The games

The disks to die for

THE AMIGA HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE HEART OF GAMES DEVELOPERS AS WELL AS PLAYERS. WE ASKED THE PEOPLE BEHIND A VARIETY OF CLASSIC AMIGA GAMES TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE PLATFORM, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM 40 YEARS ON

BETWEEN 1985 AND 1994, COMMODORE LAUNCHED AN ABUNDANCE OF AMIGA MODELS FEATURING CONSTANTLY EVOLVING TECHNOLOGY. THESE INNOVATIVE MACHINES – PARTICULARLY THE ICONIC AMIGA 500 – REACHED MILLIONS OF HOUSEHOLDS AROUND THE WORLD, HAVING A SEISMIC IMPACT ON THE HOME-COMPUTING LANDSCAPE

IN 1985, COMMODORE LAUNCHED A POWERHOUSE 16-BIT COMPUTER PLATFORM THAT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME, AND HOSTED MANY ALL-TIME CLASSIC GAMES. FORTY YEARS ON, WE SPEAK TO DEVELOPERS AND FANS TO CELEBRATE A FAMILY OF COMPUTERS THAT HAS BECOME SIMPLY TIMELESS

THERE ARE SOME GAMES THAT JUST MAKE SYSTEMS SING, DEFINING GENRES AND SETTING UP THEIR DEVELOPERS FOR FUTURE SUCCESS. HERE ARE OUR PICKS FOR TEN GAMES THAT REPRESENT THE ABSOLUTE CREAM OF THE CROP FROM THE AMIGA’S VAST LIBRARY
