Well then, while we are on the subject, what games ARE masterpieces?
Shadow of the Beast? ...Looks pretty, the music is excellent, but I think
the playability sucked....the action wasn't really that good. Running around
punching bad guys without much variation....                     
 
I guess I'm kind of getting a little bummed on Amiga games. The graphics
are always neato, and sometimes the music is good, but so many games
are slow, or the get boring quickly....it's always the feel of the action
that is missing from Amiga games. I don't really have time to play
intensive role-playing/adventure games...even Future Wars is getting old.
 
I wish there was something like Street Fighter II on the Amiga. Have you
guys seen this game? (It's a console/arcade game...the kind you have to
put quarters/tokens in and you stand up to play it.) Everytime I play this
thing I think to myself that the Amiga could do graphics like that, but
frankly I am doubtful that the Amiga has the speed to pull off the dynamics.
 
I guess that the only game I've purchased so far, that I still enjoy, is
Turrican. The action was good, there's a lot of stuff to explore and
plenty of variation. The Killing Game Show wasn't nearly as fun (if we
are going to compare platform games) and cost twice as much.
 
I guess I'm in the minority here when it comes to Amiga games....I'm
a little pessimistic...so any flames/suggestions are welcome.
