Kim Justice's Top 100 Commodore Amiga Games of All-Time

Someone screwed up the title on #7..thanks for watchind and hope you enjoyed. Have a look at my Patreon here if you fancy: www.patreon.com/kimblejustice

The Amiga will always be the pinnacle of my gaming life! I started out with handhelds then on to Atari then speccy right through to Xbox-one X. Did the whole pc thing from 486 to modern day too, but nothing has ever come close to being there when the Amiga/St arrived. The state of wonder and excitement of those years will never be surpassed. Amiga has no peers, but you had to be a part of it at the time to in anyway understand :) Anyone who's in there 50s who loved these computers knows exactly where I'm coming from I'm sure :)

Amiga deserves so much more credit in the global retro gaming scene.

This video is like a Christmass for me. 💖 Amiga games has defined my childchood so much. 🤖

Hunter was one of my favs, it was like early GTA where you were in an open world, so many vehicle types available as well.

I love the Amiga and it's always interesting to see what others would list in their top 100 games. I personally would have included - Flashback Another World K240 UFO Enemy Unknown Dune 2 North & South Monkey Island 1 & 2 The Adventures of Robin Hood Sid Meier's Pirates! F1GP Defender of the Crown Gunship 2000 Knights of the Sky Hunter

I'm glad you mentioned Dune 1's amazing soundtrack. Truly is one of the best and most advanced use of Amiga's soundchip.

Some other games that I used to love: Pacmania, Giganoid, Turbo Cup, Virus, World Championship Boxing Manager, Xybots and Fire Power

45:23 You loved Rodland so much that you don't seem to realise that pushing up (or down) with the fire button you can create ladders... :)

This is a video really close to my heart. I went from Spectrum to C64 and then Amiga (which will always be my favourite computer). Thanks for the hard work and wonderful content, Kim. You're an absolute joy and this is just heavenly!

A great video for my favourite computer. Some surprising choices and some even more surprising omissions but then that's the thing with the Amiga, there are so many great games to choose from. I don't think I would have had both Sensible Soccer and Sensible World Of Soccer on the list, just pick one (SWOS) and go with it. Glaring omissions for me are Rainbow Islands, Hired Guns, Eye Of The Beholder 2, Flashback, Kick Off 2, UFO: Enemy Unknown, James Pond 2, Midwinter, F29 Retaliator, Monkey Island 2, North & South, F/A18 Interceptor, Battle Isle, Supremacy, MegaTraveller, Carrier Command, Simon The Sorcerer, Railroad Tycoon. Still its nice to see Flood make the list, love that game.

Kim, you're a GEM of the retrogaming community! Awesome vid. Brings back such good feelings and memories!

Wow...530 a.m. just called in sick and heres a 2hr kim vid!

Before SWOS there was Player Manager based on the Kick Off engine, great game. Kick Off 2 was awesome too once you mastered the controls.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I was an ST kid so only ever played on my mate's Amiga(s) and nostalgia makes me root for the former and gives me some of my warmest memories - but the Amiga's are some of my most beloved systems of all time and I recall fondly being obsessed with "It Came from the Desert" and "Lost Patrol" and both the RTS and point and click Dune games. Also the Amiga is responsible for a shocking amount of my first purchases when I got my first PC such as the Eye of the Beholder games, Syndicate and so on. Indeed a quick look at my GOG library confirms this - a good 70-80% of my games on there I came to by way of the Amiga or having played similar on same. It also indirectly got me into the UFO/Xcom games as my love for Syndicate saw me pick up a bundle box set that included both. I suppose I also would never have got into Warcraft 2 and Command & COnqquer etc if it weren't for Dune, and the Dig made me pick up Broken Sword and a lasting love of Lucasarts adventures. So I will forever love the Amiga if for no other reason than it gave me loads of fun and more importantly informed my opinion and choices going forward and very much along with my first consoles made me the gamer I am today - not bad for a system I never even bloody owned!

Really, really enjoyed this video, Kim! I like the attention you give to each video. You clearly spent time with each game and your massive knowledge of the developers and publishers really adds to my enjoyment. Thank you!!

It's interesting that Kim finds Amiga something like ZX Spectrum, only better. Because I have the same opinion - I believe the reason is because both computers relied on the mandatory hires (bitmap) graphics! Unlike C64! And with some well known games ZX tried to compete with Amiga, so there were decent ports to ZX after all. C64 had it much differently, and hires mode was avoided. ZX games sometimes had really nice monochrome graphics, and its BOBs could move decently smooth if coded well. Scroll was the problem also, but some games had smooth and fast scrolling too. Everything was done in purely software way. Sprites/blitter objects too. But those ZX games never shunned from moving nice looking graphics around, same as Amiga, despite being jerky and all. When Amiga appeared, some features of the hardware reminded on C64 (sprites, raster control via copper), but some were similar to Speccy - bitmap mode, and blitter objects. Crucial thing - Amiga did it with ease, using chipset, full of colors and without attributes. I like to think Amiga actually represented the synergy of C64 and ZX, raised on completely different level. It was ultimate 16 bit computer&console wonder in one package.

Only a couple of days ago I was wondering where this list was and now it's appeared. Exactly the Kim Justice content I was looking for. Good work, thanks.

Hunter, Laser Sqaud, Paradroid 90, Gravity Force or Gravity Power - surprised not to see these feature. Otherwise awesome as I've come to expect from Kim Justice!

I remember going to Makro as a kid and just watching Shadow of the Beast demoing in the store and wondering how I'd be able to get one ....£399 in 1990 (that's £1,000 today). My mate had one and every time I went round I'd be sick with jealousy. It seemed like he'd had it for years before I got mine, his was the batman pack which was out in 1989. The Xmas I got my Amiga (1990 Flight of Fantasy pack) was like pure magic, I paid half towards it with some money that id inherited and I damn well got my money out of it. Xmas day I opened it and booted up Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters and revelled in the graphics. At lunch time my Nan came round and gave me Kick Off 2 which I probably clocked up years of playing time and my Aunt gave me Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road. What a great time, take me the fuck back.
