Excellent list , mate ! I’ve not played Hybris and Wings of death , but I can vouch for the other eight masterpieces. My favourite is impossible to pick. But Apidya , Project X and SWIV are my top contenders.
Yeah decent enough list some of these. I personally would have placed Project X last though. To be fair although the Amiga was and continues to be amazing, it wasn't home to the best shooters when compared to console but I do particularly like how they felt on the Amiga. It did have some nice shooters though and Battle Squadren, Hybris, Apidya being my personal faves. Although very different to a full on shooter, Datastorm remains one of my very favourite Defender clones and I'd advise people try it
@@owenfitzgerald8944i used the word schmup in a reply to you, its an abbreviation of shoot em up, why are you telling me what i already demonstrated that i know 😅 you amaze sometimes owen. Anyway, shoot em up - Shoot 'em ups are a subgenre of action game. These games are usually viewed from a top-down or side-view perspective, and players must use ranged weapons to take action at a distance. The player's avatar is typically a vehicle or spacecraft under constant attack. Thus, the player's goal is to shoot as quickly as possible at anything that moves or threatens them to reach the end of the level with a boss battle.[10]
Great list! Apidya is still my favourite shooter on the Amiga :) Got to love that awesome Chris Huelsbeck soundtrack :)
Each and every game listed here have been my favourites since 80s-90s. You gave me an idea how to waste this day! \,,/
I’m going through these now as I never had the system back in the day, the music in some of these games is amazing. Nice one.
Really enjoyed it & brought back a lot of great memories

Great selection!
looking forward to more in this series. I only ever played a couple of Amiga games, but they were PC ports.

Agony, Apidya and Wings of Death seems to be games I should definetely give a try...thanks, man.🤘
Apidya was such a big game back in the early 90's, all my mates were crazy about it
Never heard if it, I'm afraid. I was a Nintendo child😅
But now that I know it I'll give it a try.
The Original Xenon... change between tank and Airplane!
I still have my Amiga 500 and 3000 in the closet.
Ah good aul project x
Dodgy Burger, the Black Metal Burglars 😂
No Alien Breed, no Turrican, no 3D Shoot 'Em Ups 🤔
I like Project-X and Banshee.
They're shooters but not schmups
@@cruachankeithNot according to Lemon Amiga 😉 (The Bible)
@@owenfitzgerald8944aliien breed and turrican are not shoot em ups, simple as that 😉
I'll agree to disagree. The magazines and The Bible (Lemon Amiga) say otherwise 😉
(And "Shmup" is another way of saying Shoot 'Em Up)
