To search for information relating to the original games cited in this article why not use my meta Amiga game database search engine?

Just before Christmas I decided I'd have a dabble at dredging the net for Amiga
game flash remakes (now incorporated into the database below) and blog my haul for your delight and delectation. In the process I came across a swampload (not to be derogatory you understand; I've chosen my metaphor and I'm going to stick with it) of more traditional, standalone clones for various platforms and felt it would be a shame to toss them back overboard (I wasn't kidding) on the grounds that they weren't
Flash movies.
My latest compilation is a medley of pixel for pixel revivals/ports, Amiga-game-inspired homages and official revamps. Many are 100% complete projects, others are designated 'work in progress', while several sadly seem to have been abandoned. I haven't discriminated against commercial games so amongst the freeware you will find links to shareware and retail software. Any games falling into the latter categories have been identified as such so they're
easier to avoid if you're skint (or against developers profiting from derivative works).
Your feedback on this one would be greatly appreciated so I
can add to the list and correct any goofs I might have made.
