    I still have yet to download everything recommended in the ZX Spectrum thread but I figured I'd start opening up the field to Amiga and C64 as well.
    Same as with the Speccy preference is leaning towards games that took advantage of the sound chips.
    Also all genres are welcome, But racing games for both are probably what I'll be playing the most of. But Platformers and wacky undefineable games are wanted as well.

    Amiga:
    North and south
    Ugh!
    Cannon fodder
    Lemmings

    C64:
    Creatures
    Sensitive

    Few off the top of my head without much thought required.

    a racing game I enjoyed a lot back in the days on c64 was power drift. really good conversion for being on the c64.
    I higly recommend metal warrior 1-4 and hessian, "new" c64 games made by cadaver from 2000 till this year. they're amazing for plot, gameplay, etc.

    Only "racing" game I liked back then was Hotwheels. You could custom paint your vehicle and drive it on the highway. I can't recall what else you could do.

    One of my favorite games on the C64 was Ghostbusters ("hahahahahahaha"). It has a driving element to it, too.

    Impossible Mission on the C64 is my favorite. Good if you want wacky platformers with great sound.

    Apidya and X-Out were fun shmups, played a lot of Xenon II for the sound track too. Turrican 1&2 were awesome. Team 17 games were pretty astounding.
    Check out 'It Came from the Desert'. I loved that game so much!
    All Amiga as I went from Speccy to Atari ST to Amiga, skipped the C64 lol

    Yeah I'm emulating Speccy C64 AND Amiga. The Raspberry pi is a British PC itself after all.

    GOH: If you are into roleplaying games, that are not JRPGs. then there are the SSI roleplaying games.

    Pool of Radiance
    Curse of the Azure Bonds
    Champions of Krynn
    Secret of the Silverblades
    Death Knights of Krynn
    Gateway to the Savage Frontier

    And quite a few of them are also on the Amiga. So have fun.

    Hmm suddenly I thought about The Bards Tale trilogy/series, and Dragon Wars. Where you can/could import your Bards Tale characters into the game. And also , the games I mentioned are both on the C64 and the Amiga :)

    I'm starting to think maybe I should gather up all the Amiga games again. For the time being I'm concentrating on the C64 and Speccy I'll book mark this thread for when I get Amiga going on the Pi3.
