    The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. Based on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine has a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. Although early Commodore advertisements attempt to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, especially when outfitted with the Amiga Sidecar PC compatibility add-on, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

    What's great about these videos is that when the ST & Amiga started selling and getting loads of games, I was still around 10 years old and didn't have one.
    I played other peoples ST and Amigas from around 1990, and loved them to bits.
    So - it's great to watch videos like these, that show me the odd game that I never had the chance to sample back in the day.
    I now have a 4MB STe and an Amiga 3000, so I can try all of these games - it's good to see these recommendations!

    Amiga Gauntlet II is identical to the ST release, Gauntlet games on Amiga should look like Gauntlet 4 on the Megadrive. Horizontal scrolling issues aside, Gauntlet 1 on the ST as an exclusive was much nicer than G2 on ST (and therefore Amiga) with it's tiny 16 pixel NES 8bit looking graphics and ZX Spectrum 2 colour floor tiles. The Amiga 1000 was the best computer ever released relative to all competitors at any price, really loved it and it was the best computer in the world compared to rivals on sale...Amiga is not my favourite computer for video games, 90% technically duff releases or no release for Amiga frequent instances but I still used it a lot for Digi-view/Digipaint, Dpaint 3 or Dpaint 4 AGA anims and sound sampling etc. If you had an Amiga 4000/040 in 1992 you could have played F1 at PC 486 33mhz speeds of course....and a 486 with music module and sampled sound card and reasonable SVGA card was not cheaper either.

    In Denmark back then the Amiga costs £558 (5000 DKK) from new. And it was to expensive for me. So i played on my C64 and Nes instead but i got one used after a year or so. and i was just sold! ;) and the rest are history. ps- great video :) and we have a lot of favorit games in common. ( pinbal fantasies, Dreams, Sensible soccer, worms, ect) but my all time favorritte Amiga game are Superfrog. best regards Michael

    When I look at this games after years I think......wow what outstanding good graphics. In my memories the graphics are always not that good! Always fascinating what a great machine the Amiga is! I modded an Amiga 1200 to its limits in the beginning of 2000. I could play Quake 2 and other highend graphic games of that time on it. But nothing is as good as a great round Kick Off, Golden Axe, North and South, Speedball 2, Battle Squaddron and so on with a friend! Outstanding machine......never gets old;-)

    • @ClassicReplay
      @ClassicReplay  Před 2 lety +3

      The SNES version looks superior, moves smoother. But doesn't play it. Same name, different game. The difficulty is insane when compared to the arcade or Amiga. 2 player option scrapped, they removed some of the weapons that were awesome, no idea why. Why on earth does the gun pod fire up on the SNES version, it should fire down. When you die, it's straight back to the map screen. Only three lives and three continues ffs! Different stages as well, crappy sub stage. IMHO ;-)

    • @TechRyze
      @TechRyze Před 2 lety

      SNES UN Squadron isn't even the same game. It should be 'Super' UN Squadron.
      Look at some of the other games, like 'Super' Chase HQ. That isn't Chase HQ.
      SNES existed in its own category, and had some amazing games, but they weren't faithful ports of the classics beyond Street Fighter II, which was iconic.
      The Amiga only suffered from having 1 button games. Commodore didn't understand gaming and its importance to the Amiga's success, or else they would have sorted that out with an official multi-button controller bundle and a scheme to port some of the classics over to multi-button functionality by the time SFII was out in the Arcades.
      Next was the floppy disk, as it was fine until around 1990, but the 800KB capacity became an Achilles heel in the 90s.
      Again, Commodore needed a gaming division - the Amiga 500 Plus should have been a second hardware tier - 1MB RAM minimum, 6 button controller and all bundled games should have the OPTION to install to hard drive.
      Hindsight is 20/20. Ideally that would have been an Amiga tier 2 hardware spec.
      Next would be CD ROM and ideally some 3D graphics hardware along with AGA. Doom pretty much killed off the Amiga, as everyone abandoned ship as the Amiga didn't get Doom while the 1200 was still quite expensive.
