    I had an Amiga A500,A500+ and an A600, I loved every moment of them, I was surprised that 'Swiv ' wasn't in the top 20,such a brilliant shoot em up! 🙂
  • My personal Top 10: 10. D-Generation 9. Syndicate 8. Monkey Island 1& 2 7. Project X 6. Dyna Blaster 5. Rainbow Islands 4. Turrican 2 3. Alien Breed: Special Edition 2. Speedball 2 1. Sensible World of Soccer
  • @perer005
    A bit unexpected to not see The Settlers on the list, it was way ahead of its time.
  • @gumdeo
    Ah, the Amiga. The greatest computer of the 16-bit era.
  • @Jarek.
    As always, every Amiga owner has own favourite list in the heart... For me memorable members of this list are (in random order): a) Civilisation - we were playing this as a group game, each of us got one settler and then established own City. So we could spend time playing "together", b) Ports of Call - I was blown away by the graphics. And still remember bad things which could happen around Cape Town, c) Galaga - don't know but my friends and I spent sooo many hours playing this, d) Hired Guns - oh, it was so scary and dark
  • @deanholt2135
    Really surprised Xenon2 didn’t make the top 20. But glad to see Alien Breed, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island and Lemmings where all in there. I also liked a lot of MicroProse combat sims like F-15,F19, Gunship and Falcon 4.0. Some of my other favourites were The Lost Vikings, North & South & Mega lo Mania.
  • @jamesd9630
    I still have my Amiga 1200 in the loft. The games I loved were Gunship 2000, Chaos Engine, Alien Breed 2, Genesia and Zeewolf. Still got loads of games too including Cannon fodder and The Great War 1914 - 1918 etc...... No doubt I will remember more later.
  • @Vinniebabe
    There are some games that have not aged well on many devices but I feel many of the Amiga titles still hold their own. I still regularly play SWOS, It Came From the Desert, the settlers and Populous 2
  • @KILRtv
    Glad to see Wings on the list, but i thought Defender of the Crown would've been in here somewhere.
  • Biggest missing game for me is Crammond’s F1GP. It was the reason I bought an Amiga if I’m honest. I played them through to the 4th in the series (which I still play) on PC and they inspired my continuing focus on sim racing today. When I pulled the A1200 out of the loft last yearF1GP was still resident on the hard drive. 🙂
  • @phil9533
    Dune 2, Football glory (swos with streakers) Putty Squad (but was actually unreleased) Rick Dangerous, Syndicate, Zool, The Settlers, Skidmarks, Benefactor, Beneath a Steel Sky, Walker... to name a few, but so many amazing games. I guess it's what you have the most fond memories of
  • @Thunderhawk8472
    What I’m personally missing would be Katakis, R-Type or Apidaya and I tend to like Jaguar XJ220 more than Lotus. Regarding Sid Meier I like his Pirates game more than Civilization. What I absolutely enjoyed on the Amiga been the RPGs from SSI taking Place in the Forgotten Realms or Krynn
  • I still have 3 amiga500s in their boxes and stored up..i tend to emulate these days but can't beat a real amiga for the true experience...disk grinding and guru meditation screens lol.
  • @001lessie
    Not having It came from the desert in this list is unfair. It sold the Amiga to me after I saw it running somewhere. Cinemawares masterpiece imo..
  • @mikehunt9884
    lol stunts racer was so much fun, i remember making a really long square track with just one jump to see how fast and how high we could jump the car
  • Awesome vid mate. Thoroughly enjoyed it, really took me back to th late 80's n early 90's wen my cousin would visit from Sydney n bring his 500 with 1 meg chip with him. Huge fun but I was surprised that game's like Barbarian 2, Lost Dutchman's mine, It came from the desert and RoboCop 3D weren't mentioned! 🤔👍
  • @f.k.b.16
    I don't know how i lived through my childhood in the 80's and didn't have a clue about the Amiga. It really seems more like a machine released in the early 90's.
  • What was amazing about Lotus Turbo Esprit is that you could have two Amiga's connected together and play 4 players at the same time. As well, Gauntlet (or perhaps something similar) could have 4 players with two on the keyboard.
  • @Chobbito
    I remember I wanted my Amiga after playing 'Super Cars II' at my cousin's on his Amiga 500, that Christmas my parents got a second hand Amiga from the newspaper for Christmas and I lost my mind when it was an Amiga 1200 😄, problem was I found out Super Cars II didn't work on the A1200 😭 Ah well it still became my favourite computer/console and I've had many, I still have it with such great games as the 'Monkey Island' games, 'The Settlers' & 'The Shepherd' (which where my Populus type stratergy favourites), 'Bubble and Squeek', 'Desert Strike' and just so many more creative fun options. What a machine
