Recommended Commodore Amiga games. Focused more on action/arcade, but as a flexible computer meant for computing, it excels in diverse genres. Missing essentials like Sensible Soccer, F-18 or Dungeon Master, but could do dozens of mini-lists: its library is so rich. #AmigaReposts

Before Sensible Soccer became a legend, this 1989 Commodore Amiga football game changed everything with banana kicks, indoor arenas, and arcade chaos! 5 mind-blowing facts about MicroProse Soccer that prove it was ahead of its time. 1. The Forerunner to a Classic: Developed by Sensible Software (Jon Hare & Chris Yates) for the C64 in 1988 and ported to Amiga in 1989 by Electronic Pencil Company, it directly inspired the legendary Sensible Soccer series. Many call it "Sensible Soccer v0.1". 2. Pioneering Banana Kicks: One of the first games with after-touch! Hold the button and angle your shot for swerving "banana" kicks in three power levels — a game-changer that Kick Off later popularized. 3. Indoor 6-a-Side Mayhem: Besides full 11-a-side outdoor matches, it featured frantic indoor soccer on a smaller pitch with boards (inspired by the real Major Indoor Soccer League). 4. Many retro gamers still argue the C64 original feels snappier (are you one of them), but the Amiga version shines with better graphics and sound. 5. Inspired by an Arcade Hit: Jon Hare based it heavily on the 1985 arcade game Tehkan World Cup (Tecmo), adapting its top-down view and physics for joystick controls while adding original twists. Zzap magazine rated the Amiga version just 62%, did it deserve more?

Before FIFA (EA) took over and monopolized the market, there were quite a lot of football (soccer) games. Some that come to mind: Kick Off, Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, Goal, MicroProse Soccer... and then, of course, probably the most popular one: Sensible World of Soccer from 1994. One of the many things that made it so popular were its controls. You didn't have to be a pro to keep the ball close to you, you could focus much more on passing and shooting. What some of the higher skill ceiling players would probably point out as a weakness, turned out to be what made Sensible World of Soccer the most successful among the home computer world - no other game sold more copies. None. It's one of the games I still load up when old friends come to visit and we nerd out on the Amiga. Sensible World of Soccer has a timeless quality and even over three decades later it still holds up.

In Korea, there weren’t any dedicated Neo Geo arcade cabinets, so I didn’t realize until much later that you could actually select from multiple games like this. It feels like this system was designed less for large arcade centers and more for smaller venues that only had one or two machines but wanted to offer a variety of games. Come to think of it, it might actually be a great choice to have at home even today.

Jay Miner, Father of the Amiga, on how it all began. “Well it was 1982… a friend from Atari came to me and said, ‘Hey Jay, let’s start a new company. I’m tired of this one.’ I said ‘Fine. I’ll do the chips — and I’ll be vice president… as long as I can do the chips MY way.’ My original vision? A low-cost entry into computers… through video games. Games were hot, investors just wanted a console. But I wanted something that could grow into a REAL computer.” Then Dave Morse (ex-Tonka Toys VP) showed up, we set up shop on Scott Blvd, started as “Hi-Toro”… and later became Amiga Corporation. Jay Miner was the Father of Amiga, which would become Commodore Amiga after the company was purchased by Commodore in 1984. What followed was Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 600, 1200, 3000,4000 and a few other models.

I got my Amiga in summer 1986, so it's celebrating its 40th birthday these days. As with so many things in life you often appreciate them more when looking back. The Amiga was a truly remarkable computer, and for several years in the 80s it dominated the market (both in terms of hardware and software sales). Obviously, it did not stand a chance against the shift toward PCs and consoles in the 90s. However, it didn't just fade away over night but still gave us incredible games in its later years. I have long thought about what I personally consider to be the best action platfomer for the Amiga. I know some people will nominate Prince of Persia, but I think if you are more literal with the word action platformer, the vote should go to Turrican 2: The Final Fight. It is now entering its 35th year, being released in 1991, and still looks and sounds absolutely awesome. Super detailed and vibrant graphics, smooth scrolling, great weapon systems, and last but definitely not least, a banger soundtrack by legendary composer Chris Huelsbeck. The game showed what was still possible with the Amiga and easily rivaled even the high end console games of the time. If you ask me, Turrican 2 is the undisputed #1 action platformer for the Amiga. Agree or disagree?

Elon Musk: I taught myself to code from a book, then sold my own games to buy better computers. “When I was about 10, I walked into a computer store in South Africa and saw an actual computer. I previously had some early sort of precursors to the Atari system, and then I got the Atari system, which I'm sure a lot of people here have played. But then I saw you could actually have a computer where you could make your own games, and it was a Commodore VIC-20. So that was the first computer I bought. And then I got some books on how to teach yourself programming. And this was like the coolest thing I'd ever seen. So I was just like, this is super awesome. And so I started programming games and then selling games in order to actually buy more games. So a bit of a circular thing. And more games and better computers and that kind of thing. Basically I'd spend money on better computers and Dungeons and Dragons modules and things like that.” Source: Computer History Museum, Revolutionaries, January 22, 2013.

I get he cracks a fortnite dance or makes a pop culture reference but for every one of those, you get one of these really like actually touching moments. Thing is the purpose of movie sonic is the same purpose sonic has in the games. He changes everyone around him. (they do it in a different way of course but as far as narrative purpose its the same ball park)

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!

I've built a setup in Geometry Nodes to get data from bones, so now I can do things like make Normals from them, and I'm experimenting with much more. The Normal here is basically a cylinder around each bone. So it doesn't work that great around the shoulders, but its great on the arms and legs. Its the same idea as when you do radial/sphere Normals for a face or hair, but for the whole body.

Eurovision is definitely interesting because it shows Europe’s decadence and decay, but watching it is one thing and participating in it is quite another. So why would Russia or any other sane country want to take part in what is little more than a politicized spectacle wrapped in glitter and slogans? Especially when Russia is reviving alternatives like Intervision - a contest that presents itself not as culture wars on stage, but as a platform focused on music rather than ideological messaging. Thanks but no thanks!

When Pole Position hit the market back in 1982, it essentially revolutionized racing games. It was the first to introduce and popularize the "behind the car" third-person perspective, which became the industry standard for racing games ever since. Pretty wild - at least from today's perspective - to see ads from global brands like Marlboro, Martini or Pepsi in an arcade game. But then again, you could also smoke on commercial flights and nobody would tell you "sugar is bad" when you had a Pepsi as a little kid. Pole Position became the #1 arcade game in terms of gross revenue in 1983. No other game came close. And that's saying quite a lot, because 1983 was chock-full of epic arcade games!

It's not reasonable to hyper focus on outlier negative reviews when the aggregate for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is high (Greg gave it a 6.5, Parris a 7, but Meta is 86). But the comments here are interesting and mimic even positive reviews on how its story not gameplay, is the focus. First Hellblade 2, now Indiana Jones. #Xbox is seemingly leaning heavier into cinematic or "movie" like games than #PlayStation this year lol. If anything, these games are far less gameplay focused than PlayStation's tentpole cinematic games. Mind you, the movie game term itself is largely used by fanboys in a demeaning manner. I hope all those who for years criticised or disliked these types of games, keep it consistent lol. As someone who often favours these types of experiences, it has me more, not less hyped. #Xbox #GamePass Credit to James for the video.

Did you know the iconic seaQuest DSV intro was powered by Commodore Amiga? Back in 1993, when CGI was still in its infancy and insanely expensive, Amblin Imaging (Steven Spielberg’s effects house) chose a revolutionary low-cost solution: a render farm of Commodore Amiga 2000 computers running NewTek LightWave 3D and the Video Toaster. All those stunning external shots of the massive seaQuest submarine gliding through the ocean depths? Rendered on Amigas. The show only used about 1.5 minutes of CGI per episode, but it looked groundbreaking for television at the time. They networked dozens of Amigas together to handle the complex underwater visuals — a setup that helped make high-quality 3D effects accessible beyond big Hollywood budgets. This was the same Amiga + LightWave combo that famously powered early seasons of Babylon 5 and other 90s sci-fi hits. The Video Toaster even won an Emmy for Technical Achievement in 1993! The future of TV VFX was built on a machine many still call the greatest home computer ever made. Commodore Amiga — changing the game from your desktop. 🖥️✨ONLY AMIGA MAKES IT POSSIBLE!
