Visual Guide to Amiga Games: Cannon Fodder

This week the Visual Guide to Amiga Games, an ongoing coffee table book project by @madsdk, takes a look at a great Sensible Software game. No, it isn't Sensible Soccer, although that was a great title as well. Feast your eyes on the wonder that is Cannon Fodder - and if you haven't already, go play this game now!

Visual Guide to Amiga Games: Defender of the Crown

Defender of the Crown was one of those games you'd show to all your mates when they came around, to show off the superior graphics and sound of the Amiga compared to the ageing Commodore 64. Have a look at those pictures! Hint: To fully appreciate these images, click the cogwheel in the upper right corner and choose "View Full Resolution".

Visual Guide to Amiga Games: Rainbow Islands

This week the Visual Guide to Amiga Games takes a look at one of my personal favourites: Rainbow Islands. The Amiga port of Rainbow Island was done by Andrew Braybrook, and he did a stellar job, creating an almost arcade perfect port.

Visual Guide to Amiga Games: Bubba 'n' Stix

The visual guide to Amiga games is a new feature we'd like to present on this site. The aim of this project is to build a coffee table book presenting a selection of Amiga games in a visually pleasing way. Our dream is that, once the project is done, the book will be printed in a nice hard cover version with beautiful, thick, glossy pages brimming with gaming nostalgia. This should be the kind of book you'd leaf through with your kids, showing them the games you played when at their age; or perhaps a book that you'll show your friends so that you may reminisce about the golden years of Amiga gaming :-)

Each game will have its own spread (two pages) within the book, and these posts will contain a single spread for you to feast your eyes upon. If you have any comments or constructive criticism about the pages shown, please leave a comment to this post. So, without further ado, I present the first game in this series of posts: Bubba 'n' Stix.
