Amiga Commodore: These were the best games
Colorful pixels, huge floppy disks and wonderful memories of lots of gaming fun. Commodore's Amiga made computer games socially acceptable for the first time. The A-1000 came onto the market in 1985, at a very high price (more than 3,000 Deutschmarks) and with some difficulties. With the A-500, Commodore hit the bull's eye in 1987 and brought out an affordable (around 1,000 Deutschmarks) and revolutionary computer for the time.
He had an enormous capacity, thanks to a graphics and sound chip developed in-housemodern interfaces and advanced operation with the mouse. The disks also loaded by themselves after insertion - the games did not have to be called up laboriously via commands. The Amiga A-500 made it possible for the masses to play games at home and many entertaining games appeared in the years that followed.

Amiga A-500: Revolutionary in the field of multiplayer games
The special feature was that two joystick ports were installed in the A-500, making it possible to play against each other. Games with a split screen further increased the gaming fun and made interactive computer gaming against friends in the living room at home possible.
Today it is normal that everything can be solved via the Internet. You no longer have to see each other to communicate and you don't even have to leave the house to play in a casino, for example. Online casinos make this possible and even changes in the law don't bother the industry. So there are Online casino bonuses despite new gambling regulations in Switzerland and users can continue to play unperturbed from their home computer or smartphone. This type of gaming was not possible in the past. However, the Amiga has made a valuable contribution to the development of multiplayer games and shared gaming.
A-500: A success story for Commodore
In the 90s, the IBM PC began its triumphal march and ousted Amiga from the market. However, with five million units produced in six years, the A-500 was an absolute success story. Even today, old computers and old games are still traded on Ebay. Real PC game lovers know the Amiga despite of modern games for Windows or the numerous games consoles.
 
The games were simple, light-hearted and offered plenty of room for interpersonal conversations thanks to long loading times and playing together in front of the same screen.
One game is still often mentioned today when it comes to revolutionary computer games from that time: "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis".

Cult game: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The role-playing game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" was released in June 1992 and thrilled with lots of fun and action around the cult figure Indiana Jones. It is still considered THE game that every Indiana Jones fan should have played. It is not based on any movie and revolves around the legendary city of Atlantis.

The special feature of the game is that there are various decision options for the player in the middle section, which influence the outcome of the game in different ways. While this is commonplace in many games today, it was new for the time and had a huge impact on the replay value of "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis". You had to play the game at least three times to get to know all the variants, which meant that it offered a long period of entertainment.
3 more classics for the A-500
Other games that provided a lot of computer gaming fun in the 90s were these 3:

1. Worms

Simple graphics, the absurd idea of equipping worms with machine guns and bombs and exploding sheep. What sounds barbaric was a lot of fun in the pixelated Amiga graphics and made an action-packed multiplayer game against each other possible.

2. Sim City

The era of Sim games began with Sim City for the A-500. Planning a city, acting with patience and using the available resources wisely: These are the challenges of the classic game Sim City from 1989, which was followed by many more Sim City games in ever new versions.

3. International Karate +

A simple martial arts game that was first released in 1987 and was also designed as a multiplayer game, was "International Karate +". In addition to the various kicks that could be executed with the joystick, there were also intermediate rounds in which the player had to fend off balls and kick away bombs. The opponent could be rendered harmless with just one hit. If there was no physical person present to play against, the game could be played against the computer.
