Populous was best on the Amiga, as was Powermonger and Mega lo mania.

If you were too slow (fell off bottom of screen) your car was given a points penalty and teleported back to the middle of the screen.
I had a soft spot for Ballistix too.
Run the Gauntlet was a lovely competetive 4 player game too FECK'n hated those hovercrafts though!

Aye, Chaos Engine was probably the pinnacle.

Loved the 4th level (dwarf) with the bird things.
And the gates, with the rune tokens. And the drow levels. Ahhhh..
