I'll vouch for Psygnosis. If you know anyone with an Amiga, convince them to get Lemmings and see it for yourself. Lemmings is a great game in which you have to guide these stupid (REALLY stupid) purple and green guys (the "Lemmings") to their home. The tricky part is that there are all sorts of traps and pitfalls that can kill them. Your only weapon is the Lemmings themselves, who can dig, build, climb, and block the others, but only when you tell them to. The result is usually mayhem. The graphics are cute, especially when the Lemmings get killed. It's amazing how bloodthirsty you can get just to see what happens to the Lemmings! (Especially when you make a mistake; you can "nuke" the Lemmings and start the level over. Literally!!) All of this is set to toe-tappin' (their description) tunes and great sound FX.
