The Amiga really attracted just the worst developers. Technically it should've been able to play good games, just nobody made them for it. It's always funny to look at videos compiling every single port of games like Space Harrier and some obscure Japanese business machine with zero gaming aspirations when it was designed manages to have a better version than the Amiga port.

im a total fucking Euroweeb neckbeard burger and have always envied the home computer gaming scene of the 80s and early 90s over there. I imagine being a kid in that era would have been fun. The Amiga and ZX have always been super interesting to me and i got around to importing a model of the ZX that apparently will function without modifications properly on burger crts, but havent gotten around to playing with it yet.

It was, my friend had an amiga and his dad had several ice-cream cartons filled with random (marked and unmarked) cracked diskettes. We used to pick diskettes at random and just explore what the fuck was on there, sometimes you'd find really weird shit (weird gore-filled soft-core animated porn cartoons), and sometimes you'd find great games, or anything in between.

In the very early 90s, Amigas were being promoted as engineering student computers because they were the most powerful on the market at that time.
I had several friends in engineering school and almost all had an Amiga.

Also because of the Amiga's 12-bit color capability, it was popular for early computer porn.

The entire ecosystem was made up of ex-demoscene euro devs who churned out games that looked amazing but had mediocre to poor gameplay.

Most of them moved to the Gameboy and DS line after the Amiga stopped being manufactured. Some, like Shin'en and VD-Dev, are still around making technically impressive and not-fun games.

I fell for the amiga meme. Its not as good as people say, i understand at the time of its greatness, it did things other computers couldn't... Though, through the lense of history, it didnt really shine in ways that pentiums did in the early 90s. Amiga had a short, sweet, run, but, it died a death worse than sega and atari. Face it, there's not really any new amiga fans, like atari and sega grab, even. The only notable game that i enjoyed on the amiga was they came from the desert and its a fantastic game, though its not worth buying one over a d i had never even heard of it as a kid. The amiga is even less of a novelty or oddity than the speccy or cpc.

Beast 1 is actually pretty controversial. At the time people were blinded by its presentation, but only the most honest videogame mags at the time had to balls to give it a low rating for its obvious bad gameplay.

Japanese computers were trash. PC88 and 98 were much more expensive than western computers at the time yet much worse at playing anything other than hires VNs.

Amiga games should be avoided at all costs except in the rare case that the Amiga version is the definitive one. A few examples
Star Control 1
Cinemaware games

Other than that most of the good stuff is demos and animations, save yourself some trouble and watch them on youtube.
If you are emulating it here are a few secrets
The budget A500 model with 512K ram is the gold standard for compatibility because euros are poor.

Not gonna lie, while I think the Amiga (and other related western micros like the C64 and Atari ST) are kinda interesting, I've been put off of the Amiga for a long time since a lot of what I played never completely lived up to the standards I'm used to set by Japanese console and arcade devs of the era. Many of those games only catering to one-buttonfags even when multi button controllers started appearing didn't help.
That said, If anyone's willing to drop some recommendations for games that are actually exclusive or where the Amiga version is considered best, I'd love to hear them. Any genre is fine tho I lean more towards arcade action

If you are into stuff like Thrust, Solar Jetman, Sub-Terrania etc., I recommend Zarathrusta too. There are a few other games like this for the Amiga, but this is the best one I played

And why do you think Capcom solds the right to their crown jewel, which was the hottest game in the world at the time? Before you attempt another cope, Capcom developed every home port worth a damn and it would have been trivial for their team to knock out an Amiga port.

Except for the pesky fact that the Amiga is incapable of producing a decent port of SF2 because it's a dogshit games machine.

The actual dev was Creative Materials who were probably some British teenagers that US Gold hired because they were cheap.

It's not been mentioned yet but Amiga ports also suffered from often being Atari ST copypaste that didn't even use the blitter. Typically they'd start with the ST version because it was a simpler machine to code for and then just "convert" it for the Amiga.

Creative Materials handled numerous ports. They may not have been rockstar devs, but the idea that the hottest game in the world was somehow acquired by US Gold and palmed off on teenagers is laughable. It's really not that hard to just admit that Capcom knew what it took to run the game and wanted nothing to do with the systems they refused to develop it for.

The Amiga was all about artful graphics and cool kick-ass music, it was all about mood, ambiance and vibe. When it came to actual gameplay, even the crude by comparison NES got it beat 9 times out of ten. The really good games came out later in it's lifespan when it was going up against the new at the time SNES and the PC platform who was coming into it's own with great stride and eventually absolutely had murdered it by the end of 94.

And let's be honest, copying games for free was probably the biggest appeal for most, for every one NES/SNES/Megadrive game you had there was probably 30-50 Amiga games in your collection you had copied from your friends.

I love the Amiga for what it is/was, it's great on it's own merits and what it did it did better than anything around at the time.

all those Euro arcade ports were made by getting a license from the UK subsidiary of Capcom, Data East, etc and some shovelware dev with inexperienced teenage programmers would be expected to port it in two months with no source code or arcade assets. the original Japanese dev had nothing to with them and probably didn't even know the ZX Spectrum existed in the first place let alone know some clowns tried to port Bad Dudes to it.

HI This is a proof of concept based on a 90's TV show called Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), so I thought making a doom mod based on it would be vary cool idea. And some day it would grow, and advance over time, plus this would be vary hard to do if im the only one doing this project and this project has been going around my head for 2 years and I've made two maps but are not finished do to computer problems and software bugs. Im new to this 4Chan stuff and im looking for some help and good advise on map, sprites, and textures and code. If anybody wants to help me with this project join my Facebook group its, called Sonic SatAM Doom Mod of Project Sonic SatAM doom mod.

Amiga's never came with joysticks as standard. People had to go out and buy them separately because developers were retarded and ignored that every Amiga owner was guaranteed to have a keyboard and mouse for input devices. That one button gimping was self enforced and spread like AIDS.

>The Amiga really attracted just the worst developers. Technically it should've been able to play good games, just nobody made them for it.

I have to disagree here. While it had theoretically good hardware, it was ridiculously difficult to make full use of it, you had to basically disable the OS and hit the obscure hardware directly in assembly. You either follow the programming guidelines from commodore and end up with an average title most of the time, or you screw that, go all in and hope that you can finish the project before the platform becomes obsolete.

If you focused too much on these technical aspects, you spent too much time and resources on it that you ended up with such technical marvels like Shadow of the Beast series, that although beautiful, were complete and utter garbage in terms of gameplay.

Because they were pretty much all under 20 with self-indulgent interest in graphic art and tracker music doing tech-demos that got contracted to create games in typically around 2 months. They simply weren't old or disciplined enough to consider what would actually be a fun gaming experience from the perspective of someone not constantly play-testing the game and trying to wrap it up.

While true I don't think the nature of the European software industry helped. Outfits like Domark and US Gold had no interest in spending two years on a game like happened with SMB3. They wanted it done and on shelves in 2-3 months.
