I have wanted to do this a half-dozen times over the last decade. I even kept my amiga disk collection for years until I was able to get them all as digital archives. I still have that archive, with literally hundreds of games.
This, of course, is why I have never actually gone and built a “new” Amiga to play these on (or kept an emulator around for extended periods). Because I am 100% certain such a thing would become my entire life.
I owned so many Amiga since it was also my early career. I even had a rare Amiga CD32 with the MPEG2 adaptor to play Video CDs. The real Amiga gaming platform!
Since we’re talking Amigas, and in the spirit of my C64 List, here’s my fave Amiga games, in no particular order, most of which will be no brainers:
- Lemmings
- Mechforce
- Giana Sisters
- Beneath a Steel Sky
- Warlords
- Dungeon Master
- Balance of Power
- Champions of Krynn (or any of the SSI games, really)
- Populous
- The Settlers
Also at the time, a lot of PC games had better conversions on Amiga, which at the time had better graphics, namely Simcity, Dune II, Syndicate and the like.
