\n\t\t\"Amiga\t<\/div>
The Amiga is 40 years young today (Metro)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GameCentral lists the most iconic games ever made for the Amiga home computer, back in its glory days of the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n

It may not be much of a household name nowadays, but anyone who grew up gaming in the late 80s knows that, here in the UK, the Commodore Amiga<\/a> series of home computers was one of the most popular formats of the time.<\/p>\n

Its success was one of the reasons the belated release of the NES never took off, something which has affected Nintendo\u2019s popularity in the UK ever since. However, once the Mega Drive<\/a> and SNES<\/a> launched in the early 90s, the Amiga slowly became overshadowed and, eventually, all but forgotten, apart from a mini-console release<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Amiga celebrates its 40th anniversary on June 23, but because it was only ever really popular in Europe its legacy is a difficult thing to honour, with only the occasional remaster<\/a> or reboot<\/a> for any of its games. But nevertheless, here are 20 of its most memorable titles \u2013 almost all of which were originally made in the UK.<\/p>\n
