I was blown away by Shadow Of The Beast on the Amiga, back in the day.

But it had very shallow and quite annoying gameplay underneath all the stunning graphics and sounds. The way enemies approached and the way you specifically had to kill them, didn't help. It came on multiple discs which you had to swap at game over IIRC and game over came very quickly after game start for me lol.

I loaded it up to play more than the gameplay deserve, but I could resist loading it to marvel at the graphics and sound, just hoping, I would actually get good at the game.

Ghouls and Ghosts I never played on the Amiga, but Ghosts and Goblins, I did and it was a very good conversion, I completed that game on the C64.

Haha, games like strip poker and another, Bedroom Olympics (or some similar named game)  spring to mind. That was a joystick rattler if I remember but if you plugged a mouse in the joystick port instead, it was much easier to get to the next level.

Yeah, I had the Amiga and my best mate had the St.... Gfx on Amiga for SOTB were definitely smoother, better definition but would he have it? No, in his opinion the St game was better and smoother. Pffft

All the Turrican games on the Amiga, great graphics and some of the best music produced for a home computer pre PC. I don't think you'll get better versions. 

Unlike other games where the sequels either did more of the same or just got stale, this series didn't and Turrican 3, was every bit as good if not better than the first.

Can't remember which one had it in it, either 2 or 3 or possibly both, but there was a part where you left the Turrican suit and got in a aircraft for a level or part of it, I remember the music and action was particularly exhilarating for the time.

I've tried to play them emulated, but it's one of those games, where you do need your Amiga type joystick to play them, trying to play with an Xbox pad or similar, just doesn't cut the mustard, or I might just be shite at games, I was once good at.

I have got the competition pro C64 stick now, they bought out a while back, so might give them a go again.
