Amiga Party Games that Nails the Weekend

Barbarian Plus

This is one of the best Barbarian Plus fan remakes of the classic Barbarian, The Ultimate Warrior. It aims to improve on the original C64 post with better graphics and music, more scenes, boss fights, and more warrior types. The game also features one and two-player. It is set in a fantasy world but it is violent. It is fun though and I highly recommend it.

Blitz Bombers

A perfect Bomberman clone. Blitz Bombers is adorable, fun, and got lots of action. Make sure you have time. You can play up to 4 players. The game is very good and you will not be bored. You place the bombs to make the other player suffer. There are lots of power-ups to pick up during the game. Also, there is a nice 1-player mode with quests that you have to do. Fun all the way. The game is 98% done so you can expect some issues. But I haven’t found any. Just make sure that you have enough Chip RAM when starting the game.

PONG4K

A very advanced breakout clone. It takes the genre further by even adding 4 Player support. PONG4K is a remarkable multiplayer party Pong game that’s more than just a clone! PONG4K for all Amiga AGA computers with CD32 compatibility is a fantastic game. This game has a revolving object in the center of the screen that if hit incorrectly can cause the ball to smack back into your own goal!PONG4K sports a stunning soundtrack that demands the volume control to be turned up, the graphics give it that dystopian sci-fi vibe, and what’s more, unlike the original Pong.

PONG4K is a fantastic party game that came out back in 2018. The game came 3rd at RetroKomp 2018. Now its your turn to give it a go.

Roketz

This is a fantastic PAL AGA-only shoot-em-up that is so good in multiplayer mode. You have various spaceships, weapons, and the adrenaline just pumping a lot when you play. Weapons can do many different types of damages too. This is a perfect party game. Turboraketti which you also find on this list is the most known game on the Amiga, but Roketz deserves to be mentioned as much too

Had fun playing Tetris before? This is the game from New Zealand that takes Tetris gaming fun to a new level. Yes, it even brings a breakout to Tetris even. Graphics are awesome, the smoothness of Tetris bricks rotating is impressive. Music and sounds are perfect party elements too. Up to 3-players at once can battle against each other. It is fun to destroy each playground, sending blob-eating blocks creatures at the players or just damage the other player’s playfield. This game deserves Love!

Viper AGA

Viper AGA for Amiga computers with AGA chipset, you play 3 players against each other. The full version allows 6 players, but getting this game registered now is not possible. The task in this game is to win by going through as many holes that the worms are making on the screen. You can go through your competitor’s holes and your own. Once some of the competitors die, the speed of the remaining players increases so it becomes harder for them. You can bounce of the 4 walls in the area that you are playing once. All of the players use the same Amiga keyboard. Multi-pressing in this game works nicely, so don’t be afraid of lags. Viper AGA is a perfect Party game that gives you hours of fun. Warning! You can get addicted to this game. Also. You can play against the computer also. Just click on the color until C letter appears. Enjoy this game!
