  • This is the first episode of many where I showcase my favourite games for a retro system that I believe have aged very well...
    For example I love Elite however I feel if I didn’t grow up with it I would probably struggle to get into it today.
    Please feel free to comment your favourite Commodire Amiga games as I’m trying to achieve the ultimate Amiga games collection, your input means a lot.

I did that the whole year until school finished and my grades allowed me to have one. The first day I played until 3 am which was The Thing as I was a little kid.

I had so much fun with the console and that game (and the early 90s always seemed more care free and simple) that I stood firm that I would never part with it as it's important to cherish things that make you really happy. I'm looking to track down some old games I did part with overtime to relive some memories but we did have a few originals in the boxes and most of the games we had were copies from the carboot sale. That was ok though as they worked fine and also saved on space so we had many to enjoy! I love seeing that people as adults still enjoy the console 😁

    Really good video and very interesting to see your choices, thanks for sharing them.
    It’s not an easy exercise when there are so many classics on the system. The fact there’s no room for the likes of Chaos Engine, Monkey Island, Flashback, Another World, Wings, Lotus 2 etc just shows how difficult it is. Different tastes and nostalgia for different stuff means everyone would have a slightly different list and that’s what makes it so interesting I suppose.
    I’ve never been that keen on single screen platformers (Pang, Rodland etc), at least since Bubble Bobble on the 8-bits, so that would have freed up some room for others in mine.

I know you only included games you owned, but Prince of Persia and Another World should have been on this list (Syndicate also rings a bell). I can only assume you didn't own it.

      Lotus probably should’ve been on there but definitely not Outrun and Chase Hq! They were absolutely terrible ports, and I did grow up with them too, I loved the arcades back in the day and I’ve owned Chase Hq and still own an Outrun and the Amiga versions are unplayable...obviously only my opinion and if we all had the same it would be a boring world..

    Blaze Entertainment recently announced that they would be releasing Amiga collections for the Evercade beginning in 2023. As I don't own an Amiga this is great news for me. They've thus far released 300+ games for Evercade as part of Arcade, Computer, and Console/Handheld collections. So far this has included games for the Atari 2600, 7800, Lynx, Nintendo NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Intellivision, Sega Master System (as a hidden game on the Evercade Vs console; there're several that have been discovered thus far for various systems), Mega Drive, and Commodore 64. All cartridges are multicarts holding between 7 and 20 games each (one only has two). They have three lines of carts. Console/Handheld (Red cases), Arcade (Purple cases), and Computer (Blue cases). They are compatible with their original handheld models, the new EXP model handheld, and the Vs console. And no, I'm not a shill for Blaze, I merely collect and play the carts.

    Aaah that Moonstone on number 15!! I am now 40 and clearly remember the game I managed to kill the dragon and got that sword! Brilliant game!

      Quality game, I never had an original copy growing up and I’ll always remember searching for one in the early 2000s, baring in mind I was picking Amiga games up for next to nothing Moonstone was around £50-£80! I remember getting one for £40 and upgrading it a few times, now it fetches £200+
      Iconic game

    Great list, ever play Hired Guns?
    Was one of the first games you could play 4 player split screen death matches way before Doom/Goldeneye/Quake.

      I do own it but never played it, just bought it as part of the Psygnosis set I’m going for, has it aged well? Obviously some old games are nearly impossible to go back and play if you didn’t play them back in the day

      @@Sinisteve we never played the missions. You can have 4 players (1 mouse, 1 joystick and 2 keyboard) and just hunt and kill each other. It was literally way ahead of its time in that regard. May have not aged well but back then it was like we'd discovered something noone knew about. Epic Deathmatch sessions.
