@docky hmmm maybe it wasn't bomberman then… what was it? or maybe it was bomberman and the license went to ubisoft instead.
I used to love playing North & South with my sister when I was kid. Really whacky game based on the American civil war. Turn based planning phase, then real time pitched battle combat. You control your whole army at once with different buttons for different units. And there is occasional platforming sections for taking over forts and hijacking trains.

@matt Great game! Endless fun tickling the bum of the photographer on the start screen. For an embarrassingly long amount of time North and South was all I knew about the US Civil War.
It’s December again in Amiga-land!
Here is a collection of all the Christmas themed Amiga stuff. I need to check this out and enjoy a 16-bit party with Agnus and Paula.

Time for some necromancy. This could also go into the new games for old hardware thread but I’ll also link to an old game so I decided I’ll post in here.
Reading @humblepopstar’s article on Dan Salvatos in-development game for the Amiga made me look around Dan’s socials and website a bit. I found a newer demo for his game uploaded 5 hours ago!
And I discovered that he has a YouTube video series called Amiga Roulette where he plays a bunch of Amiga games he has on disk in a randomized order.
I felt the urge to share the snippet of him playing Mikro Mortal Tennis, which is a tennis game that references Mortal Kombat and some other games like Pacman? Super weird and interesting!

Amiga platformers tend to be decisive outside of Europe, but I think Zool is a delightful game with some really interesting and unique levels themes and aesthetics and a character that’s really fun and fast paced to control.

This is the only Amiga game i can name off the top of my head. Idk what its reputation is. I have never played it myself but i unreservedly love this game for its batshittery, impenetrable systems, and most importantly its story.
Its called Enemy: Tempest of Violence and IIRC its german dev has roms of the game on their website that you can just download for free.

I’ve never played Zool but recently typed Amiga into the search bar on Steam and there’s a Zool game that came out in 2021 on there.
I can’t really tell from the description if its a brand new game or some form of remastering.
seconding Banshee only because I really want to play it someday - some sort of bizarro world 1943 by the looks of it, and done by Core Design no less. It seems to have been developed for the CD32 so maybe that’s a good fit to test it out!
