Flink was another platformer - looked amazing, but poor gameplay. I think that also got released on the PS1...
Marvin's Marvellous Adventure was very good as well. Another AGA game, very colourful Mario-type platformer.

I don't think I ever played an Amiga. Think I had a hardware gap between the Spectrum plus 3 and the PS2, due to student poverty. My mate had an Atari ST, which was the closest I got.

My mate had an Atari ST, which was the closest I got. Poor guy. There was a lot of porting between the two systems since they shared the same 68k processor. But the ST didn't have the co-processors for audio and graphics that the Amiga did, and ST versions were usually somewhat stunted in comparison. |

Some classics there. My brother foolishly opted for an ST instead of an Amiga. I also quite enjoyed
SWIV
Parasol Stars
Conflict
Speedball 2
The Chaos Engine (in truth virtually anything by the bitmap brothers)
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge
Though I really hated Bart versus the Space mutants. Had the hallmarks of everything that is wrong with platformers. To this day I'm sure there was a jump that couldn't be done.

Turned my PS4 off hours ago.
Conchord was playing Stardew Valley.
Just turned it back on. Conchord is playing Stardew Valley.
The sooner Monster Hunter comes out the better.

Never really used an Amiga much.
The demo scene stuff was wonderful though. Plus those tracker synth programs.
