario, and some of the best games which have ever been written.

    the Amiga actually made the other computer platforms struggle to catch up.. for years they tried to push the idea that "serious computers" shouldn't use a lot of color or sound.. and deep graphic power was not useful for anything but games.. They were of course wrong and the Amiga made them eat those words.

    The thing that made Amiga so unique is that it also had the most ambitious and sophisticated games including strategy, RPG, management, crossover games. It allowed ambitious gamemakers to go crazy with ideas never seen before. It also provided a serious amount of tools like programing environments, graphics and sound editing software that made the system a workstation for creative people.

    I loved my Amiga 500 (like my C64 before it). I used it right up until I upgraded to PC in the mid-90's, so I recognize a lot of the titles presented and they gave me nostalgia feels. I recently bought the Amiga Forever software for ease of use and have been having a blast going through what I remember owning. Your list added a number of others I'd forgotten. Cheers.

    Another great video on the Amiga.
    About half this games are just new to me. Thanx.
    In 1988, when full steaming on ZX48k, still remember the first time I saw an A500 at a friend's house, it was running Saint Dragon. I became so confused... How could that be possible!? A home computer running a hot arcade title of the time, at that high level of conversion! The same later, with Silk Worm.
    Later in 1992 I became a proud A1200 owner, bought at SilicaSystems, Tottenham Court Road, London. This time my favorites became Frontier, Syndicate, Chaos Engine, F-15 Strike Eagle 2 and Pinball Fantasies.
    Cheers 🍺

      Falcon! I would love the chance to play head-to-head via null modem cable again. I did that once with 2 Atari STs. I'd love to do the same with an ST, Amiga, or PC, and any combination thereof. Actually, only the PC to see how different it might play with an analog joystick. Otherwise, strictly Amiga and ST.

    The Amiga exclusive I played the most was actually a public domain program, IIRC. The Amiga version of Space War was very different from other versions, and generally unusual because it used hires interlaced mode (which, on an AGA machine, would be a very rock solid 640x400 flicker-fixed mode). The thing that made Amiga Space War so different was that your torps had a low muzzle velocity and low range compared to the ship's natural acceleration. You had to use very different tactics, including firing an arc of torps while facing and thrusting AWAY from the enemy.
    Anyway, I think that the Amiga games which made others envious were generally not exclusives. In particular, look at the Cinemaware games. Most of them would be ported to other systems, but the graphical inferiority of the ports would just hammer home the superiority of the Amiga hardware (albeit perhaps unfairly).
    But honestly? The jealousy direction went the other way after Wing Commander. And after Wolfenstein 3D? After Doom? You already know this. DOS machines were the top dog. The Amiga's 3d graphics games were lame in comparison, and VGA looked better for point-and-click games (which is sad, because Amiga point-and-click games could have looked better with interlaced or HAM modes, or even just using the copper for dynamic palette).
    I'm disappointed that we never had any games take advantage of HAM mode. It would work particularly well with pinball games, point-and-click games, and isometric games. I actually started working on a HAM interlaced isometric game starring a "killer ball bearing" (a shiny sphere armed with a battle axe). But I never got further than drawing some graphics in DigiPaint3.

    When I was a kid I had tapes full of game, demo and cracktro (ahem...) music recorded from my brothers Amiga 500. I also had a seperate tape only with the best Turrican 1-3 songs.

      Bons tempos :) Tantos títulos incríveis no Amiga (outros nem tanto) que me faziam ligar a máquina assim que chegava da escola para simplesmente ouvir a música das intros ou das cracktros enquanto fazia os trabalhos de casa ;) Então no Turrican 2 (só para dar um exemplo), ao pressionar na barra de espaços enquanto estamos no ecrã inicial/menu/intro vamos parar a uma espécie de jukebox onde podemos selecionar uma música específica de um determinado nível do jogo, ou simplesmente deixar tocar todas as tracks como se de um cd áudio se tratasse ;)

    I had an Atari STe FM, at the time I thought it was pretty good but then a couple of friends from my school had the Amiga 500. I can't remember what game it was but we were all out one day and bought a computer magazine which had demo disks on the front, this particular one had a version for both the Atari and the Amiga and there was a preview in the magazine as well and the difference was night and day. From that point on all I wanted was an Amiga.

    Got to say that there is no arguing against this list... I think the slightly bigger video duration is quite necessary to elaborate such amazing title compilation from almost, if not all, these "household names".
    But I actually have a question that from you as an AMIGA connaisseur, what about Jaguar XJ220 from 1992?
    It was reviewed back in the day, as better than the actual Lotus II and I was able to understand many years later why I enjoyed it so much.
    What do you think about this title in comparison Lotus II?
    Great video and keep it up!

      Hi, Dj! Jaguar XJ220 is, indeed, a very good racer. It's in full screen, something that the Lotus games aren't. Even so, I didn't play it that much at the time. When the game came out, I was already all over the the PC and playing Lotus Ultimate Challenge, simply because I was a huge fan of the previous ones on the Amiga (lotus 1 and 2).
