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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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 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!
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?
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.
lol how long did it take you to work out the order you would place all these in??? and also I just flicked through it so forgive me if I skipped it but......... where the FUCK is Shadof of the Beast?
Good question. I've actually been sitting on this for a while. I looked at a list of ALL the Amiga games and picked out the 100 games that I thought had to be included. Then I rated each game with a score of 1-100. If two games had the same rating, i rated one of the up and one down. This is how this list came about. Definitely 3-4 hours just for this list. And Shodow of the Beast: I never liked the gameplay and especially the graphic style of Shadow of the Beast. I'm sorry.
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. 😂
