A hugely anticipated game at the time, Theme Park is a building and management sim by Bullfrog. The premise is simple, choose your plot of land, design your theme park, build everything from the paths, rides, shops, adding plants, hedgerows and the like.
You also are in control of the management of the park, controlling elements such as employee wages, research and development budgets, right through to how much salt you put over your fries which in turn can make your visitors thirsty for a drink and stumble straight into your next shop to quench their thirst! The aim of the game ultimately is to build a successful enough park to increase its value, sell it on at a huge profit and then move on to other parts of the world and do it all again.
An excellent example of the sim-management genre on the Amiga. Last, but by no means least, Turrican 2 is the sequel to the popular original. Although the gameplay is similar to the first title, the improved visuals and famous Chris Huelsbeck soundtrack add a lot more to the overall feeling of the game, making this my favourite of the series.
The game has many qualities and has had comparisons made to the likes of Metroid thanks to its large level design. You progress through each sprawling stage destroying enemies, collecting power ups until you reach the end of level boss, pretty straight forward stuff! You can also use another special attack where you turn into a small indestructible wheel, destroying all smaller enemies in your path. Play Turrican II instantly and other games online on archive.

A Mini Announced — Where to Pre-order. August 12, June 16, Rick Dangerous — Commodore Amiga Review. May 12, Then there was Crazy Cars II and it was bad, too. Now it could race alongside the Lotus games and Jaguar XJ Apart from the licensed name change, the major difference between Crazy Cars III and Lamborghini American Challenge is the split-screen mode that allows two players to race against each other.
The driving model feels fluid and the races are spread across the U. There are cops, gambling, car upgrades, and everything else you might expect from a street racing game.
This is a compilation of 20 Infocom text adventures that covers fantasy, science fiction, adventure, mystery, and horror. Infocom was the king of interactive fiction and The Lost Treasures is well named. As well as six floppy disks, the chunky box contains a page manual and a handful of documents and maps.
These are games that require a lot of reading. Bloodwych is a dungeon crawler RPG with distinctive box cover art by fantasy artist Chris Achilleos, who may be familiar to readers of Fighting Fantasy books. The game distinguishes itself from RPGs like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder by its simultaneous two-player mode and split screen.
Of course, multiplayer games that used a split screen had the unfortunate drawback of allowing your opponent to peek at your part of the screen. Another interesting feature of Bloodwych is a detailed conversation system that allows you to talk to both enemies and members of your own party. There was an expansion called Bloodwych: The Extended Levels that added new places to explore.
In the strategy game Millennium 2. In the sequel, Deuteros , mankind is back on the earth a millennium later and is now beginning to explore space and colonize other planets. Using Earth City as a central command center, you can access training, research, production, and resource screens. The game starts slowly, as you work out how to build a mining rig, shuttle, and orbital factory, which will allow further space-based construction.
The scope of Deuteros expands as you advance and burdensome tasks become automated as researchers come up with new inventions. The idea is to make the gems on the left side of the screen match the gems on the right side using certain color transformation rules.
Presenting the game is Kiki, a male fantasy Japanese girl who has brought along her friends. Yes, games were often aimed at the male members of the species in those days. The presentation is sparkling and the audio is top notch, with some excellent music and speech. The company Software refused to publish it. Fly Harder is a shiny version of Thrust that was first released in Germany in and then more widely in In the UK it was sold for a very reasonable as an original budget title.
Admittedly, there are only eight levels, but the game is challenging enough to last some time. The aim of the game is to safely guide energy spheres across the map to overload reactors. The player controls a spaceship that is constantly being affected by gravity.
In itself, controlling the ship is difficult enough but when a sphere is attached, its inertia causes extra problems. Fly Harder offers keyboard control remapping, a feature that was strangely not particularly common on the Amiga. But as with many releases on that console, the CD version differs little from the floppy release. Populous II. Theme Park. These are all amazing Amiga games associated with Bullfrog. Flood is so named because waters rise, filling the levels and eventually causing the main character, Quiffy, to drown.
The aim is to collect pieces of rubbish and escape. Although it could be described as a platform game, Quiffy can climb up walls and across ceilings as well as leaping about. The weaponry includes a large flamethrower, a boomerang, and grenades that can be used to fight a strange bunch of enemies. A mysterious ghost follows Quiffy around and must be avoided. It all adds up to a slightly bizarre game with an unmissable end sequence.
As the game begins, the player is hurtling through space, through a solar system to a distant pinpoint, which becomes larger and is revealed as the planet Eris. The spacecraft then proceeds to land on the planet. The sword of Damocles, in this case, is a comet that is about to hit Eris. Such an early 3D game has limitations of course, and the world is sparsely covered in buildings, with large empty spaces in between. However, as with Amiga games such as Hunter , the abstract 3D style adds to the charm.
On 8-bit machines, its famous games were the likes of Uridium and Paradroid. The character of D. Although developed for the Amiga , there was an enhanced AGA chipset version for the more powerful Amiga machine, which included a whole new world. Virocop was the final Amiga game from Graftgold and, as a parting gift, it was also an Amiga exclusive. Behind these generic fantasy names is a detailed role-playing game that is a kind of prequel to Bloodwych. The developers added some great little touches, such as a dragon who draws a map and a chicken option that causes the characters to run away Monty Python and the Holy Grail -style.
The world is traversed on an overview map, but the game changes to an isometric game upon entering certain locations. Each of the four characters possesses a special ability: hiding in shadow, a bardic melody, a berserker rage, and spellcasting.
The magic system is freeform and is the basis of a massive number of spell combinations. Runes provide magic effects, such as damage or healing, and are combined with ingredients to create spells. Pushing the joystick right increases the throttle and pushing it left decreases it. Pulling the joystick back pulls the aircraft nose up and pushing it forwards pushes it down.
As the view is from the side, this takes some getting used to, and initial attempts at taking off will probably result in a nasty crash. There are 32 tracks to complete with city, forest, desert, and apocalypse themes, and three players can race at the same time with two on joystick and one on the keyboard. There is no split-screen mode so racers must avoid falling behind.
Micro Machines and the Super Cars games may be better known, but Nitro is an uncomplicated game that is well worth your time. In , Gremlin followed this up with Space Crusade , which was also based on a board game from the same two companies. Unlike HeroQuest , Space Crusade is viewed from a top-down perspective, which is less pretty but gives a good overview of the tactical situation.
During combat, the game changes to the more aesthetically pleasing isometric viewpoint. Each mission is set on an alien hulk and allows up to three players to board as Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, or Ultra Marines. Each team of Space Marines takes turns moving and attacking aliens.

I know hybris is only for amiga , but I am sure there are many good games for a I got a little money to blow So I can afford to get a few amiga games.
Thank you!!! There will be some hidden gems mixed in with digital turds, but by the end you should consider yourself a successful graduate of the school of forgotten Amiga platformers.
When thinking about the graphical touches that define the retro platformer, your mind instantly goes to parallax scrolling backgrounds, big bright characters and lush environments. Against these visual staples, Aunt Arctic Adventure — with its pitch black backdrop, limited colour palette and underwhelming sprites — seems a poor choice of game to play.
Released in by Mindware, Aunt Arctic puts you in control of Charlie the Chimp as he battles through 50 levels of platforming action in search of his lost Aunt.
Each level consists of avoiding enemies and finding enough bananas to unlock the doorway to the next stage. The graphics are simplistic — borderline uninspired in fact, but Aunt Arctic makes up for this in so many other ways. Levels vary from sprawling multi-screen affairs to stages where you free fall from the top of the level to the bottom trying to swing past bananas on the way, and every turn tests your skill and reflexes.
A few levels into the mammoth 50 stage challenge you begin to discover that the real charm of Aunt Arctic is simple and classy — the charm of discovery.
