Top 3 Amiga Games ?

[FOL]

The Shadow Of The Beast series were, offhand, the best I knew of all around.

For some reason, I liked Crazy Cars II for it's simplicty....
..Wide open highway, real maps of Nevada and New Mexico, a F-40, and a cop chasing you.

Yeh Crazy Cars 2 was abit confusing, as it was also named F40 Pursuit Simulator. I done a RISS State for it in downloads, if you havent already got it,

Accesories like a Hard Drive doesn't count because this is about the system with the best games for it. 

doesnt count???  who made you the "rule-master"!  lmao

A4000 had an HD out the box, and is essentially an a1200 in many respects so i guess i'd pick that.

but i still say an A1200 with HD is the best gaming amiga available!


at the time, the best would have been the original kickstart 1.3 A500 imho, if you want to be pedantic

@ DC - OctaMED rocks. Thanks to that baby i'm now a qualified audio-engineer and producer!

I am heavily biased towards footy games which make up my top 3

SWOS
Kick Off 2
Premier Manager


Non Footy

RoboCod (James Pond 2)
Lotus III
Rainbow Islands


But there are many more, I've yet to find a machine that matches the Amiga for sheer playability in its games

I prefered Kick Off 2 to SWOS back in the day!  ...I used to have quite regular competitions with my fellow Amiga chums. 

Another footie game I used to love was Microprose Soccer... sure it wasn't as good as Kick Off - but bending unrealistic banana shots into the net was fun.

I = Shadow of the Beast
II = The Chaos Engine
III = Turrican II (shares this place with a LOT of other games, though )

Everyone has different tastes of course but for me a game that takes weeks to complete, and keeps you hooked throughout scores highly, especially when you consider a few floppy disks to hold such a task, rather than a whole DVD! (like todays releases on ps3, xbox360)

with that in mind:

1. Dungeon Master
2. Captive
3. Eye of the Beholder II

[Juganawt]

hmmm top 3 eh? Sure we can't put it to top 30? Hell, even that'd be too hard...
...top 300 perhaps?

I think I'll go with:

Frontier: Elite II
Speedball II
Last Ninja Remix

I agree its to hard to choose, .

[chip5541]

So many great games, how can you choose 3?

At the moment I would probably choose

Putty
Turrican II
Hired Guns

although, depending on my mood, that could change because I still find myself playing Lemmings, Alien Breed series, Rainbow Islands, Furry of the Furries, Heimdall and so many others. Heck even the mediocre games are pretty fun and could end up on my list depending again on my mood.

Hello chip 

Glad you jumped in on such a difficult subject!

maybe it would be more appropiate to pick a favorite for each genre:

shoot-em up: Menace, project X, Xenon Xenon II 
RPG - Dungeon Master or captive
Platform - Gods or Barbarian (Psygnosis)
Sport - Speedball II
Simulator - Silent service II and F-29 Retaliator
Racing - All terrain racing
Arcade-Retro - Super space invaders
Puzzle - Chips challenge

[Hungry Horace]

pah! here's a better list of recommendations

shoot-em up: Xenon II  / Cybernoid
RPG - Bloodwych / Legend
Platform - New Zealand Story / Robocod
Sport - SWOS / Pinball Dreams
Simulator -F18 Interceptor / Fronter: Elite II
Racing - Indy Heat, Supercars 2, Lotus 2
Arcade-Retro - Attack of the Green Smelly Aliens from Planet 27b/6 / Llamatron / Deluxe Pacman
Puzzle - Super Foul Egg / The Power / Troddlers
God - MegaLoMania / Settlers

[delta191]
