    80s and 90s were the best decades to be a kid. So many beautiful memories.
  • Glad to hear Moonstone recognised as a masterpiece. Never forgot this game.
  • @gallan671
    Some great games mentioned here - only thing I think I would add would be Defender of the Crown + Great Giana Sisters
  • @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.
  • @ripxkid
    So many classics left out... Project X Pinball Dreams Lost Patrol Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis Body Blows Thunderhawk Wing Commander Laser Squad Indianapolis 500 Arcade Pool TV Sports Basketball North & South Pirates! Alien Breed Hybris Uridium II Desert Strike Xenon II: Megablast Assassin Fire & Ice James Pond II: Robocod Magic Pockets The Lost Vikings Myth Rick Dangerous Superfrog
  • I remember my stomach tingling the first time I drove the Ski Jump track in Stunt Car Racer. That game was great.
  • There were so many, not surprising you could leave out a few: -Dungeon Master -Kickoff -F16 Falcon -Hollywood Strip Poker -Silkworm/SWIV
  • @Blake00001
    I am amazed at how beautiful those games were. I had an incredible childhood/early teenage years.
  • @robertdaone
    Everything that CinemaWare made really showcased the Amiga's campabilities!
  • @OllyKilo
    Watched this with my daughter to show her how things used to be. She was actually impressed with some of the graphics.
  • @chrisicotec7652
    The Amiga 500 changed my life and kickstarted a 30 year (so far) career
  • @hansolo9119
    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!
  • @mjmobile
    Excellent video! It is interesting that many folks, especially younger and over the pond, don't realize that the system had over 2k games in it's fantastic library. Pure love for the Amiga. I would add Walker, Qwak, Superfrog, PP Hammer and Fury of the Furries to the definitive list as well 🙂
  • @maniacsatwork
    Great Video. I would definitely add Defender of the Crown to this list as it's a game I still play to this day. And also Toki for its fun gameplay and arcade conversion accuracy.
  • 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 Service..........
  • 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.
  • @spdmaniac2
    Great work. I was born several years after Amiga but is great to see the influence it had on gaming. And your view is always a nice way to learn about these games. Man, such a quality video. Thank you so much for it!
  • @AnonyMooseUK
    This brings back so many memories. So many hours spent on these.
