    True, but if you see it like that, many console games are just ports from arcades.

    Not in many years they haven't been. Even the Amiga ports of most arcade games were somewhat different than the arcade versions. In any event, it's pretty clear this guy wasn't an Amiga user back in the day as I don't think many people would claim the Amiga ports of Civilization or Dune II were some of the best games on the system.

    I think it's the opposite -- he may have been an Amiga user back in the day, but he doesn't care about it now. Civilization and Dune II are great games. If your only system back then was an Amiga, you played the Amiga versions and you likely have nostalgia for playing them on Amiga. Whereas the real reason to celebrate Amiga today is for the games that set it apart -- either unique to Amiga, or best on Amiga. Most people who care about the Amiga today, and aren't just taking a trip down memory lane, would be talking about those games.

    I'd add Moonstone, Covert Action and Captive to the list. Sank a huge amount of time into the latter.

    Wow, people angrily disagree with a top 10 list. That almost NEVER happens.

    An Amiga top 10 list without a single Lotus game is no top 10 list.
