Top-down shooter that takes everything it can from the movie Aliens. Clean out each level of the space station and then take the lift down to the next one. You collect money that can be used to buy weapons or more ammo for all the aliens that keep spawning from the holes in the ground. Keys are needed for doors and some doors are one way so one need to be careful to not get stuck in a room with no keys . The only thing I really dislike about the game is that every levels end in a timed run to the lift. If you fail it is game over no matter how many re-spawns you had left.
Alien Breed: Tower Assault

Another World
Side-scrolling adventure game where your avatar is transported to another world and you need to try to survive in it. Not much guidelines so you really have to guess what to do next and die and try again. Art style might be fun in 91 but all that is left now is a boring game.

Short game that is extented into infinity by classic 80's style difficulty. Games where you jump is not my thing.

Carrier Command
Control your carrier and use it to take over islands so you get enough power to find and destroy the other carrier. The movie is not done by me (none of the movies i link to are) but it provides a good overview of the game.
Chambers of Shaolin
This fighting game is made up of two parts and in the first you train you characters skills for the tournament in the second part of the game. Training is done by many exercises such as balancing on trees and dodging someone attacking you with a stick. The better you do the more strength and stamina you will have in the tournament. Fighting in the tournament is similar to many other fighting games were you kick your way to the next level. Training is not friendly for your joystick so you needs a whole box of tac-2?s to play games like this.

Puzzle solving on a time limit is not my favorite thing but this game is still a bit ;) fun. Solve the puzzles and collect all the chips in each level to move on to the next.
Chuck rock
Another platformer with the goal to save your girl, this time as the caveman Chuck. Belly punch stange creatures and throw rocks at them. The band playing in the main menu is more fun then playing the game.
City Defence
In this game you have two defense towers and you select the one to shoot from with the mouse buttons. The goal is to shoot down the incoming missiles so they don?t destroy any of your towns. It all goes on wave after wave and each one is a little faster. Not a fun game at all really :(.

Arcade style adventure game based on the movie. You play a vampire and walk around your mansion looking for people to feed on.
Golden axe
Beat-'em-up with support for two players. Select to play as a barbarian, dwarf or amazon and fight your way to final foe, Death-Adder. I like that you can knock of riding enemies and steal their steed. Grand Theft Dragon.

In this game you fly a small transport ship inside caves and transport cargo boxes between different airports. You can only take a limited number of boxes and they have different sizes so you need to plan ahead a little so you fly as few runs as possible. There are also unfriendly ships that you need to fight and force fields that try to pull your ship into the cave walls.

Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis
Another point and click Indy game. Same as the last really.

There is also the troubadours that can play songs to boost the skills of all the characters and finally there is the wizard that can use magic.

Enjoy the glorious life of Larry and enter commands to get him to move forward in life.
Lemmings
Guide the not so bright lemmings to the exit. They drop out in the level one by one and then you need to assign task to some of them so they majority of them reach the exit. For example tell one of them to dig a path into a wall, a stair up or to stand and block the others so they don't walk over a cliff edge. You often have a limit on how many of each you can use, say max 9 diggers on a level so you need to plan ahead to keep as many of them safe. If you fail you can always push to bomb key that turn all lemmings into walking bombs that explodes in cute pixel clouds
Lightforce
Puzzle game where you need to use your cars laser cannon to destroy a reactor on each level and then use the exit transporter.

There are also a dragon flying around that like to eat knights and it's best to avoid him at the start if the game.

This was not fun. I set my own goal that I would play until I managed to avoid getting in last place once. Never been so happy to see one of the AI cars get stuck on a wall.

Pandora
Adventure game that runs on a time limit so you need to replay a lot to complete it.
Panza Kick Boxing
Fun fighting game where you can customize your attacks, train and fight your way to victory. Annoying referee that you can't kick down.

Pinball Dreams
Before Battlefield there was pinball games and this is the first one of three that Digital Illusions did for the Amiga. Physics works fine and the table looks nice. The most fun table was the nightmare one.
Pinball Fantasies
Second pinball game from Digital Illusions on the Amiga and i think this is the best of the three. The best table was Stones and Bones. Best graphic in this to as i think they added to much clutter in the next game.
Pinball Illusion
Last pinball game for the Amiga from Digital Illusions. This game has three tables to pick from and i liked BabeWatch the most. They also had learned some basic 3D when they made this game and the knowledge was used to create the most ugly main menu possible.
Pinball Wizard
Pinball games are really not my thing. I know some people wish to have a pinball machine at home but i think it is painful enough to have one on the computer. This is one of the first Amiga pinball games, from 1987 and there is not much to enjoy in this game. One board only and large part of the screen is wasted on a stupid score and settings display. The gameplay do not work that well when the ball bounce around like a cube made out of tar.
Pipe mania
Build a pipe for fluid as long as possible from a parts that you get. When the fluid starts to flow you need it to not leak for a certain amount of pipe segments to get to the next level. Fun but takes a number of tries to get how to play.

Take on the pantheon of Greek gods so that you in the end can put Zeus in his place. More fun powers to use against the people of the world.
Ports of call
Shipping empire simulator where you get to buy boats and transport cargo from one place to another over the seven seas.

Rainbow islands
Platform game were you use rainbows to walk on and also as a weapons. Hit them with a rainbow in the head

Red Storm Rising
Based on the Tom Clancy book with the same name. Four time periods from 1984 to 1996 with different submarines and weapons available. All put you in the role of a submarine in the Norwegian Sea fighting World War III. Try to make NATO win or end up as a prisoner to USSR.
Rick Dangerous
Indiana Jones inspired platformer- You need to memorize each step to avoid falling into a deathtrap in the next screen. It's possible that this game is responsible for my dislike of platform games. I like the over the top scream when a enemy fly off screen.

The United States has collapsed and the roads are filled with gangs that drive around with guns and shoot at anyone. You start of with a small gang and the goal is to create a army so you can fight the other gangs.

Most of the time is spent hunting for oil, food and other supplies. On the tactical map you move your cars and decide who should shoot at what and when.

Stunts
3D car racing simulation with loops and jumps. I flip over and crash even if the ground is flat but now i have an excuse.

Top-down race game where you can also drop mine's and shoot missiles after your opponents. Nice with split screen against another player but as always car games are not that fun.
Super off road

In the game one assume the role of Gaybrush Threepwood, a young man that try to get into a career as a pirate.

Never been a fan of this kinds of game really, some fun parts but overall I find it tiresome to pickup random items and guess my way to the answer.
