Number 58
(99 points)
Gravity Power
1996: 2
With 99 points, this is the highest-ranked game to only appear on a single list, that being the final, 1996 list. After this point, every game was chosen more than once, meaning they all had enough staying power to warrant reinclusion. This game happened to be included on the June 1995 Amiga Power coverdisk, so it couldn't have been included on anything other than the 1996 list. For a free giveaway game, it must be good, right?
This is a follow-up to Gravity-Force 2, featured at number 2 in the 1995 list, and the new title is most likely a reference to Amiga Power itself, given that the magazine appears on the title screen. As for the game, it's just an updated version of the Thrust-based two-player game that preceded it, with presumably some added features, although it's hard to tell at first glance.
Look, I'm sure an office of Amiga journalists having a mini-tournament among themselves on this would've had a right jolly old time, but to rank both it and the previous game (which is nearly identical) the second-best games ever made for the Amiga? A pinch of salt, if you please.
