   The best game out (IMHO) is Turrican, I heard about it here by chance, and
I must say it is one of the all time great amiga games.  It is similar to
The Plague, same company, but its is much more playable, the screen update is
unbelievable.
   I tried Escape.... but found it to be not that great, I liked the arcade
version, but this is only so-so.  Klax is an alright port of the arcade version,
if you like the arcade version you will probably like the ami version.
I also tried Treasure Trap, and it has good graphics and is pretty good, can't
remember why I didn't buy it....
