BEST AMIGA GAMES

[Anonymous No.8202189]

What are some Amiga games that were first released on the AMIGA and the best version exists on the AMIGA.

One example would be Defender of the Crown. All the ports are inferior. I know this for a fact.

if I'm not wrong I believe Cannon Fodder's best version exists on the Amiga.

However a lot of the other games in its library you're better off playing those games on DOS or Consoles.

The C64 versions of Cinemaware titles tend to be programmed better than any of the other ones.

All Bitmap Brothers games afaik. They're all absolutely superior to the console ports it's not even funny. Psygnosis games have some decent console ports, but they're superior on the Amiga.

And the usual recs such as Utopia, Dune 2, Lotus games, Battle Squadron, Flashback, Populous, Hard Days Knight.

I love this button masher game, it's more fun than it has any right to be. The graphics range from ugly to awesome. It's really such a unique and distinct game.

Amiga games you had to be there at the time to really enjoy them, this stuff aged horribly, the art is eurojank of the worst. If was a novelty at the time, you couldn't get better so you compromised. Just search for Amiga best games and you'll find everything.

If you were 14 in 1994 of course this would appear fun but that's because you couldn't get Sonic so you compromised with this euro garbage instead.

Lots of Bitmap Brothers titles are overrated though. Magic Pockets is an okay platform and that's it. Xenon 2 has shitty hit detection and controls, not to mention dead ends in a fucking shmup. Precision of control over character in Gods rivals the Speccy titles, it is borderline discreet movement.

Of course it's fucking discreet, it's an action puzzle game like Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia, not a bingbingwahoo.

You're a retard. Graphically and musically and gameplay wise a game will be best on whatever platform it was intended on. Go through youtube and check every single other port of Defender of the Crown and you'll see for yourself

And that just isn’t the case with defender of the crown. The Amiga version is missing some features that are in later versions.

He's right tho. It's not a clone by any stretch but it's definitely influenced by Sonic. It's also pretty bad. And I fucking love the Amiga and still own and update a couple :/

The Amiga looked face-melting when all it had to compete with were 8-bit machines and shit EGA PCs but definitely surpassed by the start of the 90s.

All Bitmap Brothers games feel too stiff. They all look good, and their good games are infact good, but even Speedball 2 is so slow and unprecise that I wonder if my fond memories of it stem from playing it with actual friends, getting drunk and going out later that night.

Stop thinking of Amiga as a video game system, you'll always be disappointed that way.
Amiga was a great computer for audio and video edition, video games was just an extra it could do, and not as good as consoles or arcade boards, but that wasn't its goal.

SMB has momentum-based physics but it's definitely not slippery. If you fall, it's your own fault.

Lemmings suited computer much better than consoles thanks to mouse controls, and I thinl the Amiga versions were better than the PC ones, but the Archimedes port ran the best.

I loved my Amiga but seriously? The SNES just fucked it's shit up when it came to games. I would feel bad for my Amiga buddies when they would try to show me that their computer was still relevant because it had zool and street fighter.

Desert strike on Amiga was the best version though, fight me.

>I loved my Amiga

No you didn't.

Lotus II is faster than any driving game on the SNES, maybe except for F Zero, but that game is just so flat and empty. Every 3D game runs better on the Amiga. Amiga has the best RPG and strategy games, SNES' port of Utopia was expensive and cut down. The vast majority of games that were intended for Amiga such as Flashback, Gods, SWIV, Alien 3, sound and play much better on the original system, and have no equivalent on the SNES. Not to say that the Amiga is better at playing scrolling games, but Ruff and Tumble, Alien Breed, Green Beret, Turrican games, Odyssey, Psygnosis games, X-Out and Z-out, you got tons of good ones that will keep you occupied for weeks and months.

It is also worth mentioning that, whilst these games were developed by very small teams on microscopic budgets, the equivalent of what we would call "indie devs" today, SNES games often had large teams of AAA studios with virtually limitless financial backing behind them. And yet, the Amiga efforts were still able to come shockingly close to what even the best studios were able to get out of the SNES, even surpassing it in some regards, such as slowdowns and input latency. It goes without saying that properly funded AAA development on the Amiga would have thoroughly shown up the 1/3rd slower SNES.

[Anonymous No.8212751]

>>8212715
It could be funding but then again it's not as if Amiga devs were under any rigid Q/C standards like applied to console devs. I do agree that it was expensive to release a Mega Drive game so you'd be less likely to take shortcuts.
