I only played a demo of Sensible Golf so I'd put that on for sure too.

It wasn't the best port but the Amiga version of Final Fight was probably my most played game until I discovered The Secret of Monkey Island. It wouldn't save on my mate's Amiga so it had to be done over a weekend once, I remember getting stuck on act II for ages for some reason.

Footie games too obviously, dozens of them. Sensi was The One but he had one where you could chase the ref around too. Might've been called Red Card (or somehing whistle maybe, stupid brain) but I'll have to look it up.

No.

It emulates the 500, 600 and 1200 and you can add stuff to it without hacking it.

Although the A1200 is in a plastic box in the garage.  It might even still work (and the HDD might even have those JPEGs of boobs I got from a PC-owning mate at Uni).

Super Frog was my favourite game on the Amiga. Closely followed by a game called Brian the Lion and Yo Joe - I was well into platformers back then. 

Surprised to see no Kings Quest games included in the line up.

North and south is still top tier. We were so lucky we had it. The replay ability and difficulty were set perfectly.

Lotus 1&2 and then the jaguar game set the precedent for top gear on the snes.

Chasehq was a better outrun (oh outrun) on the Amiga.


Was there any methodology about how they chose games or was it purely on rights?

The Amiga 500 launched with either than Batman pack (not there) or fun pack (which had the eco captain guy platformer and maybe rainbow island).

My friend and I got different one so we could swap games prior to his brother having copied everything from school friends.

Glad it comes with a pad and not a johstick. I used to go through joysticks every four months playing Summer Olympiad.

Cartoon Classics pack came with Captain Planet, Lemmings and Bart Vs The Space Mutants (and Deluxe Paint). Though mine also came with a tennis game. Maybe it was an extra game the shop were throwing in.

Brian the Lion!

I’ve still got the big box at my parents house along with a few others. I also remember having Jurassic Park but the game looked nothing like the screenshots on the back of the box.

I had tons of games for it (mostly pirated) but many were absolute garbage.

These were back in the days when you had to go to page x, line x, word x in the instruction manual as a anti privacy measure lol. How times have changed.

Not interested in this but I do have fond memories.

Amiga had some great tunes -

I think the batman pack was the year before. I was a cartoon classics guy as well, it had the amiga 500+ which had a slightly different version of kick-start which meant some games might not load without using a disk to switch back to the old kick start if I remember right.

Highlights of the amiga era for me were : alien breed, lemmings, sensible soccer, North & South, moonstone, monkey Island 2, il+, rainbow island, speedball 2, and of course turrican 2.

Is that the same Tim Follin as Plok Tim Follin?
That guy's a technical wizard the likes of Yuzo Koshiro.

It wasn't a games console, it was a serious computer for helping with schoolwork.
