1 Across 2 Down

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1990

If you like crosswords, this one is really good. The game engine does not have any serious flaws but questionable is function to solve the crossword. All the fun is lost when you solve it and then do it on your own. For me it lacks some challenge mechanism, eg. Elapsed time of solving the crossword, high score table of the fastest solvers. Editor of creating your own crosswords also would be nice an add-on. Still, very good game (if you like such things).

1st Person Pinball

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1989

First Person Pinball is a solid but little-known early pinball game from Tynesoft. Although there is only one table, the game's highlight lies in the ability for up to four players to compete for the high score table, good graphics, and reasonable ball mechanics. Overall, a nice little early pinball title that looks great and plays well, although not in the same league as Macadam Bumper in terms of table design: the First Person Pinball table is quite generic. Great for the sake of completing pinball fans' collection, but doesn't really offer a lot of play value compared to other games.

20000 Leagues Under the Sea

More planets are acquired by attacking them. The result is calculated automatically and is based on...

Seen from a first-person cockpit perspective and utilizing flat-shaded polygonal graphics, waves of aliens advance towards the player and must be destroyed with a laser cannon. Unlike in the originals, the aliens never shoot back: the only danger they pose is that of crashing into the player. If any aliens from a wave survive an attack run by not being destroyed before they pass the player, they will try again and again, until either the entire wave or the player is destroyed. The alien formations...

3D Pool

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1989

3D Pool is one of the earliest 3D cue-sports games, featuring a fully-rotating table and variable viewpoint allowing for much more realistic shot-playing than the traditional top-down game style (although the game can be played this way instead).

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1991

4-D Boxing leaves behind any pretences of being a pure arcade game based on boxing, and aims to recreate the sport in full detail. The graphics engine allows for multiple camera angles and viewpoints, and considerably detailed visuals.

4-Get-It

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1992

4-Get-It is an Puzzle game, developed by Silverfox and published by TTR Development Inc, which was released in Europe in 1992. This is as vigorously playable as anything I've laid hands on lately. The concept is very straightforward: Manipulate tiles so that matching ones wind up side-by-side (They then vanish). Clear the play-field without stranding any tiles, and move on to the next. It's a simple little game at heart, but 4-Get-It uses the Amiga's special gifts to their fullest extent. TTR is on to something wonderful here, and I hope to see more from them.

4th & Inches

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1987

7 Colors

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1991

The color chosen is locked for the opponent for one turn; drawing lines from one border of the field to another fills all the space in between. In addition, boards come in various diamond sizes, color textures and with obstacle stones. A (generous) time limit exerts soft pressure. In the wake of Alexey Pajitnov's block-busting Tetris, Infogrames licensed another Russian mathematician's concept for a game of logics and dexterity: Two players start from opposite ends of a board, filled with rectangles of seven different colors, and take turns in picking one of these colors. All diamonds of...

It's not a mega thrilling 3D shooter, but it does what it says on the box!

The Adventure of Norris

Commodore Amiga - Homebrew - 1991

This is a very tough game with nice graphics, but the game is totally ruined by its controls. Our old pal Norris has a nasty habit of jumping uncontrollably too far then bleeds to death at the slightest thing. Could have been good if you were able to trust the controls more. Object of the game: Collect all the keys, treasure, etc.

Aerial Racers

Commodore Amiga - Homebrew - 1996

This is one of the games that came with Amiga Forever, which I highly recommend. I'd define it as slow, sluggish and unresponsive, which is a shame, as the game is an obvious homage to Racing Destruction Set. There is a large number of user-created tracks included, and you can make your own. You can even adjust the gravity (on top of the default "earth" mode, the gravity on tracks can be that of any of the other planets, the moon or the sun). If they had gotten the controls right, this could have been something to write home about.
