This batch ranges from overhead racing lanes to hex maps, rally routes and artillery hillsides, with 2D action that keeps the screen busy in very different ways.

Battle Isle ’93: The Moon of Chromos

On lunar hex-grid campaign, opposing commanders plot turns on hex maps before their orders resolve together. Crater fields, ice terrain and hover units put the focus on positioning as players pursue headquarters captures or outright destruction.

International Truck Racing

overhead truck races puts six heavy rigs on overhead circuits where braking early matters as much as finding room to pass. Pit visits hinge on collecting the flag matching your truck’s colour, and podium finishes are needed to move on.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I

In top-down Middle-earth quest, Frodo’s journey unfolds across top-down maps where exploration and turn-based encounters share the same spaces. Equipment, abilities and companions replace experience-point levelling, while sneaking and words of power offer alternatives to a straight fight.

Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom

medieval supply chains asks a settlement to turn raw materials into food, tools and armed soldiers before its army can take the field. Grain passes through milling and baking, while ore must be smelted and forged into military equipment.

Mobile Warfare

isometric Romanian campaign opens with a mission to clear Ploiesti, using riflemen, medics, tanks and bazooka troops on square-by-square battlefields. Adjacent attacks and breakable barriers make fences, streets and approach routes part of each turn.

Paris-Dakar

Paris-to-Dakar rally route combines driving with a close watch on fuel, water, gearbox condition and body damage. The route runs from European roads through the Sahara and Ténéré, with resupply costs pressing on a limited budget.

Pocket Rockets

motorcycle drag strip narrows motorcycle racing to launches, gear changes and the few seconds of a straight-line run. The Suzuki Katana, Kawasaki Ninja, Yamaha FZR and Honda Hurricane invite a direct comparison of timing at the lights and shifting under pressure.

Power Drive

arcade rally championship sends a loose-handling rally car through time trials, head-to-head stages and precision challenges across eight rounds. Prize money covers repairs between events, so a battered finish can follow the driver into the next stage.

Scorched Tanks

four-player tank duels is all about setting angle and power, then watching shells carve up destructible ground. Up to four human or computer tank crews earn cash from damage and spend it on weapons, shields or repairs between rounds.

Which of these would make the better Amiga evening: a four-player Scorched Tanks grudge match, a careful Power Drive rally run, or a Battle Isle map played one turn at a time?
