There will never be a 100 fave xbox one or ps4 list. I miss my old c64 and am500. All those games were great, had great graphics and cool music. Thnx for posting some good old memories!
My childhood relived! Im 12 years old again. for me, Monkey Island 1+2, Body Blows, Shadow of the Beast and Populous 2. And so much more... Rainbow Islands, New Zealand Story, Shadow of the Beast, Lemmings... North and South..... :) :) :) Many thanks for the upload. :) seriously...
This is probably my favorite Amiga game list, at least partly because it's the one I agree with the most. Also, I like that your clips aren't long and drawn out: nothing worst than watching five minutes from a game that you think sucks. Thanks for your efforts here.
#72 Ah Street Rod, one of my favorite games. Admittedly I only first played it around 2000-2001 but I loved it. I was playing it on PC at the time. When I learned it was on Amiga and saw those screenshots I was amazed how much better it looked. I immediately fired up an Amiga emulator to play it!
I love this list!!! You've included so many games I thought were amazing that I haven't seen on other lists. Panza Kickboxing was incredible. I till remember the fact that you could assign the moves to joystick direction. I'd never seen that before. Still one of the most pleasurable martial arts games along with IK+ I have ever played.
If you happen to not know the game, this seems confusing. It has multiple modes, including two ski modes, that half-pipe snowboarding, tube sliding and yeeting snow balls at others :)
I was more into demos than games on the Amiga; Your 40th is on my 1st. I loved the C64 for games. The Amiga games that really stood out to me was point and click ones.
Awesome graphics. I was born in 1980 and the first time I played a game was in 1988. And still playing games to this day. Trying my absolute hardest to get as much retro gear as possible. Yesterday I got a PSP with Wipeout Pure and Medal of Honor Heroes. Last week I got a PS2 with GTA: San Andreas, Max Payne, and Socom: US Navy Seals. GTA and Max Payne didn't work so I gave them back, but I have to say that I'm loving Socom. You can do so much. You can crouch, lean, command two teams, change the firing modes on your main weapon. It's properly tactical. They don't make shooters like that any more. Soon I'll have most of the retro consoles from the last 2 decades and hopefully this system too. And doesn't else hear the theme music for Assault on Precint 13 in the game Xenon 2 Megablast? Game number is 73.
My favourite Amiga games where: GODS, Chaos Engine, Toki, Rainbow Island, Pang, New Zealand Story, Kick Off 2, Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, F29 Retaliator, Silent Service 2, Superfrog, PGA Tour Golf, the entire Alien Breed collection, the Dizzy games, R-Type, Mortal Kombat 1, Street Fighter 2, Speedball 2, Future Basketball, Final Fight... can't think of anymore!
Earl Weaver Baseball, Three Stooges, M1 Tank Platoon, Faery Tale Adventure, North & South, TV Sports Baseball and TV Basketball, It Came from the Desert among others would've been on my list. Basically I stuck with Cinemaware, EA, and Microprose games as my favorites with my Amiga 500.
Wow. I had forgotten about so many of these games. Great list that is not too different from what I used to play around 1990. Thanks a lot for putting it together 👌
The Hostages theme music will forever be etched in my mind. I catch myself regularly humming the theme even though I haven't played it in 30 years. So memorable.
Excellent list, as always with these things, they are subjective. I got an Amiga late in its life to play Championship manager and I had no idea of the true ability of the system until now. Some really impressive games on the system and games I didnt realise had even been ported.
Great games ! I would add Hired guns, Indy heat, Superfrog, Bubble Bobble, Project X, Lotus 3, Yo Joe!, Sensible world of soccer, Dune II, Eye of The Beholder 1 + 2, Settlers, The manager, Premiere, Mortal Kombat 1 + 2, Street Fighter 2, Final fight, Final blow, TV sports: Basketball, Syndicate, Secret of the Monkey island, Maupiti island, Murder, Crime time, Cruise for a corpse, Magic pockets, Indiana Jones and the Last crusade, Operation Stealth, Formula 1 Grand Prix, Utopia and Agony to the list.
shit you had the exact taste in games as me ! lol but id have to add populous megalomania,Powermonger, AlienBreed ,Another World , panza kickboxing , supercars 2 ...... syndicate what a fucking game that was amazing!
Excellent vid. I love having these things on in the corner while I'm working. Also appreciated the fact that you stated that you know there are classics missing, but that these are games you actually played :)
Vilken toppenlista! Var för liten för Amiga, började som så många åttiotalsbarn med NES, men som man åldras förädlas musiksmaken och Amigamusik är ju det bästa sedan rostat bröd! Tack för tipsen! Och ja, jag antar väl bara att du är svensk bäste herr Sundström 😁
Awesome list! You just reminded me about Aquatic Games, Dogs of War, Hostages, James Pond 1 (thought I only played 2), Panza Kickboxing, Persian Gulf Inferno and Wings of Fury.
Bard's Tale II - Destiny Knight, Fate - Gates of Dawn, Ambermoon, Elite, Popolous, Syndicate, Bionic Commando, Star Glider 1 + 2, Take Them Out, Mission Impossible, Kick Off 2, Sensible World of Soccer, Turrican II, Superstar Ice Hockey, Chambers of Shaolin, F16-Falcon, Gunship, X-Out, etc.... so many good Amiga games (or adaptiations from C64).
Yeez, had all forgotten about those self combusting indjuns 😄 One of the best lists I’ve seen; so many forgotten awesome games, yet there were so many others as well. But also great looking games I had never heard of.
Thank you! There are so many entries i played but forgot.That Arabian Nights let me pondering because it's a technical very good title i didn't know. At the time we were all in the scene and looked at hundreds of the games.. great collection and i see there are so many more, everybody had his experiences, but many matches to my favorites!
Thanks for the memories :) The Amiga had an amazing soundchip. One of my favorites was BC Kid, or PC Kid as it's known in Japan, or Bonk as it's known in the west lol. Great list :)
wow I missed out on some great games back then. I had about 100 games total; watching yours reminded me of great memories playing Street Rod 2, Pang, Type-R, Loopz, Lemmings, Ishido, Crazy Cars 3 and Super Cars 2. My absolute favorites were Disc and Silkworm 4, for Silkworm I had the first 80% or so of the game memorized, a playthrough took like an hour before I got to the part where it was hard/new. Another World looked amazing for what we had at the time, wow.
Thanks for this video. Here in México I don't remember heard about Amiga. Back in the day I just knew some info because my grandma bought me some foreigner magazines.
My fave gaming/computer system off all time. So many classic and innovative games came out on the Amiga. Way ahead of it's time in my opinion. Great vid by the way ;-)
Keep in mind: 16bit system, first home computer that supported multitasking desktop, first one that offered CD-Rom, legendary Motorola 68000 chip, AmigaOS has been inspiration to Linux Kernel and so on and so on... Waaaaay ahead of its time, waaaaay ahead...
Ah so many games of this list I remember having played on the Amiga, or conversions on consoles (often inferior of course). It is tempting to get an Amiga again but these days there are alternative ways of playing Amiga games, and so many new games as well.
TheDutchGhost There's no real reason besides nostalgia to get the actual Amiga 500. (I have two and much rather play it emulated than the crappy mouse and my cheap plastic joysticks.)
First off all why on earth is *Panza Kick boxing* so low , that game was definitely a top 20 game , my favourites were - *Populous 1-2(my fav) , Megalomania , Power Monger , Another World , Super Cars 2 , Syndicate , Celtic Legends , Moonstone! , Betrayal , Castles , Alien Breed! , Chuck Rock , Rainbow 6, Bubble Bobble (loved that game) , R-Type , Lemmings, Prince of persia , Indiana Jones , Narc , Turrican 1&2* I think I could go on... Amiga in my opinion was the most fun I've ever had for video games was just amazing and unique ! and made my childhood that extra special!
This was so much fun to watch because I had most of these games! Including some that I had completely forgotten. I guess from his name that the poster is from Sweden, like me, and maybe that’s why I recognized so many of the games. I guess they appeared on the Swedish piracy circles… But yeah. So many old memories. 😊👍🏻
An awesome trip down memory lane, that said I do still play my AMIGA, nice to see Goal! placed so high, and there are a few titles here that I definitely need to check out as we have similar taste in games.
9ElevenGamer Good to hear! I know the list might seem controversial, but I can definetely recommend the games on the list. I'm sure I'll have to make a "Top ten games I forgot" someday.
Shame Midnight Resistance, Humans, Smash T.V, The Lost Vikings & Soccer kid wasn't on the list. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I've still got my Amiga 500 & 1200 in the loft.
Nick Hough Yeah I know. Those were all games I wish I had access to. I never knew of midnight resistance except that it's supposed to be an awesome late c64 game.
Xenon 2 and Turrican! Holy shit I am glad I found your video. I wish I could find the other game I'm looking for. You're going through some light maze levels with goldish walls and a purple back ground. One of the enemies is sort of jittery because it is constantly moving at you and bounces off walls.
Thank you.There are so many great games, so It s not easy to chose. I remember Agony, Apydia, Killing Game show, Nitro, Jim.Power, project x, Leander, Toki, Vrooom, Fire and Forger 2, Yo Joe, Batman, Ninja Warriors, Dragon Ninja, Overlander, Jaguar xj 220, Battle Squadron 2, silkworm, Swiv,.F29.retaliator, océan Beach Volley, sensible soccer, kick off 2, R-Type, Switchblade, Alien Breed, Driving Force, Unreal (so beautyful).. And so on... Amiga was an awesome computer
Great list but my favourite games of all time ever on any console are the secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2. I will play them for the rest of my life I love them so much.
I once had both original anti-piracy spin disks with ''dial-a-pirate'' for MI1 and something with ''mix & mojo voodoo ingredients'' for MI2. I lost the ''voodoo'' one for MI2 and I still cry about it before I go to sleep sometimes ;)
@@danthreepwood2760 i played them both to death on the pc back in the day, my olivetti 8086 but it did have a nice VGA monitor. was the amiga version much different?
We all do. But now we have a choice of buying overpriced ancient hardware that will most likely not last long, or emulate it on pc's. Thats not what i want, i want a brand new amiga that does not have a $1000 pricetag, and runs amiga500 games without any bs.
It's the sounds that trigger the memory the most like when the marble smashes , audio sfx in God's, games that I don't really remember bit recognise the FAX, I remember visuals like James pond and lotus turbo challenge
hmm not all are good most of the amiga games have only music Or Fx not both at the same time and most Games have crappy horrible controls Omg! nightmares !
You're welcome :) The Amiga sure was impressive back in the day. If you look at the competition when it was popular, you might even say it was the best. If you feel like trying it out there's a great emulator called WinUAE, or simply buy one. Still quite cheap.
+Erik Sundstrom yeah I know still have an amiga 500 hooked up till today used it yesterday but I mean 1 meg ram still was not enough for most programmers to use music and fx at the same time. There are so many bad arcade conversions on the amiga only lazy ports of the atari st games ported over by the crappy US Gold. The Amiga can do so much better if used wisely and correctly in assembler language look at the turrican games as example!
It's a really great video because it shows that on the Amiga catalogue, as in every gaming catalogue, there was also a lot of cheap exploit and a lot of weirdness. I didn't know many of these and Persian Gulf Inferno looks like proper stuff from nightmares
Also it shows the Amiga as that middle stop between the 8 bit era design and the more polished design that came in the 90s (Another World, Prince of Persia)
