Skidmarks! (and SuperSkidmarks, etc). Bubble Heroes (the recent game) was
too I think. Or perhaps it was Bust-A-Move (or is that something else?)?
Oh, and that Charlie Chimp crap that won the Amiga Format game competition
(instead of Worms - hahahahahahah!!!). Foundation was too. There have been
a few others, but I don't think it's something people normally let on about
and I can't remember any others.
You could include the Blitz PD disks, I mean they weren't huge, but some of
the games were good fun. And I guess if you have any back copies of Amiga
Format, the Readers Wives (or was that Games? ;) section normally mentioned
what each game was written in. Curt Esser put a lot of effort into Crazy8's
(his card game in Blitz) and it's a good quality piece of software.
IIRC Mark Sibly used Blitz to prototype Gloom and Guardian, but then wrote
the actual games in ASM once he got the basic thing working.
Pagan were using Blitz to write Dafel, but I reckon they're not using it
any more. Counterstrike (from BlueBlack) also started in Blitz but again,
they're not using it any more.
There's also a slew of promising but unfinished games on Aminet dev/basic.
And I guess you could check out the Blitz Developer site at
http://home.freiepresse.de/jubee/BBLIST_E.HTM and see if any of those
projects are still going on.
Oh, and some mad people use it as a scientific tool -
