Lord Mushroom Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) I am looking for good 2 player co-op or 3+ player games for Amiga which don´t have a better version on another platform. I consider racing games where both players can play in the story/tournament mode to be co-op. So far I have the following games: Banshee Battle Squadron Blood Money Deluxe Galaga Deluxe Pac-Man Gauntlet 3: The Final Quest Jupiter´s Masterdrive Rod Land Swiv Edited August 4, 2021 by Lord Mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus2097 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Alien Breed series have good co-op modes, as does the Chaos Engine. I haven't played them on other platforms though so I don't know how they compare. Worms is on every platform under the sun of course, but Worms: Director's Cut is an Amiga exclusive, and the best version of the original Worms there is (some might say the best of all Worms versions). Banshee is excellent for co-op, but you've mentioned that already. Super Skidmarks supports 4 players, or up to 8 players with linked machines. They're not co-op, but Lemmings and Settlers both have split screen 2-player competitive modes, which I don't think was an option on other platforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem better than on other platforms, so they are going on the list. 2 hours ago, Daedalus2097 said: Worms is on every platform under the sun of course, but Worms: Director's Cut is an Amiga exclusive, and the best version of the original Worms there is (some might say the best of all Worms versions). I would prefer to save all those new weapons for Worms World Party, so I am sticking to the PC version. 2 hours ago, Daedalus2097 said: Super Skidmarks supports 4 players, or up to 8 players with linked machines. It seems better than the Mega Drive version, so it is going on the list as well. The Mega Drive version has better music, though. I especially like the music for the results: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mushroom Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have been going through the list of Amiga exclusives, and the following games were good enough to make it to my list: Apidya Uridium 2 Xtreme Racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mushroom Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I have also found Watchtower and Nitro. Edited August 26, 2021 by Lord Mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I see SWIV got a mention. I would also suggest its predecessor (spiritually)Silkworm. Edited September 1, 2021 by Lord Innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike SWIV, Silkworm has an arcade version, which I assume is better than the Amiga version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mushroom Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 2 hours ago, youxia said: Lotus Esprit Thanks. I thought the Lotus games only had a limited (versus) multiplayer mode, but apparently not. That means Lotus 2 and 3 are going to end up on a list as well. I just have to check out which versions are the best. I will also check out the other 3 games you named, to confirm that they meet the requirements. I just don´t have time right now.

Depends on your point of view. I felt that the Amiga version played better due to the smaller sprites giving more room to move around. Plus those sound effects just blow the arcade version away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched You Tube clips of both versions, and my initial reaction is that you are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 One game I used to play bitd was Projectyle punlished by EA. A kind of top down air hockey type game for up to 3 players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mushroom Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 I am of course going to play the Lotus games in multiplayer, but having seen a video of Lotus 1 in single player, I imagine it must be very annoying to watch the mechanics moving at the bottom of the screen.
