PERSONAL NIGHTMARE AMIGA PC
Why it was chosen: Team17’s series has been the recipient of a number of reboots over the years but the bog-standard polygonal efforts released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (Alien Breed Evolution, Assault and Descent) don’t really come close to the simplistic yet effective Amiga originals which were pretty bloody intense at the time. What it is: A trio of top-down shoot ’em ups in which players have to defeat hordes of suspiciously Giger-esque xenomorphs. Listbench version 3.1 (Amiga joke there) 1) Alien Breed I, II and Tower Assault
PERSONAL NIGHTMARE AMIGA HOW TO
I won’t be telling you how to do it though. What if you want to specifically play the Amiga version, though? Well, not that I would promote it, but it’s worth bearing in mind that all of these games can be found for Amiga emulators if you look hard enough. Instead, I’ll be telling you if there are any other ways to get hold of each game on different, still active formats. Since most Amiga games are over 20 years old and the floppy disks they came on are likely riddled with errors, I won’t be doing the same this time. In previous lists I’ve included affiliate links to buy these on Amazon. Trip Hawkins later went on to create the 3DO, so… um, yup Here’s EA’s Trip Hawkins committing to the Amiga. Everything in this list was deemed good enough to make the cut, so I recommend them all with similar enthusiasm. Much like it’s pretty pointless deciding whether a game’s getting a score of 72% or 73%, it doesn’t really matter if Rainbow Islands is my 8th or 9th favourite Amiga game. The annoying notes bit which is a tiny bit different from last time However, that said, here are the 30 Amiga games I spent most time with and loved more than any others.
On a definitely, honestly unrelated note, I had hundreds of Amiga games (ahem), so choosing just 30 for this list was bloody difficult. It was piss easy to get hold of copied Amiga games, and while developers and publishers suffered as a result there could be no denying it was a big selling point for some would-be customers. Without beating around the bush, part of the Amiga’s success was down to piracy. Well, that’s just showing offĪlthough I never took sides in the console wars because I was fortunate enough to own them all, when it came to computers I was a staunch supporter of the Amiga, my trusty A1200 providing me with countless hours of entertainment.
Oddly, although both were manufactured by American companies, both were arguably more popular in the UK, where the microcomputer market was already booming thanks to the previous generation’s offerings from British companies Sinclair and Amstrad. When these systems died out and were replaced by 16-bit computers, the war evolved and two new competitors stepped forward (because nobody counts the Acorn Archimedes). The ’80s saw a brutal three-way battle between the ZX Spectrum (hooray!), the Commodore 64 (yes, well played) and the Amstrad CPC (hahaha, aye, okay mate). The two biggest wars among gamers – in the UK, at least – were between computer owners, not console owners. The Amiga 500, the first major Amiga model Mega Drive versus SNES? Wouldn’t wipe my balls with it.

If one of your favourites isn’t on the list, feel free to give it a shoutout in the comments below ( politely though, mind) and tell everyone what it meant to you.

In case you missed them, I’ve already covered the 30 best DS games, 30 best GameCube games and 30 best Dreamcast games.Īs before, because this is my own personal list and not a collaborative effort for a magazine or website, there will be some glaring omissions of games I simply didn’t play or didn’t like.
