Obviously owning an Amiga from an early age has led me to have strong views on what exactly makes a good game, so you might as well know. The older the game, the more accurate it's position, in general.
This was updated on January 11th 2000. Because of all the arguments over which games are the best ones, I have simply Labelled the top 12 "classic". I can scarcely differentiate between these masterpieces, so they are listed alphabetically instead of by greatness. They are all fantastic and I recommend them completely. I'd buy them twice if I could (and in the case of Frontier, I actually did).
