Super Obliteration is a public domain game created by David Papworth for the Amiga and released in 1993.
It's commonly described as a Pang clone or a mix between Pang and Asteroids. Others say it's like Stardust (famous clone of Asteroids for Amiga) and Turrican since the hero that shoots the meteors looks like Turrican. Either way, Super Obliteration is considered one of the best public domain games ever created for the Amiga. So just try it and enjoy!

Holiday Lemmings, also known as Xmas Lemmings 1993, is a holiday edition of the classic puzzle game created by DMA Design. It was published during the festive season in 1993.
The game engine is the classic Lemmings (despite in 1993 Psygnosis also published Lemmings 2: The Tribes) but, as you can imagine, the game has a Xmas theme: the little lemmings are dressed as Santa Claus, the scenario is full of snow, and the background music is made of remixed holiday songs.
The previous Xmas Lemmings editions were just demos, with few levels, but this time 32 new levels are available. Initially released commercially, the game was published later as freeware.

Warhead is a space combat sim created by Glyn Williams and published in 1990 by Activision for Amiga and Atari ST.
Just like Elite, you play the game from the cockpit of your ship, with a first-person perspective and 3D-filled vector graphics. But the game is mission-based, with a plot that connects them all. Warhead is probably the first space sim with this structure since Wing Commander was released after it.
One of the main characteristics of the game is realistic physics. For example, no gravity or friction is stopping your ship, so once you have impressed a speed, your vessel won't stop unless you use the engines to go in the reverse direction. This makes the controls more complicated compared to arcades games. Thank god you can use several pre-programmed autopilots to perform standard tasks.

Premiere is a platformer developed by The 8th Day and released for Core Design in 1992 for the Amiga. It was also ported to CD32 in 1994.
In this game, you are Cluth Gable, a movie editor who fell asleep while working one night. Six reels of the film are stolen, and Cluth has to retrieve them.
Each game level has a different set: Wild West, Sci-Fi, Black & White, Horror, Cartoon, and Fantasy. The 8th Day already did a great job with the graphics of Heimdall, their previous title. But Premiere has even better graphics and animations. The intro sequence is like an animated movie. Regarding the game, just look at the screenshots, and you will realize that the backgrounds and the sprites are simply fantastic. The animation is fluid, with plenty of frames for each move.
