      So as mine 😹👍🕹️🕹️.
      And it's much better on the Amiga 😺👍🕹️🕹️ than on the Commodore 64 😹🕹️.

      I didn't even know it was released for Amiga, let alone C64! I played it on Genesis/Mega Drive back in the day. Had good times with my brother playing co-op. :)

      @@staraffinity I think the Megadrive had the slightest edge over the Amiga port, but thoroughly enjoyed both. It was released on all 8bits

    This is a really solid list. I would also add Flight Of The Amazon Queen.

    Nice list.. Surprised Cannon Fodder didn't make that list based on some of the titles in there.

      On a different day maybe. But it would definitely make a top twenty 😉 thanks for watching 👍

    I wish, i could play B.A.T. again 😹.
    I played it a lot as a kid on my Amiga 500 back in the early 1990's.
    Also, it might be awesome to find it in the original box release for my collection 😺👍🕹️.
    AMIGA FOREVER 😺👍🕹️!
    COMMODORE 64 FOREVER 😺👍🕹️!
    A big retrospective like 👍🕹️

      I’m pretty sure you can play it online. Using a browser. Failing that you could buy the new A500 Mini 😉 there’s a link to it in one of my Amiga vids ruclips.net/video/SVg7l7AkYfM/видео.htmlsi=bISd-oZFXsSgfgKr

    Batman the Movie was the first game i saw on the Amiga, i had a ZX Spectrum at the time and i'd just played through Batman on it (loved it) but seeing it on my friends new Amiga blew my mind. Also saw New Zealand Story on the same day, it convinced me i needed to get an Amiga :)

    • @ClassicReplay
      @ClassicReplay  Год назад

      Same thing happened to me, Batman plays so well. It looks great as well, especially later on. The ZX Spectrum version is also amazing 😻

      New Zealand story was arcade perfect in my opinion.

    • @ClassicReplay

      You should try Rainbow Islands, Pang and Rod Land. Unbelievable at the time as well.

    Everyone has their top games, and the Amiga has ~10000 games and counting! On your list, IDK the first two and F-16 (F/A-18 Interceptor and Bomber got lots of play time here). The others are well known to many Amiga fans, I think. On your list, Lemmings, Fire & Ice, IK+, and Lotus got a decent amount of play time here, and the others none except Defender of the Crown and Eye of the Beholder a couple of times.

    loved Alien 3 on the Amiga, a fine conversion. Found out years later after getting into emulation that the Megadrive version was far better, but the bones are there :)

    • @ClassicReplay

      Yes, gameplay just as good. No issues, really great game.

      Almost the same tbh, the snes version is very different though, not sure if I like it more, but the gfx are surely better

    • @gravious
      @gravious Год назад

      @otherreality your not wrong, the main difference is a few more colors, better scrolling, parallax scrolling g and multi button joypad

    • @pnvgordinho

      The SNES version is the better one.

      Not a bad collection really, and it's partly subjective really as well as partly objective.
      I don't agree with all the choices but that doesn't make them bad choices 👍
