Just thought I'd pass along a few of my favorites (Since I work in a store that
sells Amiga software I see almost everything that comes out)

Dungeon Master - Probably the best game I've ever played.  Great Fun for role-
playing fans. Ayone looking for a D&D type game should pick this up.

Drakkhen - a close second, also an excellent role-playing game with better 
graphics than dungeon master, but not as good sound.

Shadow of the Beast - I think this is probably the best arcade game I have 
ever played on the Amiga.  Unfortunately I had to put my copy back on the 
shelf because it would only boot about 3 out of every ten times on my A1000.
(worked great on the A500 up at the store though!)

Empire - great strategy game, me and my friends have burned HOURS on this.  The
graphics aren't spectacular, but the game is very interesting. If you like RISK
and games like that, you'll love it.

Faery Tale - Never beat it, but I played for hours, an all time classic.

Speedball - Great two player action-arcade game.

Mindwalker - Neat game, I played it all the way thourgh (it's even system -
friendly !)

SOme other stuff I've seen recently.

The Running Man - don't know if it's released in the US yet, some pirate-dude 
in our users group showed it to me. Cool graphics, but I couldn't get very
far. (got killed after killing some hockey dude)

North and South - Well done strategy game - really neat graphics

X-OUT - Nice looking Horizontal-scrolling shoot-em-up.  I can't get anywhere
in this D*MN game though.  At the end of the first level, this huge guy wipes
me out.

Champions of Krynn - SOme guy bought this from the store before I got to play.
(luckily he is a friend of mine) I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of another
copy to the store...Great game, true to D&D.
