Retro: Best of the Miggy
Fri, 28 Oct 2005

As with some of my other 'best of' lists (see here) I made a post on one of my favourite little message boards to find out what folks thought were the best of breed for a given platform - in this case, the Commodore Amiga. Certainly this isn't as hardcore as making a voting website with account registration and blah blah blah, but its a good way to get a list of games recommended when you're a newbie to a given platform. So without further ado, heres a tally of the responses - the leading number is the number of times mentioned in the thread for the given game. I hope you find the list useful!
