Looking back at retro gaming it's easy to think a particular system had this game or that game when it first came out, in reality at the time it was oh so different. The Amiga was one of the strongest platforms for new and original games, Lemmings, Sensible Soccer, Flashback, Pinball Fantasies, Cannon Fodder and 96 other games are covered in this book, some were exclusive, others were released on the Amiga first, and in some cases a full 3 years before other versions came out, i think that would be hard to imagine nowadays!
