Turrican 2: The Final Fight (Factor 5/Rainbow Arts, 1991) is one of the best action games ever, even to this day. Made in Germany: Manfred Trenz (design), Chris Huelsbeck (music), Andreas Escher (graphics) created a near perfect game. The intro alone sucks you in instantly with Chris Huelsbeck's abolutely genius tracks, especially the pace switch at the 0:18 mark. It "only" sold around 50,000 copies across all systems, but if you ask any old school Amiga gamer, they'll probably tell you they've played (and loved) Turrican II. If there was an all-time Amiga top 50 games list, I would easily include Turrican II in i. Would you?

I absolutely love Disney Illusion Island. In addition to off the charts production value and fun factor, I am giving it a 5/5 for achieving it's goal of being the best entry point for young/new gamers to fall in love with Metroidvanias the same way Pokemon did for RPGs.

The Last Ninja (1987) by System 3 is considered to be the best selling game ever for the C64 with 2 million units sold. Not the most complex game in history, but possible one with the biggest "wow" factor when first playing it, seeing incredibly beautiful pixel art graphics, one of the best soundtracks ever (Ben Daglish, Anthony Lees), and just hitting perfectly on that 80s Karate and Kung-Fu vibe, which probably captured every teenage boy's mind at the time. Closing in on 40 years and The Last Ninja still gives me nerd chills more than any other game.

Official Babylon 5 episodes on YouTube every week (link in comments). Why is this significant to Commodore fans? (You might want to bookmark this) The Amiga 2000's Role in Babylon 5's Special Effects (read the full article: In the annals of television history, few shows leveraged technology as innovatively as Babylon 5. The series, which aired from 1993 to 1998, was groundbreaking not only for its storytelling but also for its pioneering use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). A key component in this visual revolution was the often-overlooked Commodore Amiga 2000. The Babylon 5 Amiga 2000 Setup Explained • Hardware: The Amiga 2000 was a major upgrade from earlier Amiga models, with an open architecture that allowed extensive hardware enhancements. It was powered by the Motorola 68000-series CPU, with options for further upgrades. • Video Toaster: This video effects card, designed specifically for the Commodore Amiga, included a genlock for broadcast-quality video synchronization, a framebuffer for real-time effects, and LightWave 3D software for 3D modelling and animation. • Networked Computing: Foundation Imaging, the special effects house for Babylon 5, networked 24 Commodore Amiga 2000s to form a render farm. This setup enabled parallel processing of CGI frames, dramatically speeding up the rendering process. Did you watch it? Are you going to watch it? Check out this making of Babylon 5 video too where they show the Amiga 2000 in operation!

WRONG WAY DRIVER for the Commodore Amiga was coded in C++20 as a test project (by Pink^Abyss) to see if it would work on the Amiga 500 (it did). Looks and feels like a modern indie mini-game and is quite polished, featuring neat music and stylish art. #AmigaReposts #gamedev
