Oh yes I liked that one!also Settlers. Oh and Diggers,Oscar and Beneath a Steel Sky on the Amiga CD32. 
There was only one level I never completed on Oscar which was the horror one.
Happy days!

Superb, the music rocked!
I still have that and play it by using Amiga Forever on the PC.
I still remember when they used Magic Pockets and Sleepwalker on a Saturday morning TV show where you played it over the phone.
Good times...

MMMmmm - I have 'Elite The New Kind' on Game Boy Advance - Pocket PC and my laptop.... It is a perfect copy of the bbc 'b' version.
Which - by the way - wasn't monochrome - the space section was - but the flight section was colour. Due to some clever mixed mode stuff by braben and bell.
I guess I play the original too much

The Bitmap Brothers were great developers. Chaos Engine, Speedball 1 & 2, Xenon 2 Megablast, Gods, Magic Pockets...
Other top teams were Bullfrog (Syndicate, Populous, Theme Park, etc), Team17 (Alien Breed, Superfrog, Project X, etc) & Sensible Software (Mega-Lo-Mania, SWOS & so on).
The Amiga was brilliant. It's a shame it died.

I have vague memories of that. People would phone up & give directions over the phone?
Frontier: Elite 2...Great game. I think there was a Frontier 2, but it didn't come out on the Amiga?
X2: The Threat (PC) is meant to be quite Elite-ish, I might get that. Anyone played it?

Re: Old Amiga games to play on PC
Cool. I may get X2, then.
Tachyon? I remember that. The one with the voice of Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell? Pretty good game.
Deus Ex 2 - Brilliant game. Not as good as the original, IMO, but still v good.

Re: Old Amiga games to play on PC
Sokay I don't mind you mentioning old games that wern't for the amiga just lets be clear what is an old game.It's got to be at least 5/4 years old surely to be an old classic?
Incog.

Re: Old Amiga games to play on PC
My all time favourite has got to be Red Storm Rising, closely followed by UFO Enemy Unknown, though playing it on a 1500 with only 2M RAM used to take forever on the computers round
I bought the XCOM set for the PC a while back and was really disappointed in it, the graphics were nowhere near as good, bit like Syndicate, the PC version of that was pretty awful as well
