Ahh the good ole Amiga  , got four of the little bleeders (well, ones towered). A500 x1, CD32 (expanded with SX1 and 6Mb) x1, A1200 x2,one with a Viper Accel. (68030 and FPU) one towered with a 68040/250MHZ PPC accel. and Permedia graphics card (all in mint condition and working), aaannnyyway on to the games...Personal favourites - Syndicate Dune 2 Historylines 1914-1918 (I've really too many to list but Hunter (still got an original copy somewhere) and Conqueror are joint third). Most memorable - Dune 2 (played it so much I started having dreams trying to work out strategies for map three). Turrican (1,2 and 3) RoboCod (Once again I've others such as Super Cars 1 and 2, Lotus trilogy, UFO Enemy Unknown amongst many). Best ever? Hmmm, depends on favoured genre, X-out - best side scroller shooter UFO - best strategy (a really difficult one this 'un, hard to choose but this one stands out as the one I played most). Elite 2 Frontier And if you want the worst three games - Rise of the Robots Microcosm Captain Planet There's hundreds of games that I've played and loved over the best part of 16 years, I could spend a small fortune at the retro stores if it wasn't for the fact I need new laptop and desktop machines for work.
Rig 1 - C2Q Q6600 with a Zalman CNPS9700 HSF, 8Gb DDR2 800, 4870 graphics, Asus P5Q Deluxe mobo, X-fi Fatality sound with a 7.1 speaker set up, 320GB Seagate 7200.10x2, 500GB Samsung x1, slot loading DVD-wr x2, Hiper Type-R 580 PSU, running XP home and XP Pro64.

Synidcate! How could I forget the world-altering triumph that was Syndicate! That goes in my list, too. Might have to dig out my PC copy of Syndicate Wars again, now...

Not really got any for the worst section as I tended to just buy stuff that either had great reviews or I knew I would like
Best
Pinball Fantasies
Monkey Island
Superfrog
Rodland
Shufflepuck Cafe
Most memorable
Rocket Ranger (more to running out of fuel a lot)
Project X (for being really difficult)
Indy and the Fate of Atlantis (for constant disk swapping with about 10 floppies)
Loom- hearing swan lake in a computer game

Ahhhh, the good old Amiga days...... the most important topic ever discussed in high school (almost)!
Okay here's my list as suggested in the mag:
Most Memorable: [good]
Chuck Rock (for being silly, and my mum's friend thought it was soooo funny)
Xenon II (game was ok but the music was wicked, perhaps this'll bring back some memories: www.tinyurl.com/nzthw  cool!)
Project X (proved games could look really good with only 32 on screen colours)
Most Memorable: [bad]
Shadow of the Beast II (was literally to scary to play, gave me the heebie jeebies, I think it was the music. oh & remember the 'ten pints' cheat!)
Rise of the Robots ( I remember it as one of the first mega hyped games, that fell flat on it's ****)
Days of Thunder (for being totally unplayable, like 1fps, in fact any 3D game except Stunt Car Racer!) Best Ever:
IK+ (Loved this, and got so good at it)
Speedball 2 (I soooo loved this game!)
Pinball Dreams (played this for hours on end. have the pc version of fantasies somewhere, still great!) Worst Ever:
Kings Quest 5 (couldn't play it for the disk swaps, a waste of £25)
E-Motion (was bored within 10 seconds)
Bart vs the Space Mutants (what a load of rubbish)
My favourite games:
Another World (got really into this, but never completed it)
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge II (usually drove the Elan tho!)
Final Fight (despite amazing slow-down still liked it, & was impressed with the huge sprites)
Other games I liked:
Robocop 2 (was really impressed with the quality of graphics & character animation)
Magic Pockets (good fun and wasn't it on going live or one of those saturday kids shows)
First Samurai (only had the demo but played it lots)
Licence to Kill (got it off a mag and was the first game I played, never got past the first stage tho)
Pit Fighter (was kinda rubbish but I still liked it for some reason)
Total Recall (sprites had big heads)
Switchblade II (ace game. I took the mickey out of my mates ST version too)
Super Off-Road (have this for pc too, awesome!) I may edit and add more, I so loved my Amiga!!!
