Thread 11858202

What are the best Amiga games? What games are better on Amiga than they are on other platforms? Are there any Amiga exclusive video games?

Enjoy your vacation

Came from /co/ I see

>>11858238
Apparently, mostly from /g/ of all places when I tried to lookup if that image has been posted here before.

>>11858263
Yeah just saying because of the Walk in the Park thread going on right now. Lemmings is a good Amiga game, started on Amiga at least. I didn't make the connection until this thread, but that explains why there's a reference to it at the end of the animation.

>>11858270
Apparently the guy who drew that is a total Amiga autist, still using one daily to this day, and did animations for Amiga games and I think even Animaniacs according to those threads. I guess that explains why one of the newer alternate OSes you can use for Amiga had a cat woman for it's logo.

No wonder they lost...

Be sure to get WHDLoad versions. If some of these have a DOS equivalent the Amiga version is better due to sound/graphics.

>>11858689
Jaguar is shit.
And Lotus 1 should be on there too, it's more bare bones than the sequels but it has a unique feel that the others could never quite recreate.

>>11858697
Can't believe you got filtered by Jaguar.
Lotus 1 started the series, but the sequels did everything better in my opinion.

HMOFA fans will never be "chads", you'll always just be white bread. Man up and grow some chest hair like the rest of us HMOMA legends.

Newfags walk into an Amiga thread and complain about art of Eric W. Schwartz characters.

Thanks for the list, going through these looking up videos.

I like how the Amiga's legacy outside of Europe is just a cute skunk girl because of some guy's animations and web comics

this cope again?

I was born a bit too late for that era, but it seems like a cool time. Sharing games and code in person must have been fun.

Is HMOFA not what man has dreamt about since he first gazed up at the stars? The dream of HMOFA is what drives the human race forward.

>>11860185

Every time I see Amiga stuff it seems cool as hell but I feel like I can't truly enjoy it like someone who was actually there

>>11858792
do you have a rom that bypasses the copy protection shit?

I got into this exploration spaceship shooter, The Executioner. It's cool, just remap the forward and back on the joystick to actual buttons

>>11858202 (OP)
>What games are better on Amiga than they are on other platforms?
Pretty much any game made in Europe before 1994ish is a safe bet

idk maybe f-117 cuz its theme rocks

>>11860394
The WHDLs already have the copy protection removed.
If you see a code question in one you can usually just hit enter.

We used to trade pirated games (diskette) on the side at car boot sales. Sneakernet, we called it

>>11860634
It's a floppy disk, dude.
How do you not know the English term for that?

>>11860638
nta but diskette is the correct English word (coined by Alan Shugart)

>>11860772
Floppy Disk was first

>>11860772
>>11860778
Diskette is what floppies are called in Germany, and considering this is an Amiga thread, it's safe to assume the guy is just German.

>>11860496
Damn, you are correct

>>11860780
"Diskette" was a brand name for floppy disks sold by IBM, and it was extremely common for some foreign languages to copy IBM terminology for computers instead of coming up with its own words. For example, up until 2010s it was very common for older people to refer to any hard drive in Russian as "Winchester", in honor of a specific IBM minicomputer hard drive from the 1970s.

>>11860914
And did anyone in Russia give a shit about Amiga?

>>11860919
Probably not. We jumped from homemade Speccy clones to IBM PC compatibles pretty soon. There were some enthusiasts, of course, but they were a minority. I once encountered a 1996 magazine disk for ZX Spectrum in a TOSEC romset, which had instructions on how to emulate it on PC or Amiga if you didn't have a Speccy.

>>11858202 (OP)
People usually ask this after playing a bad snes/genesis port on Amiga but yes the blitter made it a bit slow for console action games but yes even some action games turned out better on Amiga while stuff like adventure style games the Amiga is more suited to. A couple I can think of.

James Pond 1 Genesis, 512k vs 880k floppy, missing copper effects and some graphics/sounds.
Sword of Sodan - graphics reduced in size on genesis but it runs smoother
Galahad - better in some areas and extra content
Toki, Pac Mania - graphics

Theres a lot of games like this sprinkled within the Amigas library, the blitter should just be used to update the graphics outside the viewable area the way the consoles do it but people just didn't know until later. Yes Amiga got a lot of low frame rate action games compared to consoles.

>>11858689
Not that Chaos engine is bad on gen/snes, the type of game is just more suited to Amiga. Jag XJ220 is pretty cool on Mega Cd though.

>>11860919
I saw that Russian Nintendo streamer playing real Amiga hardware

>>11860185
I wanted to learn programming on pc in the late 90's but I could never find any books on it.

when are we getting c64 and amiga retro cheevos

>>11861097
I don't think it's possible considering many, many crack releases out there, especially for C64. Some of these even fixed bugs the developers left in the game.

>>11861107
The emulator just needs to support them, you can use cracked games as the ROM you just need to specify the checksum when you develop the cheevos

>>11861089
>Jag XJ220 is pretty cool on Mega Cd though.
Core Design was the only third party Western developer who saw potential in Mega CD hardware beyond the disc drive. They did some cool games on Amiga, but it feels like they finally got a chance to fulfil their ambitions on Sega's addon.

Silkworm
SWIV
Q-Bic (All 3 above made by the same author btw)
Turrican 1 & 2 absolute amigakino must play, sort of Megaman but cooler
Katakis good R-Type ripoff (brutally hard, analog turbo controller required)
Twintris best Tetris game ever made imo
Moonstone total kino must-play
Datastorm probably the coolest Defender clone that exists
Battle Squadron excellent 2-player Shmup that somehow fit on one 880 KB disk
Black Crypt Amiga exclusive Dungeon Crawler, supposedly good (I haven't gotten around to trying yet)

>>11858397
There's an extremely edgy mass killing exclusive for Amiga that I won't name, it was somewhat popular back then, go look it up if your heart is true you will find it

>>11861173
>Twintris best Tetris game ever made imo
I'm a bit impressed with Twintris, I did not expect an arcade mode with distinct challenge stages akin to Atari's arcade Tetris. Music is good too.

how is the New Zealand Story anyways? I heard some hearsay here and there that it's pretty much the EU's Mario 3.

>crack releases
You learn fast with amiga to play IPFs and pirate the manuals because if it's not cracks introducing game-breaking bugs it's bad dumps.

>>11858202 (OP)
none, amiga sucks.

My human-sized skunk amiga sucks my dick.

>>11859306
lil sippy?

>>11858202 (OP)
It came from the desert is the only Amiga game I've actually thoroughly enjoyed and it is better than it's dos counterpart by a Texas mile.

>>11861786
Wouldnt be Windows or iOS without Amiga. You suck.

>>11859853
>>11859281

>>11858202 (OP)
Amiga audio and music usually excelled when compared with some DOS/console ports. Some examples include Hired Guns, Road Rash, Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island 2, Wing Commander.

>>11863554
Fate of Atlantis and Monkey Islands did support Roland MT-32 though. Sure, for 90% of contemporaneous gamers Amiga versions probably did have better music, but if you had the cash, PC was superior.

>>11863575
Unless you were really into making music it was a pretty ridiculous thing to own, I don't care how rich you are.

A complete brand new Amiga was cheaper than an MT-32.

Got a link to this? Google & Youtube give me nada.
