Vote For The Top 10 Games Of 2000

This is the third year that Amiga Flame gives Amiga Gamers the opportunity to vote for the �Best Game of 2000�. This year has been a mixed bag of the great and the not so great and so it will be interesting to discover which game is best this year. I recommend that Gamers select their choice wisely, by reading through the list of games as you only have one vote.

Title	Genre	Developer	Publisher	Description	Vote
Tales From Heaven	First Mario N64 clone	Darkage Software		Darkage Software's first commercial release was to see the first Mario 64 clone reach the Amiga. It was thought to be impossible but Darkage proved them wrong. The demo proved to one of the most talked about demos featured on Amiga Flame with so many gamers downloading the game at the same time, that it overwhelmed the system.
Seaside	Tourist management type game, similar to Theme Park		APC & TCP	Theme Park was one of the hottest games on the Amiga, allowing gamers to manage everything from the rides to the prices of food and drinks. Seaside offered much the same but it didn't live up to the expectations of most reviewers.
Heretic II	Quake style game	Hyperion Software	Titan Computer	Heretic 2, a Quake style game was the first conversion from Hyperion and was highly successful especially with Amiga PowerPC gamers. Both Amiga Format and Amiga Active were impressed.
Foundation: Gold Edition	Real-time strategy game	Paul Burkey	Epic Interactive	Foundation Gold has been described as being almost the unofficial sequel of the original Foundation strategy game. It in fact combines Foundation Directors Cut and Foundation � The undiscovered Land, adding a number of new features such as a full graphic rework with all in-game graphics also improved including character animation, buildings, trees and all other game objects. 40 additional maps were also included.
Joyride	Racing		Titan Computer	Joyride was inspired by Xtreme Racing but was not to be its successor. Unfortunately it received negative reviews from most of the Amiga magazines. However, perhaps there are some gamers who think otherwise.
Code Name Hell Squad	Action Adventure	Digital Dreams Entertainment	Digital Dreams Entertainment	Digital Dreams Entertainment bought the rights to the game back in October from AVM, and it has been truly a worthy second game from Digital Dreams Entertainment (the makers of Wasted Dreams). Code Name Hell Squad is an action adventure game in which you lead a team of four mercenaries, through beautifully hand-drawn backgrounds on a mission to survive.
Bubble Heroes	Puzzle/ Adventure	Arcadia Developments	Crystal Interactive Software	Bubble Heroes a puzzle/ adventure game in the same style as the popular Puzzle Bobble. It was released at the SEAL Show. One Amiga gamer at the show, Gary Storm said Bubble Heroes �is a game very similar to `Bust A Move 2" on the Playstation" and that "anyone who`s played that knows how addictive and fun it is, and "Bubble Heroes" is a fantastic Amiga rendition�.
Virtual Ball Fighters	Puzzle	Xteam Software Solution		Virtual Ball Fighters is a puzzle game for the Amiga in which can have one or two players, features eight characters and is said to have �ultra realistic artificial intelligence� with 8 levels of artificial intelligence. A review by Kids Domain said, �This is like no other Tetris game you have ever seen. The 3D graphics are unbelievable�.
Nightlong	Adventure	Trecison	ClickBOOM	Nightlong was published by Team 17 last year with ClickBOOM striking a conversion deal with them to bring it to the Amiga. Nightlong is a Blade Runner type game with over 80 detailed locations to explore, stunning 16-bit cyberpunk graphics and full screen movie sequences. There are many engrossing puzzles and it boasts speech recorded by professional actors. Another quality game from ClickBOOM.
Earth 2140	Real-time strategy game	Topware	Epic Interactive	This real-time strategy game was just released in time for Christmas with Pagan Games completing the task of converting this Topware title. This game has received many recommendations. Gamercenter said that, �Earth 2140 offers raw, unbridled carnage for the thinking gamer� while SoftSeek believe, it has �the best 'feel' of all the new command and conquer games�.
Simon The Sorcerer II	Adventure	Adventure Soft	Epic Interactive	Paul Burkey (creator of Foundation) and Peter Mulholland completed the task of converting Adventure Soft's game, Simon The Sorcerer II. It is played with an easy point & click interface and features hand-drawn locations and characters with more than 50,000 frames of animation. It was only released in the closely weeks of December, but it is sure to still make its mark on the Chart.
Exodus: The Last War	Real-time strategy game		Blittersoft	Exodus: The Last War is a real-time strategy game developed by a Polish team and just out in time for Christmas. Single-player gamers face up to 20 maps while in multiplayer mode there are 24 maps with 2 gamers able to play via null-modem.
