Doodlebug: Bug Bash II
1992
Doodlebug is a side-scrolling platform sequel to Bug Bash. Your aim as the "Doodlebug" is to make your way through five different levels (with three sub-levels each), killing baddies by jumping on their heads until you eventually make it to the final baddie. The most unique thing about this game is the novel theme at its centre: You can choose between five different coloured pencils to throw at your baddies (presuming you've picked some up). If the pencil's flight path is uninterrupted then they'll draw a useful item for you: Either an Umbrella (for long falls), Ball (to be able to jump onto higher platforms), a Potion (invincibility), a Clock (stops time) and an Eraser (kills everything on screen).Violator

Tiny Troops where war is fantastic! War has been raging on AgarisIV for the better part of 500 years. The Klutes and the Furfurians are fighting for.... for the right to.... so they could..... well, just fight really. But all this fighting has destroyed their planet so the two sides fled to a new world some 300 million light years away. The people of Earth were blissfully unaware that the continuing war raged beneath their feet as the Tiny Troops are only 2 milimeters high and as such the ant sized creatures battled in gardens, toy rooms, on beaches, in kitchens, and no one ever knew!Citadel

WoF is probably the first commercial 3D racing game on the Amiga to use a voxel landscape, the kind of technology first made famous by Comanche on the PC. The undulating landscape is made up of chunky voxels. The cars themselves and objects such as trees are 3D rendered bitmaps. Polygon objects making up the rest of the screen. You have the option of running practice laps or taking part in the 15-course championship. Weather conditions are varied. Between rounds, you can tune up your car. You can save and resume your career to disk.Amiganoid

Alien Strike
1987
Alien Strike makes use of digitized images, music, and speech, which is noteworthy for a 1987 release. The in-game screen is separated by a line into two sides. Each player controls a jet. You have to shoot the carriers and ships on your enemy's side of the screen while preventing the other player from destroying yours. The game speed is insanely high. You probably won't stand any chance against the computer, but with two players, this could be fun for a short while.Alien Bash

Aliantor is a Defender variant, but instead of side-scrolling in a 3D-environment. Besides the usual alien attack on a space station there is no background story. The player is cast as the only defender of the eight inhabitants and has to prevent them from being kidnapped by the aliens. Each of the levels can be freely navigated (the ship's speed is automatically throttled when the invisible walls are reached) and the inhabitants stand around on pre-defined places. The aliens have various ship types with different behaviour patterns which either try to destroy the player's ship or collect the inhabitants and bring them into the aliens' invincible station. There they are transformed into especially powerful enemies (mutants). Besides the first-person view on environment, there are some instruments at the bottom of the screen, e.g. a list of present enemy types, a radar, speed, altitude or shield level. The latter represents the life energy and causes death when fully depleted. Additional lives are gained after eaAli Baba

This is one of the games that came with Amiga Forever, which I highly recommend. I'd define it as slow, sluggish and unresponsive, which is a shame, as the game is an obvious homage to Racing Destruction Set. There is a large number of user-created tracks included, and you can make your own. You can even adjust the gravity (on top of the default "earth" mode, the gravity on tracks can be that of any of the other planets, the moon or the sun). If they had gotten the controls right, this could have been something to write home about.
