    Not bad, but I would have substituted Sensible Soccer with Hunter (Activision). Classic that.

    This list is total garbage. Several games on there are just Amiga ports from the PC including Civilization, X-com and Dune II and while they're decent, they certainly aren't better than the virtually identical PC releases, especially when you consider the disc swapping that had to occur given that many Amiga users didn't own hard drives in the early 90s.

    There are of course lots of different types of Amiga users. I was gonna say this guy is probably from the U.S. with his choices (ICFTD???!?), but it actually looks like he's a UK man. Anyway, action-loving-guy will always choose Turrican, Xenon 2, etc; boring-strategy-loving-guy will always choose Civ and Dune; adventure-loving-guy will always choose Monkey Island, etc...

    For me, I'd add more Turrican, Robocod, Apidya, Cannon Fodder, Hunter, Stunt Car Racer, Knights of the Sky, and Another World...

    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.
