Fun fact about the connection with Lemmings and Walker, the Lemming walking sprite was originally built as a test to see if a person could walk convincingly in under 16x16 pixels, which it turns out could be done in 8x8. This walking sprite (which one of the animators got bored and started putting their new little walking dude into traps and... well there's Lemmings) was being made as part of the design process for Walker. So Lemmings was born out of Walker's design process. DMA were such geniuses back then, as they still are as R* North.
Wot?!? No mention of the stonkin' music in the Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions?!? The "Graveyard" table was a firm musical favourite. Yes, I recorded it on cassette. Yes, I re-recorded it to WAV. Yes, I converted it to MP3. Yes, it's still on my playlist.
Pinball dreams title music is my go to music to show off the amigas sound capabilities.. it is just... fucking glorious and quite incredible that a sound chip made in the 80s for the home computer market was capable of it!
Black Crypt was one of my favorite games on the Amiga. Ground breaking and atmospheric, it took the maze games like Wizardry to the next level with creatures that moved and pursued you. Syndicate definitely was one of the best. I also loved Populous I and II and Papyrus F1GP. My brother played the hell out of TV Sports basketball as it was one of the few games the actually kept track of stats. The system was well ahead of it's time.
2:20 Pinball Dreams... oh boy I spend a lot of time playing it. I can't remember how I did it, but I made an extra mouse port, so that I could use the mouse buttons for the flippers, because the Amiga itself were placed on a shelf out of easy reach. Good memories indeed.
I would say Disposable Hero was my Amiga game. never once beat it in my childhood but I played it so much and had tons of fun with it and was just one of those games that really showed how beautiful and detailed a game could be on the Amiga! And the music, oh the music. So weird and freaky and just... Mmff!
Great videos. Thanks for the nostalgia. Roadkill is the game I tend to associate most with the Amiga, along with Sleepwalker. There was an amazing shareware game I used to love too, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. I'd forgotten about several of these games, including (somehow) Stunt Car Racer, and it's nice to be reminded of the years of fun I had playing on that incredible system. The Cannon Fodder and Superfrog music will forever be tattooed onto my soul.
Great list. The one game i am missing is the PVP fun of "North & South". For years at every family gathering my cousins said "Can we play North ge South" (Yes they didn't speak english at the time and for some reason thought the game was named "North ge South". Probalby the & wasn't quite clear in the bitmap graphics. Anyway, that is one of the games i associate most with my Amiga 500.
Im so glad you put super cars 2 on the list, placing a mine under a bridge for your friend to run into never got old. A few honourable titles if i may wing commander, falcon 4, great giana sisters, it came from the desert, tv sports football, another world, sword of sodan omg so many. Anyway great vids really takes me back.
3 brilliant videos. Looked like an astonishing amount of work went into them, thanks for that. The way you described Supercars at the end was how I felt about Sensi World. 4 of us used to have mini tournaments over at a mates place during lunchbreak with the winner always being the same person because he could score some diagonal hoof cross header diagonal goal that the rest of us couldn't do. Good times! Couple of games that also stood out for me were Dune 2 and Battle Isle (I can still hear the music....). I also had Shuttle, a real life NASA thing where you took the rocket out of the hanger, down the runway, went through lanch...er...stuff...with buttons. Lots of buttons. So many buttons that the game came with a vast poster with the control panels on them for you to locate everything. My only problem is that I couldn't ever figure out a way of turning off the realtime gameplay. And the journey from the hanger to the launch pad took something like 2 days. I gave up after 20 minutes and never played it again. On the upside, I have a mint condition Shuttle simulator. On the Amiga. Which apparently, nobody wants.
Loved all the games in your list, haven't played only a couple of them. I wanna jump in the nostalgia wagon too and mention Dune, Civ 1, Pirates, Deuteros, UFO Enemy Unknown
Thanks for these videos. I've always been curious about those little machines across the pond. Reminds me of the nostalgia I have for the old DOS games I grew up with.
16:26 - if you have never played Dynablaster in 5-player mode then you haven't lived. It is absolutely brilliant. The sound of all those joysticks creaking and the teaming-up of people who then try to kill each other.... oh man I wish I had filmed some of those times. It's been 20 years now but I still remember it so clearly.
No Dungeon Master best played with lights off and headphones, you could hear the mummies before you got to them and they still scared the crap out of you when you turned the corner. Another classic would be Arkanoid. Other games I enjoyed were Street Rod, Detroit, Railroad Tycoon, Space Quest, plus many of the games you mentioned.
A great selection, think I may be a little bit older than you so the platformers didn't mean a great deal. Would've probably mentioned Indy 500 and F1GP but then I still play driving sims now! Great work and commentary, keep it up.
Thank you @Bransfield! I've had a craving to play walker since I was a kid. I really love that game from the moment I first played it (7yo) and I've never been able to remember the games name! I know what I'll be doing after work :D
I had an Amiga growing up, but apparently we didn't have any of the best games for it. We had a demo version of Worms that I still played a ton of, even though it didn't allow access to any good weapons (I became an excellent shot with the rocket launcher), and I think we borrowed Speedball from a friend, because I remember it, but only a little bit. The games that were memorable for me were Bard's Tale I and II, and Rocket Ranger.
Great selection. I can tell you were 'there'. For me - Syndicate, Dune II, Settlers, Stunt Car Racer, F1GP, Indy 500, Knights of the Sky, Gunship 2000, Nitro, Super Skidmarks, Buggy Boy, Lotus II, Pinball Dreams (Nightmare Table), Alien Breed, Robocop III, SWIV, No Second Prize, Walker, Lemmings, Dynablaster, Leaderboard Golf, Cannon Fodder, .............. and the list goes on. Shame I sold my Amiga 1200 Hard drive setup when I got into PS1 gaming but......
I am that odd case who has had access to an amiga in some form for most of my life and yet i've NEVER played a monkey island game... Then again, the amiga stuff I played back in the day (and still do, but through emulation mainly) are the more arcade-y stuff like speedball 2, chaos engine and rainbow island.
wow mate you gave me the old video game feels, speedball 2 lol thought I was the only one left in the world who remembers this. stunt car, cannon fodder, mega lo mania, moonstone, walker, syndicate, great videos bro xcopy was awesome
There already is an amiga classic and has been for many years; amiga has been emulated perfectly (even better-than-amiga with being able to map custom keybinds so you don't have to have up as jump and some controls on a joystick and some on a keyboard, you just map everything to a modern pad and it just works). You can speed up and automate most of the disk swapping nightmare or get rid of it by emulating a harddrive for supported games. Save anywhere you want. It's great.
@@soylentgreenb oh? but you mean an emulator on PC or raspberry pi, right? I never seem to completely figure out how they work properly. I´m a bit of a f### up when it comes to computers so the NES classic, SNES classic, C64 mini and even pandoras box is something i´m really happy with. But IF there already is a plug n´play Amiga out there I would love if you would send a link to it :)
@@soylentgreenb Thanks. I still have my raspberry somewhere. perhaps i will give it another shot with FS-UAE , even though people also said that a raspberry pi was easy:) man.. But thank you!
@@DonRR97 You can just install it on your computer. If you insist on using raspberry pi I guess it should be available as a "core" for retroarch/retropi.
Amiga Power had a bit of a fued with Team 17, always giving their games low scores, to the point Team 17 took them to court over it. I did a video on it last year :D
There were some games on the amiga that were bizzarely ahead of their time, showing the future potential of gaming while not being that great games themselves. Elite II was one of them; but space had been done before, even on older machine like the C64. I'm mainly thinking of midwinter (open world, first person), hunter (open world with vehicles, third person shooter/simulation thing) and stuntcar (that one was genuinely fun though). That was for me the lead up to what I would call the first immersive game ever made, Ultima underworld, on the PC a couple of years later (didn't play it until 1994, was dimly aware of it in 1993). This game took those little glimpses of brilliance I had seen on the amiga and made that promise real for the first time. Gameplay hasn't really improved much since this game in 1992; controls are better, graphics are nicer, but the temptation to dumb down and make games "accessible" to people who don't like gaming means most games fall below that level reached in 1992. This is like Deus ex in 1992; this a bizzare abheration, a leap bigger than any I've seen before or since. Not repeating the games you've mentioned, good actually fun games on the amiga that made a big impression on me were Gravity force, It came from the desert, Paradroid 90, Utopia (not necessarily good, but the first RTS type game I ever played) and Time machine. There was also some VR games for the Amiga (e.g. dactyl nightmare; got to play that a little at a trade show). I remember years later when the pentium MMX launched, the MMX instruction were marketed as being helpful for VR (!); still today we are saying it's not *quite* there yet.
Great video series. Sounds like I'm the same age and enjoyed a very similar up bringing with the amiga 500. Some great memories in the videos. Only one I didn't spot was GODS by bitmap bros.
My favorite Amiga game of all time oddly is Dune 2 - it probably wasn't a good game. I'm one of the few people in this world too that used the machine professionally (used to edit tape with Amilink and Video Toaster).
Dune 2 almost single handledly invented the modern RTS, so I think it was pretty great. Dune 1 on the other hand, it's an acquired taste. I love it, but I know it has some problems.
One of my favourites too. For me , it came about from that I liked the first Dune game , and I thought nr 2 would be more of the same. Still like both of them , for different reasons , obviously.
My Amiga Game will always be Dragon Flight. Endless hours of trying to get some playtime on my brother's machine to play this game that cemented my love for RPGs until today.
as a canadian growing up in the 80's, I would hear tales of these mystical machines of the east, and always wanted to play with em. i luv hearing and seeing more about these rad looking toys! xD
Amazing series and definiaately the ones i'll be linking to people to show off what were great games on the Amiga. I genuinely think Another World should have been in there with definiete reference to flashback simply because they were Amigas answer to Prince of Persia. I remember being blown away with the animation and with flashback hugely blown away by the graphics and cut scenes and music.
Best Amiga games from an original 500 buyer as it came out to upgrading to a 1200 with extra hard drive, ram and add on card underneath ... great times. My best games were Captive which hasn't been even mentioned, F19 my first game, Subwar which was graphically awesome, Dune 2, Birds of Prey, Frontier Elite, Intruder and the Eye of the Beholder games. Steve
Pinball dream was here in the last days of the amiga. Speedball 2 is in all compilation of the amiga games. A hit. Shadow of thr beat, the first game for meon the amiga and on of the best and one of the hardest. Monkey Island one of the best point and click games. Can see the remastered on the new consoles todays. Worms a great multiplayer game. Also on consoles today.
I'm not sure about _Super Skidmarks,_ but the original one was written in Blitz Basic! It was released as a free download a few years ago. I can't find the link for it, but here's the one for Blitz 3D which is source compatible (and has 3D commands added as well): blitzresearch.itch.io/blitz3d It is no longer being developed (it was superseded by the multi-platform BlitzMax and then 'Monkey') and only compiles to Win32, but it still might be useful to some people: blitzresearch.itch.io/blitz3d [edit: I guess I put that link in there twice!]
I've always been puzzled by Super Cars admiration - the game had kinda jerky scrolling, and I remember being too much depended on loading from drive (on my Amiga 500 with comfortable 1MB of RAM). My racer of choice will always be Micro Machines, with really brief loading only when really needed, cool imaginative graphics, and very large area of racing in comparison to SC. Yes, I know MM wasn't Amiga exclusive top down racer, but for me it was one of the iconic Amiga games. Oh, yes, so many tracks and vehicle models fit on just one floppy drive. Really cool piece. Love it! I like your 31 games of choice, by the way. Had around me quite some of those. Worms, SWOS, Lemmings 2, CFodder, Settlers.... Amiga will always rule!
Warlords, Dungeon Master, all the SSI Gold box games, Bards Tale, Eye of the Beholder 2, Buck Rogers, Battle Squadron, Space Crusade, Laser Squad, IK+, Speedball 2, Syndicate... Those Nostalgia goggles tho. Best Arcade conversion has to be Newzealand Story imho.
My opinion of SotB3 is completely different:) The game was amazing in every way. The puzzles were well designed, atmosphere was excellent (those giant demons/sculptures always seemed very impactful to me)... small scripts all around (like at the beginning, when you pass a certain point and the rock column rises from the ground and the music changes). The puzzles, though. They were awesome and there was very little recycling. Every problem presented itself in a unique way and there was much to consider. For example, the part where you melt the ice with molten metal or where you fly the bird and distribute those balls... The music is also so raw and ambiental, to put it that way. It really gives off a sense of both danger and a surreal setting. It's honestly in my top10 games - this is just off the top of my head, perhaps it's even higher.
Another World was great on the Amiga; a game I actually completed. Speedball 2 was brilliant. The game I played for literally a decade on the Amiga was a public domain library game on Fish Disk #63 (if memory serves), called Amiga Larn v12.0b... a dungeon crawler clone of Larn on the PC with tiled cursor size graphics, no sound. But the game was infinitely re-playable after completion, and not really easy to complete.
Oh man the nostalgia. Had hundreds of games yet only paid for one of them (my shame, thankyou xcopy). It came from the desert I and II for me and do totally agree with Supercars II. Brilliant.
I only ever played most of these games through MD ports (Genesis) as I am in the states.. I was lucky enough, however, to actually have a Commodore 128 which did have a scant handful of these games..and not much else. Sadly, in the box of all the computer parts that had the jumble of parts that was the 128, there actually WAS a US released Amiga (how did I get it? My uncle owned a flood and fire restoration company) as the owner had been a Commodore fanatic..but it was damaged internally. I got it plugged in, got everything set up, was ready to go on it and it arced out on me..that was the end of that. As you can build a brand new Amiga from scratch today, though....maybe a kit is a possibility? This would be the list to go to for sure!
Fantastic series of videos. Would LOVE to see the C64 equivalent... Gods is probably the one game I'm missing from this list, but I agree with pretty much everthing else. Good times. :)
OMG! Agreed, Dune 2 is my top proto-RTS game ever. I don't know how many times I have played it, but I can recall that I got 3 save game disks (and backup of them for safe keeping (and backup of backup))...LOL! And what about Flashback and Another World (seen in intro)?
Eye Of The Beholder (technically a ported DOS game but better on the Amiga.......yes it was don't argue). Defender Of The Crown. Gods (the best Bitmap game......... except for Speedball2.......... and Chaos Engine......... and Xenon 2). F/A-18 Interceptor (only came out on the Amiga and was frickin awesome). Another World....... I mean come on, how can you not have Another World in your list?
Awesome vid for an awesome machine. Balance between content/comedy is spot on. Constructive criticism: A few of the games suffer visually due to being stretched to fit 16:9, such as Pinball Dreams and Dynablaster. Some others are OK, guessing as these games were letterboxed on the Amiga originally. BTW, no-one has played Dynablaster with 5 players. Subbed.
Was hoping to see Bards Tale, Barbarian and come on, no Xenon II? What was the flying game with the Red Baron called? Glad to see Megalomania, Speedball2 and Supercars2 get a mention tho.
Nice to see Super Cars 2 get the love that it deserves... One of the best multiplayer games for the Amiga (long with Lemmings, Turbo Raketti 2 and IK+)
Monkey Island for definite, couldn't afford an Amiga back then, only the well off kids had them, but I always had Guybrush Threepwood on my mind from magazines, the graphics looked amazing.....and many many moons later, via a laptop and downloads from Steam, I can play at my hearts content.....AND hear the brilliant tunes/music from the game. Ron Gilbert's latest adventure is very good too.....Thimbleweed Park, have on download on the Switch
I spent a lot of time on the Amiga 500+ - Lotus , DPaint III Robo cop happy days but I don't think I could handle those blocky games anymore as I get motion sickness real quick getting old I guess :-)
I still have my amiga 1200. Games I would pick that haven't been mentioned in Bransfields 3 vids here are : Celtic Legends, Battle Isle, Dune and Dune 2, Leander, A Train, Heroquest, Space Crusade and Historyline: 1914-1918. Of the ones he did mention I loved Moonstone and I still think Sensible World of Soccer is the best footy game ever made.
Missing so many games, though most of them was not originaly amiga games (or came out at the end of the era) but they did end up on it. Ironlord and Last Ninja 2 are the top ones, then there are all the Sierra adventure games like Kings Quest, Simon the Sorcerer and the like. But I love that you've got Moonstone on the list. Does anyone know if there ever was a bugfree version of the game, none I've talked to that played the game have seen one.
I am still impressed how fast the amiga starts . Its a shame most my floppies are now defunct. For me chaos engine ,turrican ,aliens,f16, and the unfinishable faery tale ..was it finishable ? I spent weeks running away !
Monkey Island 2 complaint about the 11 floppies doesn't hold true. It was installable even on the A500 as you could have a HDD and at that time A600/A2000/A3000 all had HDD interfaces and the A1200 and A4000 where released that year and had an HDD option. And it's not the Amiga's fault no one could be bothered to add one.
It Came From the Desert Battlesquadron Armageddon Deuteros Future Wars Flashback Dune II Xenon II Supremacy Nitro Utopia Thunderhawk Rocket Ranger Carrier Command So many games, programs, demos etc to mention. What a machine.
Hell yeah!!!!!!! Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, loom........i could go on. Loved all the lucasfilm games, later to be lucasarts games......... the secret of Monkey Island, being my favourite game of all time!!!!!!!
Amiga greats would be 'another world' and 'flashback'.....these games just cracked my imagination. great gameplay definitely 'superfrog' and 'yo joe'....and the soundtracks on them were just phenomenal...i still listen to them today
Dynablaster/Bomberman has kept my heart till today and in all MP matches we do in modern versions it's no fun to play against me :D Missing Giana Sisters and Boulder Dash :D
Supercars 2 was one of the games that convinced me to get an Amiga 500. My dad's Atari ST gave me access to many of the then current games, but then I played Supercars 2 on a friend's Amiga 500, with the music pumping from a proper stereo (also Lotus 2, Turrican 2 and SotB). The ST has sounded like crap ever since, and went on to get a 1200 I used daily until 1997.
Did u ever try Harlequin , Bills Tomato game, or fuzzball . Loved the music in those. Harlequin was the first game I ever found a credit warp too aged 7.
ATR and ATR II were the most wonderful "small machines" game on Amy for us! :) I think it was better than Micro Machines and Super Cars together. We've played a lot in it with friends in a "championship mode". So you're dueling with somebody and the winner stays (as usual). I've never seen more fun in similar games ever. The best fact was that the mechanics was one screen for multiple players and you can "throw off the screen" your friend instead of boring "time winner" in split screen games. P.S. sorry for multiple comments. I think that less ppl will read one long comment to the end :p
watched and enjoyed all 3 parts of those videos. and even tho im gonna mention some titles after im done with my comment lets just say ... i would have included some games you excluded even some you didnt even think about .. the same as you included some i didnt even know which was a feat in itself after all im owning way over 1000 original amiga games yes original :) .. that beeing said and totaly beeing fine with your selection since its YOURs and actualy sientific prooven :P ... im thinking towards battle squadron .. lost patrol .. populous .. even powermonger ... mortal combat .. giana sisters .. jimm whites whirldwind snooker (actualy to this day i havent found a better snooker table simulator) ... im pretty sure there are still some titles left we both have missed or forgotten for the moment... about alian breed i enjoyed the danger ... about formular one grand prix i enjoyed having like 72 laps left beeing forced to play for hours ... stuntcarracer (never worked out a salto) .. here my brain rings again ... PIRATES omg that was soooo nice still trying to find that font .. its propably just a bitmap font used in that game and then never again .. antz .. then there was this ball roling (it was basicly dead centered and the screen underneath was actual moving) i cant remember the name tho just that it also had insane large level with labyrints and yellow red blu green doors which hneeded keys .... battle chess there is another one .. jumping jackson .. civilization omg .. now my brain really kicks in ... gobliiins ... duck tales ... ports of call ... ... ... BUT .. even tho i agree with your list you propably will endup in hell not putting postman pat on top :D ... i can forgive you tho :) was just great to watch the games .. brings back soooo many nice memorys
excellent list, you missed few gems (Dungeon Master I & II, Dune 2, James Pond II, Micro Machines, Super Frog, Furry of the Furries, Benefactor etc etc) but I forgive you. Right now I am preparing Amiga on Raspberri PI for my 3 yo daughter, once she is a little older she is gonna be exposed to all Amiga goodies, hopefully it is gonna make her better human being :) Amiga Forever!
Monkey Island 2 was the reason why I got 2nd floppy drive from my A1200 (btw I believe the game came on 12 disks not 11)! It's worth pointing out that in the early 90's while the Amgia processor fell behind the Intel's x86 line games always sounded better on the Amgia because of the sound chip. There are few big misses with you list IMO Theme Park being a big one along with Wing Commander but then again you list is based on you memories.
It was definitely 11. I had four floppy drives and it was still a pain until I bought my enormous 250 MB HDD at great expense! www.lemonamiga.com/?game_id=770
Speedball 2 is my favourite game ever regardless of platform. I'm waiting for delivery of Cloanto's Amiga Forever to arrive so I can play it again. My current emulator doesn't suppprt my joystick.
Great vid, as usual...!!! 👍🏻 What u got planned for the next vid.!? Dunno if u are too young, but would love a ‘31 Games that made the ZX Spectrum’..!!!
@@clementine2001 How can you put Jet Set Willy and not its forerunner Manic Miner? And how did I forget to mention them? I actually still have Manic Miner running on my pc along with Chuckie Egg ;)
Missing great Amiga Games in the three parts: 1. Bard's Tale II - Destiny Knight 2. Pirates 3. Star Glider & Star Glider 2 4. Giana Sisters 5. Hard'n Heavy 6. Popolous 7. Chambers of Shaolin 8. Xenon 2 - Megablast 9. X-Out 10. Garrison 2 11. Take them Out 12. F16 Falcon 13. Silent Service 14. Defender of the Crown 15. Ambermoon 16. Superstar Ice Hockey...hmmm... was it on Amiga or PC...I cannot remember 17. Lost Patrol 18. Great Courts 2 19. Katakis 20. Hostages
Ugh. So many fantastic games left out. So I'd like to extend the list with few honorable mentions: Weird Dreams (no game like it ever since), Sentinel (pushing the polygon computing to a new level), Hunter (same, massive map), Zany golf (great creativity), Gunship 2000 (pushed the realistic simulator envelope far). Well there were some great cheap releases as well, like Chicago 90 (fun to play, horrible controls), Return of the Jedi (c'mon it cost like 2 euros when it came out). Yeah, and for non games, what about VistaPro? Amazing what it achieved with such limited resources.
Super Cars II... If i think Amiga i think Super Cars II. The Music!!! We used to play two player but we was three. Loser had to sit and watch the next races. Then we found Death Rally on PC. 4 player in network. Damn fun.
hmm I can think of 5 games that should be on the list, or at least that should extend the list. For now I will say great vids. I would also put Supercars 2 on the list. Great 2 player fun. Would like to see a vid from your Amiga game nights. :D
Fun fact about the connection with Lemmings and Walker, the Lemming walking sprite was originally built as a test to see if a person could walk convincingly in under 16x16 pixels, which it turns out could be done in 8x8. This walking sprite (which one of the animators got bored and started putting their new little walking dude into traps and... well there's Lemmings) was being made as part of the design process for Walker.

Supercars II was awesome! Had terrific times playing that with neighbours and friends back in the day!

North & South, Supercars 2, Sensible soccer, F1GP and Dragons breath were my big games on Amiga.
pinball dreams was my favourite, i spent many hours on the nightmare board, oh the memories. thank you so much for this video, great job
2:20 Pinball Dreams... oh boy I spend a lot of time playing it. I can't remember how I did it, but I made an extra mouse port, so that I could use the mouse buttons for the flippers, because the Amiga itself were placed on a shelf out of easy reach. Good memories indeed.

For years at every family gathering my cousins said "Can we play North ge South" (Yes they didn't speak english at the time and for some reason thought the game was named "North ge South". Probalby the & wasn't quite clear in the bitmap graphics. Anyway, that is one of the games i associate most with my Amiga 500.
Our Speedball 2 disc had a lump taken out of it's corner, after it was flung at my brother's head in a rage.
What a game!
Im so glad you put super cars 2 on the list, placing a mine under a bridge for your friend to run into never got old. A few honourable titles if i may wing commander, falcon 4, great giana sisters, it came from the desert, tv sports football, another world, sword of sodan omg so many. Anyway great vids really takes me back.
3 brilliant videos. Looked like an astonishing amount of work went into them, thanks for that.
The way you described Supercars at the end was how I felt about Sensi World. 4 of us used to have mini tournaments over at a mates place during lunchbreak with the winner always being the same person because he could score some diagonal hoof cross header diagonal goal that the rest of us couldn't do. Good times!
Couple of games that also stood out for me were Dune 2 and Battle Isle (I can still hear the music....). I also had Shuttle, a real life NASA thing where you took the rocket out of the hanger, down the runway, went through lanch...er...stuff...with buttons. Lots of buttons. So many buttons that the game came with a vast poster with the control panels on them for you to locate everything. My only problem is that I couldn't ever figure out a way of turning off the realtime gameplay. And the journey from the hanger to the launch pad took something like 2 days. I gave up after 20 minutes and never played it again. On the upside, I have a mint condition Shuttle simulator. On the Amiga. Which apparently, nobody wants.
Loved all the games in your list, haven't played only a couple of them. I wanna jump in the nostalgia wagon too and mention Dune, Civ 1, Pirates, Deuteros, UFO Enemy Unknown
Thanks for these videos. I've always been curious about those little machines across the pond. Reminds me of the nostalgia I have for the old DOS games I grew up with.
The Amiga is remarkably easy to emulate these days, definitely worth a look if you're curious.
16:26 - if you have never played Dynablaster in 5-player mode then you haven't lived. It is absolutely brilliant. The sound of all those joysticks creaking and the teaming-up of people who then try to kill each other.... oh man I wish I had filmed some of those times. It's been 20 years now but I still remember it so clearly.
UFO: Enemy Unknown? Theme Hospital? Populous? Beneath a Steel Sky?
Hunter, North Vs South, Pang, Kid Gloves to name a few were my favs. Hunter was crazy with the amount of vehicles you could use.
Speedball 2 was fantastic. Actually miss that game :-) Supercars 2 was also really nice.
No Dungeon Master best played with lights off and headphones, you could hear the mummies before you got to them and they still scared the crap out of you when you turned the corner. Another classic would be Arkanoid.
Other games I enjoyed were Street Rod, Detroit, Railroad Tycoon, Space Quest, plus many of the games you mentioned.
Dungeon Master was originally an Atari STfm game if I recall rightly ???
It was an ST original but it was so sweat when it did came out on the Amiga (and was better!) as the Atari fans were so proud of it
The game I remeber Amiga is Sword of Sodan..
I loved the Amiga as stuntcar racer was the best amiga game ever
A great selection, think I may be a little bit older than you so the platformers didn't mean a great deal. Would've probably mentioned Indy 500 and F1GP but then I still play driving sims now! Great work and commentary, keep it up.
Thank you @Bransfield!
I've had a craving to play walker since I was a kid. I really love that game from the moment I first played it (7yo) and I've never been able to remember the games name!
I know what I'll be doing after work :D
I had an Amiga growing up, but apparently we didn't have any of the best games for it. We had a demo version of Worms that I still played a ton of, even though it didn't allow access to any good weapons (I became an excellent shot with the rocket launcher), and I think we borrowed Speedball from a friend, because I remember it, but only a little bit. The games that were memorable for me were Bard's Tale I and II, and Rocket Ranger.
Great selection. I can tell you were 'there'. For me - Syndicate, Dune II, Settlers, Stunt Car Racer, F1GP, Indy 500, Knights of the Sky, Gunship 2000, Nitro, Super Skidmarks, Buggy Boy, Lotus II, Pinball Dreams (Nightmare Table), Alien Breed, Robocop III, SWIV, No Second Prize, Walker, Lemmings, Dynablaster, Leaderboard Golf, Cannon Fodder, .............. and the list goes on.
Shame I sold my Amiga 1200 Hard drive setup when I got into PS1 gaming but......
never played 'it came from the desert' eh?
Get him!
There he goes!
The hospital escape mini game along with it's music is my all time favourite piece of insane genius in video gaming.
Yes mate!!, this was the comment I was looking for :)
It's not a good game. *runs away*
@@omma911 yeah, it's not good. it's awesome! ;)
I am that odd case who has had access to an amiga in some form for most of my life and yet i've NEVER played a monkey island game...
Then again, the amiga stuff I played back in the day (and still do, but through emulation mainly) are the more arcade-y stuff like speedball 2, chaos engine and rainbow island.
SuperFrog and Disposable Hero were amiga classics for me, I sure played a lot of Settlers on it as well which did get a mention in part 1.
wow mate you gave me the old video game feels, speedball 2 lol thought I was the only one left in the world who remembers this. stunt car, cannon fodder, mega lo mania, moonstone, walker, syndicate, great videos bro xcopy was awesome
New Zealand story was also fantastic. Can´t wait for the Amiga Classic!
There already is an amiga classic and has been for many years; amiga has been emulated perfectly (even better-than-amiga with being able to map custom keybinds so you don't have to have up as jump and some controls on a joystick and some on a keyboard, you just map everything to a modern pad and it just works). You can speed up and automate most of the disk swapping nightmare or get rid of it by emulating a harddrive for supported games. Save anywhere you want. It's great.
@@soylentgreenb oh? but you mean an emulator on PC or raspberry pi, right? I never seem to completely figure out how they work properly. I´m a bit of a f### up when it comes to computers so the NES classic, SNES classic, C64 mini and even pandoras box is something i´m really happy with. But IF there already is a plug n´play Amiga out there I would love if you would send a link to it :)
@@DonRR97 FS-UAE is as easy as it gets when it comes to amiga emulators. WINUAE is more adaptable but less plug-and-play friendly.
@@soylentgreenb Thanks. I still have my raspberry somewhere. perhaps i will give it another shot with FS-UAE , even though people also said that a raspberry pi was easy:) man.. But thank you!
@@DonRR97 You can just install it on your computer. If you insist on using raspberry pi I guess it should be available as a "core" for retroarch/retropi.
Amiga Power had a bit of a fued with Team 17, always giving their games low scores, to the point Team 17 took them to court over it.
I did a video on it last year :D
It's more like Team 17 had a fued against AP and they did not give all of their games low scores.
theweekly.co.uk/ap2/dissent/vendetta.html
Amiga power journalists were a bunch of tossers who had no credibility. And no I didn’t work at team 17😉
They intentionally reviewed unfinished code after being informed that the finished product was on the way to them for you know “laughs”
There were some games on the amiga that were bizzarely ahead of their time, showing the future potential of gaming while not being that great games themselves. Elite II was one of them; but space had been done before, even on older machine like the C64. I'm mainly thinking of midwinter (open world, first person), hunter (open world with vehicles, third person shooter/simulation thing) and stuntcar (that one was genuinely fun though). That was for me the lead up to what I would call the first immersive game ever made, Ultima underworld, on the PC a couple of years later (didn't play it until 1994, was dimly aware of it in 1993). This game took those little glimpses of brilliance I had seen on the amiga and made that promise real for the first time. Gameplay hasn't really improved much since this game in 1992; controls are better, graphics are nicer, but the temptation to dumb down and make games "accessible" to people who don't like gaming means most games fall below that level reached in 1992. This is like Deus ex in 1992; this a bizzare abheration, a leap bigger than any I've seen before or since.
Not repeating the games you've mentioned, good actually fun games on the amiga that made a big impression on me were Gravity force, It came from the desert, Paradroid 90, Utopia (not necessarily good, but the first RTS type game I ever played) and Time machine.
There was also some VR games for the Amiga (e.g. dactyl nightmare; got to play that a little at a trade show). I remember years later when the pentium MMX launched, the MMX instruction were marketed as being helpful for VR (!); still today we are saying it's not *quite* there yet.
Flashback? Another World? Armageddon? F18 Interceptor? New Zealand Story? ultimate classics
Great video series. Sounds like I'm the same age and enjoyed a very similar up bringing with the amiga 500. Some great memories in the videos. Only one I didn't spot was GODS by bitmap bros.
My favorite Amiga game of all time oddly is Dune 2 - it probably wasn't a good game. I'm one of the few people in this world too that used the machine professionally (used to edit tape with Amilink and Video Toaster).
Not on you're own, Dune II and Settlers were amazing for the day.
Dune II was/is amazing. Hmmm, Command and Conquer from the same developer (Westwood Studios). Now that's some serious milking.
Dune 2 almost single handledly invented the modern RTS, so I think it was pretty great. Dune 1 on the other hand, it's an acquired taste. I love it, but I know it has some problems.
One of my favourites too. For me , it came about from that I liked the first Dune game , and I thought nr 2 would be more of the same. Still like both of them , for different reasons , obviously.
@@carlosfandango2419my top two favourite games on amiga
My Amiga Game will always be Dragon Flight. Endless hours of trying to get some playtime on my brother's machine to play this game that cemented my love for RPGs until today.
Wow, great memories. I had many of these. One game I also loved was Xenon 2 megablast with that amazing soundtrack.
as a canadian growing up in the 80's, I would hear tales of these mystical machines of the east, and always wanted to play with em. i luv hearing and seeing more about these rad looking toys! xD
Amazing series and definiaately the ones i'll be linking to people to show off what were great games on the Amiga. I genuinely think Another World should have been in there with definiete reference to flashback simply because they were Amigas answer to Prince of Persia. I remember being blown away with the animation and with flashback hugely blown away by the graphics and cut scenes and music.
Best Amiga games from an original 500 buyer as it came out to upgrading to a 1200 with extra hard drive, ram and add on card underneath ... great times. My best games were Captive which hasn't been even mentioned, F19 my first game, Subwar which was graphically awesome, Dune 2, Birds of Prey, Frontier Elite, Intruder and the Eye of the Beholder games.
Steve
Brilliant. Was expecting "Hunter" to make an appearance. Loved that game. Can't disagree with many on the list!
Pinball dream was here in the last days of the amiga. Speedball 2 is in all compilation of the amiga games. A hit. Shadow of thr beat, the first game for meon the amiga and on of the best and one of the hardest. Monkey Island one of the best point and click games. Can see the remastered on the new consoles todays. Worms a great multiplayer game. Also on consoles today.
Frontier Elite II, Another World, James Pond, Connon Fodder, Micro machines,
Cannon Fodder was already shown in this list ..
@@xDP02 GOOD!
@@xDP02 So was Elite 2. Nothing wrong with giving it a second mention, though. ;)
I'm not sure about _Super Skidmarks,_ but the original one was written in Blitz Basic! It was released as a free download a few years ago. I can't find the link for it, but here's the one for Blitz 3D which is source compatible (and has 3D commands added as well): blitzresearch.itch.io/blitz3d It is no longer being developed (it was superseded by the multi-platform BlitzMax and then 'Monkey') and only compiles to Win32, but it still might be useful to some people: blitzresearch.itch.io/blitz3d [edit: I guess I put that link in there twice!]
Supercars 2 was my amiga game as well :) I watched all videos to find if it was on your list :)
I've always been puzzled by Super Cars admiration - the game had kinda jerky scrolling, and I remember being too much depended on loading from drive (on my Amiga 500 with comfortable 1MB of RAM). My racer of choice will always be Micro Machines, with really brief loading only when really needed, cool imaginative graphics, and very large area of racing in comparison to SC.
Yes, I know MM wasn't Amiga exclusive top down racer, but for me it was one of the iconic Amiga games. Oh, yes, so many tracks and vehicle models fit on just one floppy drive. Really cool piece. Love it!
I like your 31 games of choice, by the way. Had around me quite some of those. Worms, SWOS, Lemmings 2, CFodder, Settlers.... Amiga will always rule!
ATMOSPHERE - none better than Hunter, Paradroid 90 and Laser Squad. I never understood how anyone did without these.
Warlords, Dungeon Master, all the SSI Gold box games, Bards Tale, Eye of the Beholder 2, Buck Rogers, Battle Squadron, Space Crusade, Laser Squad, IK+, Speedball 2, Syndicate... Those Nostalgia goggles tho. Best Arcade conversion has to be Newzealand Story imho.
Amazing video. I love the Amiga. Must go get my a1200 out again :)
My opinion of SotB3 is completely different:) The game was amazing in every way. The puzzles were well designed, atmosphere was excellent (those giant demons/sculptures always seemed very impactful to me)... small scripts all around (like at the beginning, when you pass a certain point and the rock column rises from the ground and the music changes).
The puzzles, though. They were awesome and there was very little recycling. Every problem presented itself in a unique way and there was much to consider. For example, the part where you melt the ice with molten metal or where you fly the bird and distribute those balls...
The music is also so raw and ambiental, to put it that way. It really gives off a sense of both danger and a surreal setting.
It's honestly in my top10 games - this is just off the top of my head, perhaps it's even higher.
You and Dan Howe told me how to get through Secret of Monkey Island during technology lessons!
Supercars 2 always crashed on my copy too but ace.
Another World was great on the Amiga; a game I actually completed. Speedball 2 was brilliant. The game I played for literally a decade on the Amiga was a public domain library game on Fish Disk #63 (if memory serves), called Amiga Larn v12.0b... a dungeon crawler clone of Larn on the PC with tiled cursor size graphics, no sound. But the game was infinitely re-playable after completion, and not really easy to complete.
The Turbo Grafx 16 Super CD Shadow of the Beast has one of the finest soundtracks of all time. If you've never heard it, you're in for a treat.
I loved Chuck Rock! That game was cool and the theme will easily stick in your mind :)
Oh man the nostalgia. Had hundreds of games yet only paid for one of them (my shame, thankyou xcopy). It came from the desert I and II for me and do totally agree with Supercars II. Brilliant.
I only ever played most of these games through MD ports (Genesis) as I am in the states.. I was lucky enough, however, to actually have a Commodore 128 which did have a scant handful of these games..and not much else. Sadly, in the box of all the computer parts that had the jumble of parts that was the 128, there actually WAS a US released Amiga (how did I get it? My uncle owned a flood and fire restoration company) as the owner had been a Commodore fanatic..but it was damaged internally. I got it plugged in, got everything set up, was ready to go on it and it arced out on me..that was the end of that. As you can build a brand new Amiga from scratch today, though....maybe a kit is a possibility? This would be the list to go to for sure!
Fantastic series of videos. Would LOVE to see the C64 equivalent...
Gods is probably the one game I'm missing from this list, but I agree with pretty much everthing else. Good times. :)
OMG!
Agreed, Dune 2 is my top proto-RTS game ever. I don't know how many times I have played it, but I can recall that I got 3 save game disks (and backup of them for safe keeping (and backup of backup))...LOL!
And what about Flashback and Another World (seen in intro)?
I have very found memories of Battle Squadron. I still play it on emulator.
Battle Squadron had awesome music
Eye Of The Beholder (technically a ported DOS game but better on the Amiga.......yes it was don't argue). Defender Of The Crown. Gods (the best Bitmap game......... except for Speedball2.......... and Chaos Engine......... and Xenon 2). F/A-18 Interceptor (only came out on the Amiga and was frickin awesome). Another World....... I mean come on, how can you not have Another World in your list?
Totally agree to all points. And Another World is even shown in Part 1 Intro!
Awesome vid for an awesome machine. Balance between content/comedy is spot on. Constructive criticism: A few of the games suffer visually due to being stretched to fit 16:9, such as Pinball Dreams and Dynablaster. Some others are OK, guessing as these games were letterboxed on the Amiga originally. BTW, no-one has played Dynablaster with 5 players. Subbed.
Was hoping to see Bards Tale, Barbarian and come on, no Xenon II? What was the flying game with the Red Baron called?
Glad to see Megalomania, Speedball2 and Supercars2 get a mention tho.
Missing Populous(2), Dune 2, Civilization, Micro Machines...
Nice to see Super Cars 2 get the love that it deserves...
One of the best multiplayer games for the Amiga (long with Lemmings, Turbo Raketti 2 and IK+)
Monkey Island for definite, couldn't afford an Amiga back then, only the well off kids had them, but I always had Guybrush Threepwood on my mind from magazines, the graphics looked amazing.....and many many moons later, via a laptop and downloads from Steam, I can play at my hearts content.....AND hear the brilliant tunes/music from the game. Ron Gilbert's latest adventure is very good too.....Thimbleweed Park, have on download on the Switch
I spent a lot of time on the Amiga 500+ - Lotus , DPaint III Robo cop happy days
but I don't think I could handle those blocky games anymore as I get motion sickness real quick
getting old I guess :-)
Well, Prehistoric was what did it for me... And Fiendish Freddy's circus game. Ooh, and Another World!
I still have my amiga 1200. Games I would pick that haven't been mentioned in Bransfields 3 vids here are : Celtic Legends, Battle Isle, Dune and Dune 2, Leander, A Train, Heroquest, Space Crusade and Historyline: 1914-1918. Of the ones he did mention I loved Moonstone and I still think Sensible World of Soccer is the best footy game ever made.
Heh, I forgot that in Walker you go from right to left.
One of the games that "made me" buy an Amiga 1200 in 1993.
Great list of games there.
Missing so many games, though most of them was not originaly amiga games (or came out at the end of the era) but they did end up on it. Ironlord and Last Ninja 2 are the top ones, then there are all the Sierra adventure games like Kings Quest, Simon the Sorcerer and the like. But I love that you've got Moonstone on the list. Does anyone know if there ever was a bugfree version of the game, none I've talked to that played the game have seen one.
I am still impressed how fast the amiga starts . Its a shame most my floppies are now defunct. For me chaos engine ,turrican ,aliens,f16, and the unfinishable faery tale ..was it finishable ? I spent weeks running away !
Monkey Island 2 complaint about the 11 floppies doesn't hold true. It was installable even on the A500 as you could have a HDD and at that time A600/A2000/A3000 all had HDD interfaces and the A1200 and A4000 where released that year and had an HDD option. And it's not the Amiga's fault no one could be bothered to add one.
It Came From the Desert
Battlesquadron
Armageddon
Deuteros
Future Wars
Flashback
Dune II
Xenon II
Supremacy
Nitro
Utopia
Thunderhawk
Rocket Ranger
Carrier Command
So many games, programs, demos etc to mention. What a machine.
Do you remember Zack McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders? Maniac Mansion?
plus Rick Dangerous and that game with the lambada music
Hell yeah!!!!!!! Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, loom........i could go on. Loved all the lucasfilm games, later to be lucasarts games......... the secret of Monkey Island, being my favourite game of all time!!!!!!!
Barbie Blacksheep loved Rick dangerous, should have been on his list.
Ports of call, Harpoon, Populous, and Empire. And many more!
Robert Wise Seconding Populous.
loved all those building my fleet of mega freighters creating tidal waves etc
Amiga greats would be 'another world' and 'flashback'.....these games just cracked my imagination. great gameplay
definitely 'superfrog' and 'yo joe'....and the soundtracks on them were just phenomenal...i still listen to them today
Dynablaster/Bomberman has kept my heart till today and in all MP matches we do in modern versions it's no fun to play against me :D
Missing Giana Sisters and Boulder Dash :D
Supercars 2 was one of the games that convinced me to get an Amiga 500. My dad's Atari ST gave me access to many of the then current games, but then I played Supercars 2 on a friend's Amiga 500, with the music pumping from a proper stereo (also Lotus 2, Turrican 2 and SotB). The ST has sounded like crap ever since, and went on to get a 1200 I used daily until 1997.
Did u ever try Harlequin , Bills Tomato game, or fuzzball . Loved the music in those.
Harlequin was the first game I ever found a credit warp too aged 7.
So many favourites but I'll just say one for now P. P. Hammer and His Pneumatic Weapon.
ATR and ATR II were the most wonderful "small machines" game on Amy for us! :) I think it was better than Micro Machines and Super Cars together. We've played a lot in it with friends in a "championship mode". So you're dueling with somebody and the winner stays (as usual). I've never seen more fun in similar games ever. The best fact was that the mechanics was one screen for multiple players and you can "throw off the screen" your friend instead of boring "time winner" in split screen games.
P.S. sorry for multiple comments. I think that less ppl will read one long comment to the end :p
Very Well Said mate! oh and Overdrive & Superfrog from team 17 was one of the classics in my opinion
watched and enjoyed all 3 parts of those videos. and even tho im gonna mention some titles after im done with my comment lets just say ... i would have included some games you excluded even some you didnt even think about .. the same as you included some i didnt even know which was a feat in itself after all im owning way over 1000 original amiga games yes original :) .. that beeing said and totaly beeing fine with your selection since its YOURs and actualy sientific prooven :P ... im thinking towards battle squadron .. lost patrol .. populous .. even powermonger ... mortal combat .. giana sisters .. jimm whites whirldwind snooker (actualy to this day i havent found a better snooker table simulator) ... im pretty sure there are still some titles left we both have missed or forgotten for the moment... about alian breed i enjoyed the danger ... about formular one grand prix i enjoyed having like 72 laps left beeing forced to play for hours ... stuntcarracer (never worked out a salto) .. here my brain rings again ... PIRATES omg that was soooo nice still trying to find that font .. its propably just a bitmap font used in that game and then never again .. antz .. then there was this ball roling (it was basicly dead centered and the screen underneath was actual moving) i cant remember the name tho just that it also had insane large level with labyrints and yellow red blu green doors which hneeded keys .... battle chess there is another one .. jumping jackson .. civilization omg .. now my brain really kicks in ... gobliiins ... duck tales ... ports of call ... ... ... BUT .. even tho i agree with your list you propably will endup in hell not putting postman pat on top :D ... i can forgive you tho :)
was just great to watch the games .. brings back soooo many nice memorys
mad tv .. *cough* :D
Faery Tale Adventure, Millennium 2.2, Deuteros, Populous, Bard's Tale, Gravity Force, Firepower, Silent Service, Test Drive
Damn this list...is so similar to my own. Great work ;)
Honestly my top 31 games would have very few of these but then the Amiga had so many amazing games.
320x256 masterrace reporting in. Good list! ;)
excellent list, you missed few gems (Dungeon Master I & II, Dune 2, James Pond II, Micro Machines, Super Frog, Furry of the Furries, Benefactor etc etc) but I forgive you.
Right now I am preparing Amiga on Raspberri PI for my 3 yo daughter, once she is a little older she is gonna be exposed to all Amiga goodies, hopefully it is gonna make her better human being :)
Amiga Forever!
6:30 What´s up with super skidmarks going reverse on the track and doing that impossible jump?.
That was the best track! Especially if using really fast cars you could catch sooo much air you disappeared from the screen. xD
Monkey Island 2 was the reason why I got 2nd floppy drive from my A1200 (btw I believe the game came on 12 disks not 11)! It's worth pointing out that in the early 90's while the Amgia processor fell behind the Intel's x86 line games always sounded better on the Amgia because of the sound chip.
There are few big misses with you list IMO Theme Park being a big one along with Wing Commander but then again you list is based on you memories.
It was definitely 11. I had four floppy drives and it was still a pain until I bought my enormous 250 MB HDD at great expense! www.lemonamiga.com/?game_id=770
Speedball 2 is my favourite game ever regardless of platform. I'm waiting for delivery of Cloanto's Amiga Forever to arrive so I can play it again. My current emulator doesn't suppprt my joystick.
Sub’d for sure! Gotsta have ma nostalgia in the morning! 😁😁
Great vid, as usual...!!! 👍🏻
What u got planned for the next vid.!?
Dunno if u are too young, but would love a ‘31 Games that made the ZX Spectrum’..!!!

So I'd like to extend the list with few honorable mentions: Weird Dreams (no game like it ever since), Sentinel (pushing the polygon computing to a new level), Hunter (same, massive map), Zany golf (great creativity), Gunship 2000 (pushed the realistic simulator envelope far). Well there were some great cheap releases as well, like Chicago 90 (fun to play, horrible controls), Return of the Jedi (c'mon it cost like 2 euros when it came out).
Yeah, and for non games, what about VistaPro? Amazing what it achieved with such limited resources.
GSjmak weird dreams, God that takes me back
Super Cars II... If i think Amiga i think Super Cars II. The Music!!! We used to play two player but we was three. Loser had to sit and watch the next races. Then we found Death Rally on PC. 4 player in network. Damn fun.
No another world?!? outrageous :)..unless I blinked in the wrong spot
and no flashback either
hmm I can think of 5 games that should be on the list, or at least that should extend the list.
For now I will say great vids.
I would also put Supercars 2 on the list. Great 2 player fun.
Would like to see a vid from your Amiga game nights. :D
