It may look little better than a C64 game, but D/Generation is still very smart indeed.

Set in the future, you are a courier, bringing an important package to a building in Singapore. When you arrive, however, you find that the building is filled with lethal security devices, but you are determined to make it up the building to the boss's office. You meet people along the way who you can guide to the exit to help them escape. With careful pushing of switches and the use of a laser, you work your way towards your goal. The game received an AGA upgrade with better graphics and music, but both versions play almost identically.

It's one of those games that you can pick up in seconds and immediately understand, and the difficulty rises gradually, allowing you to figure out what to do as you play. Very well designed, and although the Amiga Power team acknowledged that it's not the prettiest game, it's very forgiving and a lot of fun.
