Games Software


Ok, so the PC has got "Doom."  But we have got "Alien Breed 3D" and others
which are just as good, and allow you to play two player head-to-head,
which Doom won't do.

Apart from the "first-person perspective" games, look at games like Super
Stardust, Canon Fodder, Lost Eden, TFX, Megarace, Tower Assault, Bloodnet...
the list goes on and on and on.  All these games are better on the Amiga
than on any other platform, particularly the PC which, in general, uses sad
VGA graphics due to the fact that Super VGA takes up huge amounts of memory,
which the average user does not have.  The Amiga however usually uses Hi-Res
graphics, which, as its name suggests, is higher resolution.

In general, though, the Amiga is far superior games wise.  With its
advanced   Graphics   chipset, the Amiga is particularly good
at scrolling games as well as 3D and other games.  Note that the CD32 is
particularly good at 3D graphics due to its Akiko chip.

After all, what computer was it that classics like "Lemmings", "Monkey
Island", "Cannon Fodder", "Sensible Soccer", "Sensible World of Soccer",
"Settlers" and many, many more came out on first?  Yes, it was the Amiga.

However, in general most games will come out on all platforms, although the
graphics in many Amiga games are noticably better than the PC version.
