The Amiga Games Database

Welcome to the Amiga Games Database. It's purpose is to provide Amiga games players with an informed but subjective opinion on a wide range of games. A vast amount of Amiga titles have been written, some of them more than a decade ago. We've all come across some awful software in our time, but for many of us, there's a surprising quantity of undiscovered classic Amiga games out there. The AGDB is here to help you identify them. It is not here to help you find pirated games so please don't ask.

AGDB Help Request:
The AGDB has stormed past the crucial 500 review point, and stands snarling defiantly atop a huge block of credibility, nevertheless I'd still really like to see the following reviews included: KGB, The Big Red Adventure, Bat 1 or 2, Killing Cloud, ArmourGeddon 2, Moonfall, and When Two Worlds War.
BTW, can anyone help me locate the game "Tech"?

Quote of the month:
"You'll find yourself questioning the whole concept of "good vs evil", and realise that ours is not the only planet plagued by prejudice. It's a rare and wonderful piece of software that makes you contemplate your own humanity."
David Woolley on Ultima VI

You can review any Amiga game you like, commercial or PD but please avoid the games on the Overkill list, which have already got three reviews each. If you're really stuck for ideas you might want to look at the Suggestions list.
