[Blake]

I am amazed at how beautiful those games were.
I had an incredible childhood/early teenage years.

[jonny_kung]

No Rick Dangerous?! Eye of the Beholder 2 takes the cake for me. I remember my grandad buying this in our local store and me and him up for hours playing this. So many great memories and the game itself was absolutely fantastic and ahead of it's time.

[trinsan]

Probably one of the best walkthroughs of Amiga 500 games.

This walkthrough remembers all the genres, be it IK+, Populous, Super Cars, Rainbow Island and Pinball Dreams. And even pays tribute to Shadow the Beast that introduced so many graphiic innovations.

So many games in this video that I’ve enjoyed. Perfect!

[benfinesilver]

Thank you. You brought back memories of my childhood.

[hansolo]

Thank you for that walk down memory lane. I loved playing Amiga as a child/ young teen in the early 90s, and Moonstone was maybe my favourite. - It was so brutal and fun to play!

[AnonyMooseUK]

This brings back so many memories. So many hours spent on these.

[carlosfandango]

Great selection but a few I would have included - No Second Prize, Nitro, Knights of the Sky, Robocop III, Indy 500, Buggy Boy, SWIV, Pinball Dreams (Knightmare Table), Skidmarks, Alien Breed, Epic, Super Hangon, Silent

[TheRealGurney]

I remember BEGGING my parents for an Amiga 500 mid 90’s, I wrote Amiga on 100’s of bits of paper and stuck them all over my bedroom walls. It was a big deal and I was very lucky as we weren’t a wealthy family and they weren’t cheap either. Lemmings was my absolute favourite but pinball dreams was also up there for me. A mouse was soooo novelty then with its rubber ball that got all gummed up. Great memories, my god we’ve come far since but life was good. 😊

[robertdaone]

Everything that CinemaWare made really showcased the Amiga's campabilities!

[JohnnyPope]

the absolute BEST age of computing - what a time to have lived!! Had all of those games bar 3. The Amiga was my absolute fav computer!!!

[MarkOakleyComics]

For me the Amiga's most amazing game was the original *Dungeon Master.*

Half the fun was just being in thrall of the state of the art; no other platform had a game anywhere nearly as cool or advanced as Dungeon Master. It revolutionized the 3D adventure genre with design ideas nobody had thought of before. The seamless game play, solid level design and the stereo sound effects made it feel like you were actually deep underground. I'd never experienced anything like that before!

I can understand why you left it off the list; there were some good rip-offs which came later and pushed the envelope further, but for me, nothing beats the romance of the first time.

You missed out a lot of the Best and Amiga unique! Where Ambermoon - where Battle Isle or History Line - where Burntime - where MAD TV - where Goblins??? Criminal!
