The Amiga will always be the pinnacle of my gaming life!
I started out with handhelds then on to Atari then speccy right through to Xbox-one X.
Did the whole pc thing from 486 to modern day too, but nothing has ever come close to being there when the Amiga/St arrived. The state of wonder and excitement of those years will never be surpassed. Amiga has no peers, but you had to be a part of it at the time to in anyway understand :) Anyone who's in there 50s who loved these computers knows exactly where I'm coming from I'm sure :)
My brothers had an amiga and I played a lot of games on it, but I was too young to get secret of monkey island for instance. Stunt car 3D, lemmings and gravity force were big favourites I remember. The game that truly awed me was Ultima underworld on the early 90's PC. It was so bizzarely ahead of its time and came from seemingly of nowhere that it's as surprising as finding rabbit skulls in pre-cambrian rock. It's not just the graphics, that's kind of understandable, if impressive; but you played as yourself, not as a party, you could jump and swim and solve these puzzles in multiple different ways, and the enemies where not pure evil but these warring factions that you could befriend or try and stay out of the conflict, sneaking was a thing, you could take notes on the ingame automap without having to use pen and paper.
Cool well said...I have had a similar gameing life....I still have my Amiga 2000....
50s? :)
Even in their early 60s! I had a Commodore 128 in the 80s but the Amiga was a revelation when I got mine in 1990 and had such a loyal, enthusiastic fan base. It was way ahead of its time and there was so much you could do with it on top of gaming. I made a fair bit of music and art on it too. Even used it for maths.
I grew up with an amiga, 500 first and then 2000. I remember the feeling of the disks and the smell and sounds of the computer. The satisfying clicks of the keys.
The music was better than pcs that came later
Amiga deserves so much more credit in the global retro gaming scene.
My buddy had one back in the day and i was fascinated with it.
It’s pretty well respected actually ... I was lucky enough to have one as my first computer in 1995 , in retrospect, I’m very lucky we couldn’t afford an IBM 486 cause the Amiga is and always will be king !!
Amiga is very popular on retro scene. Just look how many FPGA recreations and Amiga accessories, expansions are available now. There are even projects that turn Raspberry Pi into Amiga accelerators and RGB to HDMI converters. You can also get new cases in many colors, including transparent one. And original hardware is expensive as hell. The new games are being released every year and there are many projects to get a complete Amiga experience on a PC, Rasberry Pi like FS-UAE, Amiga Forever, PiMiga etc. The most interesting projects are UnAmiga, MiSter and Vampire Standalone boards that can replace original hardware adding all the modern features to get rid of all the hassle.
@@mattx5499 it just gets barely any coverage on UA-cam, or other media.
@@drunkensailor112 Like retro computers in general. Most people go crazy over consoles.
I love the Amiga and it's always interesting to see what others would list in their top 100 games. I personally would have included -
Flashback
Another World
K240
UFO Enemy Unknown
Dune 2
North & South
Monkey Island 1 & 2
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Sid Meier's Pirates!
F1GP
Defender of the Crown
Gunship 2000
Knights of the Sky
Hunter
Agreed. Lure of the temptress, beneath a steel sky, champ manager, robocod
K240 was brilliant
Hunter, yes!
Brutal Sports Football
This video is like a Christmass for me. 💖
Amiga games has defined my childchood so much. 🤖
kim justice and xmas just feels right.
Hunter was one of my favs, it was like early GTA where you were in an open world, so many vehicle types available as well.
Same here. Loved the hovercraft when I found it on the map
It was so crazily ahead of it's time.. very tough for a kid but a true masterpiece for sure.
a modern version a bit like arma could be good, midwinters as well.
I actually never liked it as I think I was too young. I have since however gone back and looked at it numerous times and only then, realised what it was. Far ahead of its time for sure.
45:23 You loved Rodland so much that you don't seem to realise that pushing up (or down) with the fire button you can create ladders... :)
Lots of interesting choices there. The Amiga really was an absolute gaming powerhouse, with literally thousands of amazing games.
A couple I would recommend for you to check out, based upon your selections (if you haven't played them already) : Captive & Captive II: Liberation, Harlequin, Frontier: Elite 2, Arabian Nights, Exile, Wing Commander, UFO Enemy Unknown and Genesia.
Yeah criminal that Frontier, Wing Commander and UFO didn't make it!
Anyone who hasn't played Frontier on Amiga doesn't deserve to have an Amiga.
@@leegsy Well.... It's a cut down version of a pc game,, The amiga version isn't the best way to exsperiance the game. (I had an amiga 500 back in the day,,, I wasn't spending 30 quid on something that would not work very well on my machine.
@@infesticon Yes not really the best way to play the game but a lot of people didn't have an IBM PC back then so it was the next best thing.
I myself never owned an Amiga but I did have a loan of my friends on a few occasions but I never played Frontier on Amiga, I played it on PC in the late 90s as I had been playing some of the Wing Commander games and that series made me think of Elite.
The Amiga had a couple hundred great games and thousands of pieces of shovelware. My facts don't care about nostalgia.
No Rainbow Islands or Secret of Monkey Island? What do you have against Islands? 😁
Yeah strange that , it must be some sort of hate crime😋
I totally don't understand how Monkey can't be in ANY top 100 list... no matter how subjective your list is.
Considering Amiga Power magazine gave 'Rainbow Islands' no.1 in the 'top 100 amiga games of all time' in '91 I'm absolutely astounded it's not in top 100.
She probably didnt play it on the Amiga, that simple
Rainbow Islands is my No.1 game on the Amiga. A close to perfect arcade conversation
Hunter, Laser Sqaud, Paradroid 90, Gravity Force or Gravity Power - surprised not to see these feature. Otherwise awesome as I've come to expect from Kim Justice!
Some other games that I used to love: Pacmania, Giganoid, Turbo Cup, Virus, World Championship Boxing Manager, Xybots and Fire Power
I'm glad you mentioned Dune 1's amazing soundtrack. Truly is one of the best and most advanced use of Amiga's soundchip.
A great video for my favourite computer. Some surprising choices and some even more surprising omissions but then that's the thing with the Amiga, there are so many great games to choose from.
I don't think I would have had both Sensible Soccer and Sensible World Of Soccer on the list, just pick one (SWOS) and go with it.
Glaring omissions for me are Rainbow Islands, Hired Guns, Eye Of The Beholder 2, Flashback, Kick Off 2, UFO: Enemy Unknown, James Pond 2, Midwinter, F29 Retaliator, Monkey Island 2, North & South, F/A18 Interceptor, Battle Isle, Supremacy, MegaTraveller, Carrier Command, Simon The Sorcerer, Railroad Tycoon.
Still its nice to see Flood make the list, love that game.
Kim, you're a GEM of the retrogaming community! Awesome vid. Brings back such good feelings and memories!
Wow...530 a.m. just called in sick and heres a 2hr kim vid!
some great games missing (I think...) Troddlers, Flashback, The NewZealand Story, Prince of Persia, Batman the Movie, Another World, Fantasy World Dizzy, Hired Guns, The Sentinel, Mercenary, Carrier Command, UFO Enemy Unknown, Midnight Resistance, Hostages, Hunter, F18 Interceptor, Starglider 2
No Silkworm, Ninja Warriors, Desert Strike, Hudson Hawk....
No love for Ultima.
no hunter ? i will stop watching then. thanks
That is more of a personal favorites list, than top 100 of all time. There are some clear ommisions like UFO: Enemy Unknown, Pirates, Railroad Tycoon, Dune 2, Superfrog (top 10 Amiga game for me), Flashback, Another World, Body Blows Galactic, MK2, North & South... Also complete lack of classic point-and-click adventure games like both Monkey Island games, Simon the Sorcerer, Beneath a Steel Sky, Indiana Jones and Fate of the Atlantis, Lure of Temptress, Curse of Enchantia, Hook, Legend of Kyrandia, Gobliiiins games, Darkseed and Cruise for a Corpse. I personally would add games like Traps & Treasures, Lords of the Realm (one of the best strategy games on Amiga), Desert Strike, Zeewolf, Super Galaga, Colonization, Moonshine Racers, Genesia, Hired Guns or Eye of the Beholder series. I respect the choice of the author, it’s cool to see what games other people value. I just hope that if someone will look for cool Amiga games, he will also look in the comments section.
I remember going to Makro as a kid and just watching Shadow of the Beast demoing in the store and wondering how I'd be able to get one ....£399 in 1990 (that's £1,000 today). My mate had one and every time I went round I'd be sick with jealousy. It seemed like he'd had it for years before I got mine, his was the batman pack which was out in 1989. The Xmas I got my Amiga (1990 Flight of Fantasy pack) was like pure magic, I paid half towards it with some money that id inherited and I damn well got my money out of it. Xmas day I opened it and booted up Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters and revelled in the graphics. At lunch time my Nan came round and gave me Kick Off 2 which I probably clocked up years of playing time and my Aunt gave me Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road.
What a great time, take me the fuck back.
Now THIS is the kim 100 I've been waiting for!
Before SWOS there was Player Manager based on the Kick Off engine, great game. Kick Off 2 was awesome too once you mastered the controls.
SWOS the GOAT 🐐 awesome game and brilliant memories
Kim, on #67, Pro Tennis Tour 2 (I knew the game as Great Courts 2, I assume Pro Tennis Tour 2 is the UK name), you can control the characters as well as the shot. Having the computer controlling the characters is the default Easy mode. But I agree it's great, and I used to love how the female players skirts moved.
RuySan I wanted to say this about the control / easy mode too
The Amiga 500 was my first machine. Fond memories. It’s still the best format I’ve owned.
Highlander My first game was Defender of the Crown.. As soon as my dad ordered it I watched Sword & the Sorcerer in celebration! I’m surprised they made a movie in ode to It Came From the Desert
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I was an ST kid so only ever played on my mate's Amiga(s) and nostalgia makes me root for the former and gives me some of my warmest memories - but the Amiga's are some of my most beloved systems of all time and I recall fondly being obsessed with "It Came from the Desert" and "Lost Patrol" and both the RTS and point and click Dune games. Also the Amiga is responsible for a shocking amount of my first purchases when I got my first PC such as the Eye of the Beholder games, Syndicate and so on. Indeed a quick look at my GOG library confirms this - a good 70-80% of my games on there I came to by way of the Amiga or having played similar on same. It also indirectly got me into the UFO/Xcom games as my love for Syndicate saw me pick up a bundle box set that included both. I suppose I also would never have got into Warcraft 2 and Command & COnqquer etc if it weren't for Dune, and the Dig made me pick up Broken Sword and a lasting love of Lucasarts adventures.
So I will forever love the Amiga if for no other reason than it gave me loads of fun and more importantly informed my opinion and choices going forward and very much along with my first consoles made me the gamer I am today - not bad for a system I never even bloody owned!
It's interesting that Kim finds Amiga something like ZX Spectrum, only better. Because I have the same opinion - I believe the reason is because both computers relied on the mandatory hires (bitmap) graphics! Unlike C64! And with some well known games ZX tried to compete with Amiga, so there were decent ports to ZX after all. C64 had it much differently, and hires mode was avoided. ZX games sometimes had really nice monochrome graphics, and its BOBs could move decently smooth if coded well. Scroll was the problem also, but some games had smooth and fast scrolling too. Everything was done in purely software way. Sprites/blitter objects too. But those ZX games never shunned from moving nice looking graphics around, same as Amiga, despite being jerky and all.
When Amiga appeared, some features of the hardware reminded on C64 (sprites, raster control via copper), but some were similar to Speccy - bitmap mode, and blitter objects. Crucial thing - Amiga did it with ease, using chipset, full of colors and without attributes.
I like to think Amiga actually represented the synergy of C64 and ZX, raised on completely different level. It was ultimate 16 bit computer&console wonder in one package.
Awesome... and there's still so many other games out there that could easily make a top 100 list... UFO, Kick Off 2, Champ Manager, A-Train, Colonization, Railroad Tycoon, Guardian, Gloom, Rainbow Islands, New Zealand Story, Hired Guns, Captive, Liberation, Micro Machines, Gods, Frontier, North & South, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Fate of Atlantis, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flashback, F1GP... wow we were spoiled...
Exactly I mean games like boring looking balance of power is better than any of those games you mentioned 🙄😂 so many other great games missed out
@@AmigaFreak77 well why would you watch a list with the same top 100 as everyone else
End of the day this is kims list of her favorite amiga games not yours, and it would be a pretty boring video if you have all the obvious ones on it
I mean i could also put all of those games in my personal top 100 but the simple fact of the matter is ....its not usually the Amiga versions of them i am playing when i go back to them these days
And i would much rather that Wings (a game i love that i cant play on anything else) was on here rather than seing Monkey fecking Island for the 100th time (a game that had a better known and ...just better all round pc port)
many best games are missing : Xenon 2; Wings of Death; Full Contact; Magic Pockets; Seven Gates of Jambala; Lotus Turbo Challenge, etc...etc....!!
Ruff n Tumble is not a Rainbow Arts Title. Its made by Wunderkind ( Jason Perkins
, Robin Levy and Jason Page) and published by Renegade Software.
This is a video really close to my heart. I went from Spectrum to C64 and then Amiga (which will always be my favourite computer). Thanks for the hard work and wonderful content, Kim. You're an absolute joy and this is just heavenly!
Great video from Kim once again ! There were so many good games on A500 that u can't put all those great games in one list.
I would also recommend playing one of these :
- Monkey island
- Hired guns
- F1GP
- Utopia
- Operation stealth
- Lure of the temptress
- Another world
- Dune 2
- Defender of the crown
- Antheads
- Prince of Persia
- ATR
- Lost vikings
- Eye Of The Beholder 2
- Aquatic games
- Magic pockets
- Elvira I & II
- Voyages of discovery
Great to see love for Benefactor! A game that still holds up today, I replay it every few years.
Only a couple of days ago I was wondering where this list was and now it's appeared. Exactly the Kim Justice content I was looking for. Good work, thanks.
Really, really enjoyed this video, Kim! I like the attention you give to each video. You clearly spent time with each game and your massive knowledge of the developers and publishers really adds to my enjoyment. Thank you!!
Games missing: Starglider2, Midwinter, Breach, possibly Carrier Command, F117A Stealth Fighter, Rocket Ranger.
Also, there was a brilliant scifi version of Dungeon Master, where you were this guy trapped in a prison or something but you have a laptop that lets you remotely connect with four robots, which you then have to guide around dungeons, planets and prisons, to free you.
That'd be Captive. I watched my older brother complete it as a kid!
@@Amanojaku8 Brilliant - that's the one! 😊 Never completed it myself.
Now this I have been waiting for. Thanks a bunch Kim. I love this series.
Turrican I & II are chock full of secret areas & extra lives. It's worth exploring them all.
I know these videos take so long to produce . Thanks Kim , another brilliant list .
Some notable additions to a pretty good list...
Perihelion
Bubba n Stix
Kid Chaos
Vroom!
Barbarian
Hired Guns
Disposable Hero
Darkmere
Liberation:Captive 2
Crazy Cars 3
Hunter
The Lost Vikings
Agree, this video was great but a few of these others could have replaced things like the first Turrican (when 2 was included), Sensi Soccer (same as SWOS), Speedball 1 etc. Things like Another World or Flashback probably deserved a mention too, but it all goes to show what a great selection of games the Amiga had.
Absolutely amazing video, had to watch it over the course of 3 days because life gets in the way, but as someone from North America who has never known the pleasure of collecting for or even playing the Amiga, this gives me a lot of great info on what to look for.
Same here. Being from North America and born after the Amiga was discontinued, I'd never even heard about this computer until quite recently, but wow! It has some great games and wonderful music
been looking forward to this one Kim. 10/10
this is the one I’ve been waiting for. Great work
31:06 I'm noticing a recurring trend in Amiga games so far: it's apparently completely fucking impossible--IMPOSSIBLE--to hit an enemy without BEING hit by said enemy.
Syndicate was so atmospheric. Man I loved playing through that game, it was like 20+ hours of Bladerunner.
Brilliant top 100 Kim!
I'm really enjoying these retro top 100 videos lately, keep up the great work
Syndicate and colonisation my top two Amiga games
Congratulations on yet another fascinating video. I never owned this machine but I remember seeing most of these games in magazines or as conversations on other formats growing up. A brilliant trip down memory lane! Absolutely fantastic!!👍👍
Thanks Kim, this is therapy after a very very stressful day! your work always appreciated :)
I agree. Not including The Secret of Monkey Island is a CRIME. Also miss great classics like North & South, Wolfenstein, Persian Gulf Inferno, A Rockstar ate my Hamster, Super Cars 2.
My first ever computer... the Amiga 500+! Your list is pretty much spot on. Shadow of the beast, was one of those games I found magical and so dark! I remember having Nightmares about it but was always drawn back to it! The Amiga was so enchanting!
Love it when Deuteros gets a mention. One of my all time favourites, and worth sticking with.
Gets tasty once you explore new star systems.
So good to see love for Bill's Tomato Game and Lost Patrol. Both games I played when they first came out. I've spoken to very few folks who have heard of either. Amazing games. And, yes, that Lost Patrol music is one of the best. Great work Kim.
Got to love hearing the Battle Squadron sound track at the start of video. I've always loved that game and really loved the music, it's a masterpiece imo
I thought there would have been a Championship Manger in there some where as I preferred them to Premier Manager. Not sure if you’ve heard of Escape From Colditz but that is a a game. Spent so many hours on that. You really need to try it.
Hey Kim, just so you now Leander was developed by Traveller's Tales (Tt games) and published Psygnosis. I should know this because I work at TT games. LOL. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
Respect for Leander - that was awesome (I completed it without cheating at all!)
Superb research and editing on one of my fave machines of all time....
Fantastic video Kim and some incredible choices here!
Brilliant video. There's a lot on there I've never played. Looking forward to seeing weekend action.
Great video. Glad to see Stunt Racer getting some love!
I love your videos! My dad brought home an Amiga 1000 in the early 90s and being in Canada, had no friends to share my adventures with. :D
Absolutely brilliant great work Kim
I don't know how long this took, but thank you, it's awesome!
Always interesting to see people's favourites lists for games. I like the list although as a former Amiga owner myself I found myself nodding to some of your list and shaking my head at the omission of other games, but thats the fun of these lists. brought back lots of memories though for sure.
Love these vids they are thouroughly enjoyable i think for anyone that grew up and lived at the golden age of gaming.So many amazing games on the Legendary Amiga.
That was a great list! I only 2 years into the Amiga. Been looking for a list like this that wasn't based on the usual pics. Thanks!
Kim Justice attacks with NOSTALGIA.
It is SUPER EFFECTIVE.
Amiga Power championed Virocop at the time. Also, for Base Jumpers, you remember Amiga Format as having a demo on the coverdisk -- Amiga Power definitely had one and I played it a hundred times with my siblings, but it might have been on the cover of an AF issue too, so you might be right.
I'm reading scans of Amiga Power right now, I'm on around issue 9, and Stuart Campbell rated Scooby and Scrappy highly also. It's nice that licensed games can sometimes end up to be actually great.
SHADOW FIGHTER! Paraponzipopo.
Regarding modern pinball games, I can personally recommend Demon's Tilt on Steam. It's especially great in tate mode.
@@tomkrawec Amiga power definatly had a base jumpers demo, That's how I played it back in the day, But didn't have friends to play it with so the exsperiance was a bit lost on me.
Interesting to get a sense of what was good on the Amiga...
Sometimes I get the feeling gaming on the Amiga was held back by still using single-button joysticks by default, And Commodore's weird expectation that games support that.
Obviously it's a platform where keyboard+mouse is also viable, but still...
It really is easy to underestimate how much the control scheme for consoles and computers influences the complexity of the games that result.
There was nothing stopping the C64 or Atari 8 bit computers from getting games comparable to the most complex titles for the NES...
But having a 1 button controller instead of 4 buttons really makes that so much harder to implement.
For that matter, NES and SNES games vary in complexity as much because of the controller as anything else about the systems...
And the n64 definitely taught us how painful 3d games are when you don't have any analogue controls... (as most early Playstation and Saturn games did not. Although the dual analogue controller showed up to the playstation surprisingly early, it took a long time for games to catch up)
Controls dictate plausible complexity.
And the Amiga shows us how bad this can get, given it could easily keep up with later 16 bit systems in most regards, but still the games tended to often be more simplistic.
(except of course that went the opposite way and took the same approach PC gaming did; where the only thing you could rely on anyone owning was a keyboard, and later on a mouse...)
C64 and Amiga games were at times infinitely more complex than the most complex 8 and 16bit console games. They have writable media, keyboards and a mouse.
Why would a computer restrict itself to the simple input methods of a console when they have much more variety in options?
Not to mention the fact you can use joysticks or joypads withmultiple buttons if you want to anyway.
That similarity to the C64 I had was what put me off wanting an Amiga. After years on the C64, I was so envious of my mates and their consoles, with their cool graphics, control pads and instant load times that I asked for a Megadrive for Christmas instead. In retrospect, I think I'd have preferred what the Amiga had to offer, but the allure of console land was way too much at the time.
The default assumptions of the platform DO matter.
Multi-button joysticks and joypads don't matter if nobody supports it.
Same with other unusual input devices.
I have very high quality motion controllers for PC - Razer Hydra - at the time what they were capable of easily beat what the consoles were doing.
But... It didn't matter, because... How many games properly supported this? Basically none.
Motion controls on the Wii vs PS Move are the same issue. PS move is technically superior, yet nobody used it.
Amiga games to me demonstrate two extremes - PC like complexity with mouse + keyboard
or extremely simplified logic owing to Commodore's demand that a Single-button joystick is usable.
There doesn't seem to be much middle ground, which is what the consoles occupied.
The control OPTIONS a platform provides, are considerably less significant in practice than the control DEFAULTS.
How many PC games properly supported joysticks?
Why were almost all of them built around the use of a mouse + keyboard combo even when this clearly wasn't the best choice for the given genre?
Defaults matter. And they matter more than what's technically possible.
(Did you know the Famicom has a keyboard accessory? And the Wii, PS2, PS3, Wii U, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, and switch ALL support the use of keyboards? - how many games do you know of on these systems that make effective use of this fact, hmmh? Yeah... exactly.)
Pretty much spot on as usual, this is why you are one of my favourite youtubers!
Spot on, with the info given? Too many inaccuracies as far as I'm concerned.
With the A500 mini system coming out soon this list is much appreciated! I never owned or even played an Amiga but I've always wanted one and now I will be able to get the mini console so I can try out some of the Amiga's huge library of software for a reasonable price. And when I do get one I will be going through this list and trying out all the games that look fun. So thank you Kim for making it and also including gameplay footage and a description of every single game!
Pleasantly surprised to see Rod Land mentioned.
Great video, happy to watch this just before the A500 mini is out. I was an Amiga 500 kid and quite a few of these I don't remember, mainly the higher numbers. I just hope games are easy to get and copy over to the Amiga mini
I never had an Amiga (Or Spectrum) growing up as I came into gaming during Sega's rise but I love watching your videos about them, Always fascinated with consoles I missed out on.
Thank you very much for this Kim! I adore your 100 games series! :D I had an Amiga 500 as a teen and I'm in the dysfunctional USA ha. I just used it to write my own made up video game music with a freeware program called MED. There was an OCTAMED but my 500 was too weak to run it. I didn't have many games coz they were almost impossible to get here. Everything was mail order! Eye of the Beholder 2 was about all I had along with Defender of the Crown. Amiga games are fascinating I wish I could have played so many more! Cheers!
We're long overdue a stream Kim! :)
Thanks man for making this list! Great video! Alot of good stuff here to test out!
I loved my Amiga 1200. Still got 3 of them today. My best game for the Amiga 1200 was Amber star. This game came to me in a big box set. The game itself was on two floppy disks and took me two years to complete the game. I would love to own this game again complete with its big box.
I would have thought R-Type would have placed in there somewhere. Did I miss it? The Amiga port was spot on. Also noticed by their absence was the Sierra adventure games, and PowerMonger.
Music was brilliant too.
Great list, great way to spend my evening, thanks!
Man I love these videos. also this man has a fantastic voice very entertaining personality well done!!:D
My first love for Amiga games and my Amiga 500 I bought used from my classmate's older brother was Cannon Fodder, Jumping Jackson, The Chaos Engine, Stunt Car Racer and Sensible world of football, I refuse to call that sport soccer to appease the only country in the world that calls football soccer. I'm surprised Jumping Jackson didn't make your top 100. Thank you for your videos, every now and then I'll binge watch 2 or 3 of your videos that take up my whole evening before I realize 😆🙂
Another great Kim Justice vid; my only niggle (micro niggle that is) - I would have loved to hear some of that awesome Amiga music, especially as you include it as part of your reviews. Love your videos, hope you keep them coming- Cheers and thanks!
Great video as always - very entertaining Kim
/me off to get an Amiga Emulator up and running - always wanted the original machine as a kid !
I love your Docs, nothing like it on the internet as far as I know
I only just got into emulating the amiga on my hackintosh.
This will help sort the whey from the chaff, thanks Kim!
Cheers for putting the time in Kim, i totally forgot about Ultimate Football Manager and Premier Manager.
Where was Barbarian, Panza Kick Boxing and Championship Manager chap?
No Barbarian? Tsk tsk
Syndicate was years and years ahead. What an awesome game.
This is an awesome list. I plan to play every one once I get my A500 set up again in a month :)
Thanks for taking the time to actually comment on the games. It made a much more fun watch than most of these lists
wow... what a great List ! Thank you very much !
Another fantastic video Kim 😀 I had an ST rather than Amiga when I was younger and had some of these games for that. Have recently been donated an Amiga 1200 though by a colleague who knows I'm into retro computers so hopefully will get a few more of these in time 😀
Now here is the list I have been waiting for.
Doesn't tend to get mentioned much, but I also really liked Historyline 1914-1918, by BlueByte software.
A great game and a history lesson, all in one.
Worth a look if you like turn based strategy games (based on the Battle Isle engine).
History Line was a great game. I spent hours and hours with it...my old love.
Difficult to play
Watching this while doin' some piano practice (boogie-woogie) nodding in appreciation when you got to Deflektor and went on a half-dive into it's music. Amiga music is wonderful.
Loaded up Bill’s Tomato Game on the Genesis... It’s great! Quite addictive. Thanks for the tip!
Now I got to play all of these games from 100 to 1 👍 . Brilliant video 👍
Fun video, you´ve made me want to try Qwak out. I have it on the Alien Breed SE CD, so thanks for waking me up!
Also, Skidmarks most definitely had an official release... I bought it after the demo from Amiga Format.
Super skid marks 2. Remember buying it from wh smiths with my chrimbo money 🙂
QUACK!, forgot about that one. Had it on my Amiga, LOVED it. It was in those mini-type boxes that some Team17 games came in for a bit.
that intro releases a tiny little dopamine hit everytime is plays - just glorious
Holy smokes. I am so ready for this. LOVE the Amiga (:
Great Holiday video. Have Happy New Year

One thing I will never forget about SWOS was a player called Diego Fuser. I think he played at either Lazio or Napoli and as a starting player he was crap, but if you bring him on as a sub he is like the best player in the game. The ball almost sticks to his foot, he's super fast. Once I figured that out (by accident) I had him in every team I player managed. Brilliant game.
I actually owned the Amiga 600 and for whatever reason it couldn't do certain colours. Like I could never played certain weather pitches in SWOS as the screen would freak out and go all blue. Surprised to not see any Lucas Arts point & click games in there or were they not your cup o' tea?
Which swos version?
