@miggybaz @KariLawler So, was this enough of a tweet-storm over-explanation to a simple question? 😄
(All the old DblPAL screenshots from the mid-90's were captured on my A1200 or later A4000 .. Everything PAL and Picasso96 was captured from WinUAE. I'm all virtual-retro now.) 😮
@miggybaz @KariLawler I've been using an Amiga since.. ooooh. Well, I was onto the A1200 by the mid 90s. 👴 At some point I got into using the MagicWorkbench Icons. (The standard four colours.. plus another four?) So I've been keeping the good ones as I found them. 🤔 The cartoon icons were on Aminet.
@KariLawler You have an A1200 now? Cool!
You honestly have the best Amiga right there.
Suggestions:
Cannon Fodder - really fun mouse-controlled shooter
Lemmings 2: The Tribes - it's Lemmings!
Benefactor - the cutest puzzle platformer
Banshee - one of two player vertical scrolling action
My choice for best P&C is Darkseed, although I jump between this and Cruise for a Corpse, I love all things Alien and using H. R. Giger artwork as a basis for this game is awesome, it's also scary

My choice for best #action game on the #amiga has to be Turrican II, played this game so much, was the only game I recorded music to a tape and would bike around hearing the music on my walkman, a classic.

My choice for best simulation racer on the #amiga is #Indy500 I love F1, but Indy 500 is where I spent most of my time, the sheer speed of this game is a miracle on the Amiga

My choice for best #Amiga #rpg is Elvira Mistress of Darkness, this is a 3D Dungeon Explorer I really like how scary it was, and exploring was great fun.

My pick for best Platformer on the Amiga is Superfrog, I think #team17 tried to create a fantastic game for every genre, they all looked and played fantastic.

Another #amiga classic, loved how this game use to scare me playing at night, manuvering your #spacehulks through the caves and corridors, was really hard though, brutal.

I rather enjoyed this game on the #amiga it was very much like Hostages which I also enjoyed, a 2 player split screen game where you have to infiltrate an over run Alcatraz

@FlightDreamz @gregnacu The Amiga was great in the A500 days. Good in the A1200 days. And then it just continued downhill from there as Commodore didn't do enough to improve it, while PC's and Consoles continued to overtake and drive off into the distance. 🤔 Was fun while it lasted though. 😄
@TheSplendidFox @000Angus000 @LoveRetroBTW @RetroGamingDev @Retrogamebrews @RetroBoyJon @RetroGamersClub @prime_retro @retrogaminggeek @VGR4lyfe @RetroBlastUS @gamesyouloved @gamesfreezer I mean, it was amazing they got it working on Amiga. It can be played from floppy-disk (and the Amiga was only 880k floppy-disks) on an A1200 with 14MHz CPU and 2MB RAM. But it wasn't well optimized, so was slow on the upper floors of big UFO's. But an amazing game regardless. 👍
NightBreed was overlooked on the #amiga maybe because of the film, but this game not the arcade game was a cross between It Came From the Desert and a miss mash of game ideas.

This game is a Chaos Engine tribute, but it's way more than that, it was also free with Amiga Format, really fast and has a great soundtrack

Future Wars was great, not the most remembered of the P&C on the #amiga you would travel time periods, future and past trying to solve an ancient mystery

#elvira #amiga arcade game, this is a platform one, it has some good animation and sound, it's an enjoyable game.

One of the best Platformers on the Amiga is Superfrog, I think #team17 tried to create a fantastic game for every genre, they all looked and played fantastic.

Going through the #cinemaware games on the #amiga here is The King of Chicago, you can see some of the gameplay elements that became hallmarks for their other titles.
