Ok, as I've had a few smart comments on this - Frontier came with two disks. Disk two was the game disk, disc one was the intro! and as for my pronunciation of 'TH' ... that's how Irish people pronounce it, a hard 'T', it's our accent :)

There was something incredibly special about that era of gaming. Maybe it was the system itself, or the quality of the games, or how it was such a huge part of my younger years, but for me there are still some games that hold their own against some of the titles out today. Granted the graphics might not be quite as appealing, but the Monkey Island series, Sensible (World Of) Soccer, Batman: The Movie, Goblins, Lemmings, Worms amongst many others will forever stand the test of time.

Four games that I played to death on my Amiga and that I think should be included in any top 10 Amiga list: 1. Llamatron 2112 2. Rock n Roll 3. Turbo Hang On 4. Archer McClean's Pool/ Jimmy White's Snooker Llamatron 2112 is Jeff Minter at his crazy, psychedelic best. Sure, it's pretty much a revisited Williams Robotron 2084, but Jeff added so many extras, power ups, bizarre attackers and levels to make a fast, frenetic and thoroughly addictive game. I played it for months and destroyed a number of joysticks before managing to complete all 99 levels! Rock n Roll has to be one of the most fiendishly addictive and compelling arcade puzzle games that I have ever played, easily on the same level as Lemmings. The objective is simply to guide a ball to the end of each level while navigating hazards, treacherous terrain and solving puzzles along the way. It had everything from precise and skilful control, puzzle solving/ logic as well as racing against the clock. All the while with some great music to keep you going. A very underrated game that should have got much more recognition. Turbo Hang On is a port from the Sega arcade classic of the same name. On its release, the Amiga port was easily the best of all the conversions at the time. Faithful to the original, awesome graphics (showing what the Amiga was capable of) with fast and exhilarating game play. Jimmy White's Snooker and Archer McClean's Pool (both programmed by Archer) were basically the same game play, with the snooker version licenced to use World snooker champion Jimmy White's name and the pool version released under Archer's own name. Both were incredibly good fun to play with unique gameplay cue control and excellent 3D graphics. Probably the best snooker and pool games ever in my opinion. Oh, and if no input is made to the game after a certain period of time, the balls start making faces at you!

Graphics and sound do affect gameplay though in all arcade style games. If Uridium 2 was not as fast and responsive as the original on the C64 the game would suffer. Jerky versions of arcade driving games are horrible to play compared to the silky smooth Lotus II game pushing the Amiga to it's limits neaning you can pull off pixel perfect overtakes round a bend at "150mph" etc. The most interesting game designs are indeed small groups or bedroom coders, but the best Amiga games have audio/visual programming that is top notch combined for that SNES and Megadrive version crushing release.

First off greetings from the USA. 14:10 I totally agree with your comments about The Settlers. I was a kid when the game came out, I too loved the slower pace, the music, the strategy. I also did what you did, I issued a whole bunch of commands and let the computer run while I went out and did stuff. I remember coming back and hearing the sounds of my kingdom being attacked and rushing to save it. Cool video, thumbs up!

Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain is what got my interest in flying sims, probably WWII as well. It came with a great book containing a brief history of the BoB along with quotes by those that were there, manuals back then were a big part of the gaming experience.

You guys have a total different list than me: 1: Captive (Played that game soooo much !) 2: Black Crypt (better than Dungeon master, from which it's a kind of clone) 3: The Eye of the Beholder (great DM clone) 4: Bloodwych (graphicaly worse than all those dungeon master clones i loved, still i liked it a lot because it was so loong and interesting) 5: Chaos strikes back (I never had the original dungeon master, but i had this sequel to it) 6: Legends of valour (The only "half RPG" game i had on my Amiga that had 3D texture mapping) I Don't remember many of the other games i had, so i preffer to give just my top 6, or it would probably not be much accurate.

I have recently bought a box with floppy disks for sheer nostalgia reasons, and they now stand on my shelf. I played Sensible Soccer and Alien Breed as well and had a lot of fun. Another title that I adored was Superfrog, a really cool game; I am sure you have also played it.
