I came to the Amiga party fairly late on - I bought an Amiga 1200 in 1992. Coming from the C64 it was only natural that 2 games I took to straight away were the two Turrican games. I later got hold of Turrican 3 which of course was a Megadrive conversion. It didn't go down that well with the reviewers IIRC who thought the less sprawling levels of Turrican 3 were a bit restrictive. Personally I didn't mind, I enjoyed all 3 in different ways.

I enjoyed the Sid Meier games in particular - Railroad Tycoon and Civilization I'd already played on the ST and the PC respectively. But the game that ate up more of my time than any was Colonization. There was a lot more thought put into adapting the game for the Amiga's UI than had been the case with Sid's earlier games, which still clearly betrayed their MS-DOS origins, visually.

Yes..I joined the ranks of the Amiga back in 1991, when just after selling my Atari ST (holds head in shame  🙂

I have an Amiga 600 in my loft, sadly no games left but in time i aim to change that. Shadow of the Beast, Flashback, Another World are all the games i would need to be happy.

A little vid i made.

Great video! Nice selection of games that really show off the system.

Cheers again, like the last vids I made. It's more a most played top 10 than a overall top 10.

My brother was the Amiga owner in our house, and had an A500, then A1200. I used to muscle in on some games such as SWIV and Zool.

I recently found my Amiga purchases in my garage in a stack box, somehow I have ended up with 3 of them and can't find a power supply anywhere Doh!

The Amiga is probably my favourite retro computer of all time.  I got mine back in 1990.  It was 'The Flights of Fantasy' pack. 

There are so many great games for it : Monkey Island, Civilization, First Samurai, Rainbow Islands, Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Jaguar XJ220, etc.  I could go on for a very long time.

I did a few serial link multiplayer link up games as well.  Knights of the Sky and Populous II were great with that feature. 

I did also use it for some serious work.  I did have AMOS for it, but only did a few simple things in that.  I loved using Deluxe Paint as well(a massive shame that EA didn't continue that for the PC, in my opinion).  I played around with NoiseTracker and OctaMED as well.  I also used Text Engine for word processing. 

So many happy memories of that machine.  It was so far ahead of its time.
