UK Amiga Games

1989 saw the first British games released on 16-bit platforms only: Archipelagos and Interphase. Pretty fast, the Amiga became the primary platform, Amiga-centric developers like The Assembly Line and Team17 emerged, and they achieved a mastery on this platform that was unmatched. Arguably, Pipe Mania and Lemmings are the main heritage of the Amiga to the gaming world in general, both of them were UK games.

The End of 8-bit

While the Amiga had been the main platform since 1989, most games were still ported to the old 8-bit platforms. By 1992, this practice had come to an end. The Atari ST was mostly dropped, too; games were released on Amiga and PC, or on Amiga alone. At the same time, there is a distinct shift in the character of the games. They are now less unique, fit better into the well-known categories.
