Next year, when the Amiga Maxi is released, I'm gonna be all over Super Stardust - used to love that game back in the 90s. A few others on this list I'm going to try out that I missed first time around. Counting down the days. Still, I have The Spectrum to look forward to in the interim.
i hated the scene on the amiga when it tried to be a megadrive , it was never going to do the things a console could , it became a cheap console for people to pirate games , its so much more than that , consoles couldn't run elite 2 , they didn't have enough buttons , the amiga was a PC not a console , its glory days were before it tried to compete with the snes and the megadrive. the developers of the later games focused more on a console experience , it was never going to happen with a computer that only had one fire button. i love the amiga. i was so happy to upgrade from a c64 to an a500. but then I'm a PC gamer , not a console gamer , the amiga was incredible
I agree. If I wanted just to play games like Sonic and Mario i'd buy a console. I wanted to do so much more than play platform games. Gimme more games like Lemmings, Worms, Cannon Fodder, Sensi, Project X, - not lame Sonic knock offs like shitty Zool.
Issue is the Amiga could always support up to 3 buttons, its just lots of hardware manufacturers never produced enough joysticks or pads that supported this, and so the software vendors created the games for the largest common market (1 button) - Commodore should have been pushing the hardware manufacturers to released more multi button controllers for the system and therefore the games would have followed with the support
TBH I'd of dropped BB & BBG out of the video and replaced it with Ultimate Body Blows for the CD32. I still feel there are enough AGA games that you missed for a part 2, I won't name them here as wouldn't want to spoil the surprise in case there is a part 2 but if anyone is a real Miggy nut they will know where I'm coming from. All I can finally say Is I hope the younger generation show Amiga as much love as us OG's did back in the day, it really was a special set of systems developed by a special set of people who deserve not to be forgotten!!! (Motorola Inside).
I am quite happy with the ocs amiga 500 i have..I never saw the attraction of AGA myself...AAA chipset looked promising but sadly commodore sank in 1994...I still own a c64c and 3 amiga 500s and love these machines.
@@JustJamie1983 You have the data and knowledge already, you know the games I am clueless about. And you ask me to work on your video to make it more accessible to your audience. WTF are you talking about. Have you really never noticed that this is a thing on other similar channels? I like to watch videos of of good games I want to check out later when I check out that system. But without a timestamp I would never save that video to rewatch, when I want to revisit that system again. Because I don't know the games so I would need to rewatch the full video instead of playing. For games I don't know I need to be reminded a bunch of times so I can memorize enough of it's name with its visuals so can remember it. Do you get the value of time stamps for a collection of good games you presented now? For you, you don't need it because you already know all about it. But what was the point if it was not for us to learn enough to remember to play them. I am saying timestamps help massively with that retention of information. By more deeply connecting the visuals with the name for us who don't know them as well as you do. That is why I am asking you for timestamps. You know when you add them in the comment to the video they turn up as makers and titles in the progress bar, right?
monkey island 1 and 2 were very good too, captivating even. i'm sure you like them as well. this selection is great, starting with turrican 2 and showing a lot of exciting games many people didn't know i think. i owned this machine, totally loved it but don't have a quarter of your knowledge. and you have very good tastes i find! thank you for another great video!

Good selection. Personally I would add Pinball Fantaisies AGA (and Pinball Illusions)

Yes, I agree. Far too many AGA greats. Who knows. Could be a part two 😀
Another outstanding video with some amazing graphics 😍
Aww thanks x
@19:30 You did show the cover of Fightinfg Spirit but the video of Shadow Fighter
Grrrr! I promise. I did go through it one last time before uploading!
For me it's Pinball Illusions and Putty Squad (with special mention to Virtual GP).
You are showing the OCS/ECS version of Chaos Engine but is all good, i consider its graphic superior
Whoops, my mistake.
Banshee every time. Loved that game, really made it worth owning a 1200 (elite 2 running faster was also a massive win).
@@naviamiga absolutely. The 1200 was the way to go!
1944 clone?
@@Ytnzy250 I don't know what you mean. It's clearly 100% original vertical scrolling shooting with WW2 era planes and enemies.....
I would choose Gloom deluxe over the regular Gloom 🤘🏻
Some of these games had fantastic graphics for the time.
Looked even better with a proper monitor.
32:08 Giana Sisters S.E. please is this version from AMIGA??
Yes. That's why it's in an Amiga video.
@@JustJamie1983 I already found it, this game has about five versions
I am quite happy with the ocs amiga 500 i have..I never saw the attraction of AGA myself...AAA chipset looked promising but sadly commodore sank in 1994...I still own a c64c and 3 amiga 500s and love these machines.
@@doctorsocrates4413 the very best of micro computing.
Not gonna lie, I was hella fond of my A1200 back in the day, but the Zool and Robocod games were just baaaaaaaaad.
You ain't gonna change my mind.
Yup I know they were awesome.
Hello , IS it possible to listing game played ?? Thanks 👍
Yup. That's why I popped in box art so you can see.
The chaos engine here is not formava version, but from ocs/ecs version… and others games here mentioned are not from Ava version…
?
Shame that you say fighting spirit and is the shadow fighter
@jauspicios not really because you have just told us all about my mistake.
Hi great video I'm having no luck finding T zero , not even in my AGS. Any help 🤘🏻
There's a quite famous ARCHIVE on the INTERNET.
Hey, thanks. Please support the devs and buy.
Bro you need timestamp please
@cajampa feel free by all means 😀
@JustJamie1983 Are you really asking me to do it?
@cajampa since you are the only one who have asked for time stamps. Sure.

@cajampa thanks for your comment
Also, Alien Breed II and Tower Assault….
Sure but I had to stop at some point lol
@@JustJamie1983 Fair enough… should have said: it’s a great video, I really enjoyed it!
@antonvaltaz hey, no probs. I enjoy making these. I have uploaded many C= videos. Uploaded Best CD32 the other day too.

@Dokan777 no worries. That hours of research 😉
@35:28 i tihnk that is not the right SF 2 version
It's New Challengers
The Amiga was king until.........Wolfenstien.
Still is 😀
Ehm, and Brian The Lion?
Mate. This is a personal list.
I think some are just "AGA compatible" not AGA really.
body blows didnt run that fast at all , it was floaty as f , terrible game , even on an a1200
It worked perfect for me as per video.
@@JustJamie1983 I ran it on my a500 and it was very floaty and slow, shadow fighter was a much better game
@valley_robot not too great for the A500 then.
The Lion King on Amiga doesn't look as colorful as the DOS version.
