Classic Pucman
1995: 90
If you're going to play Pac-Man on the Amiga, this is probably your best choice.
It's highly unlikely that anyone reading this does not know about Pac-Man, but for the avoidance of doubt, you play a yellow circular object whose task is to collect all white pellets in a maze while avoiding four colourful ghosts. You can collect a power pellet to eat the ghosts, and there is a tunnel you can use to escape them. Regarding this specific version, there are a few options available that modify the gameplay, as well as a two-player mode. Other than that, it's just a very accurate rendition of the arcade classic.
Should you be playing Pac-Man on an Amiga nowadays? There isn't a whole lot of point - hell, this game made the 1995 list and MAME on the PC allowed you to play the arcade ROM as early as 1997. It's nice to see the list include public domain games like this alongside big budget releases, but nowadays this can be seen as a novelty and little more.
