Hey whatsup guys OSG here with another Amiga Hidden gems video and today it’s the letter F. First of all I will say that this one was very difficult hence the time between gems videos and in the end I have had to compromise on some of the gems criteria but in the end I have sorted 10 games that are either hidden or overlooked gems that really deserve some playtime.
As usual I’ve ordered them in order of greatness and I’m sure that everyone will find at least 1 or 2 games that they like from this selection
Ok enough waffling lets take a look at 10 amiga hidden gems beginning with F in order of greatness

I was half expecting to hear 'ice cream' during Future Basketball 🎉
I played Future Basketball tons. If I remember correctly I even preferred it above Speedball 2. Really nostalgia trip there.
Another great video OSG. Thanks again for more Amiga game suggestions!
Football glory 👍
very good memory for fetiche maya !! fate gate was very difficult
@4:34 The Final countdown reminds me of V:The Game, for the commodore 64.
the driving engine in that silmarils fetische game looks really good. i could imagine a full driving game with that engine, it looks like a sega superscaler game.
Fantastic voyage I remember, loved the movie as a kid, great film not so much the game though sadly. That F1 game looks good, never seen that one, love the speed! Future Basketball looks interesting, nice looking SB2 clone. Other standouts for me from F are Final Coutdown, Footmon (not a patch on Edgar Vigdal's Deluxe Pacmon btw, you ever cover that one?) and Top one looks great, I've seen it but not played it, it's just called Maya in my collection. Speaking of which, I checked if I had these games and I have em all but never played any of em apart from the two I mentioned so nice one finding em! Looking forward to G
I have a Mint Boxed Version of Future Basketball. It's a really nice looking Game. I also liked Fantastic Voyage being a fan of Inner Space and Microcosm.
As a long-time fan of the classic film and Isaac Asimov's novelisation, I have to say that this version of Fantastic Voyage looks AWESOME!!! It beats the pants off of the Atari 2600 game, I'll have to load it up on my Amiga Mini or hacked Evercade soon!
F is a tricky one, and some of these are definitely Tescos economy GEMS. I used another word beginning with F when I played fantastic voyage 🙂
Another great list, one thing looking at all those games is, even if someone didnt say anything you would know they are Amiga games, just the graphics and sound. Cracking list, I know it is too main stream but F for me I would say people to checkout Fury of the Furries if they have not seen it, I loved that game.
The computer sounds on Final Countdown nicked from Alien. Fantastic. I never played the World Championship version of F1, but the original was fantastic [both got Mega Drive ports].
Great as always!!!
I remember the ads for Flip-it and Magnose, but never played it. That F1 game by Domark was developed by Lankhor, who did Vroom.
One day I hope to see my homebrew Amiga game on this list.
Its working title is 'Ewok Furry Bollocks'
Fate Gates Of Dawn is one of my favourite Amiga memories. I love the opening music too.
Moonstone
That basketball game looks alot like Bill Lambier's combat basketball on the SNES
For G, I think Gravity Wars is not so well known. It was a Hires Interlaced public domain game in the basic style of artillery duel, but in space with randomly place planets.
didn't know there was a basketball version of speedball 2 and will definitely have to check out a few of these games
Great video mate 👍
