This sound so noobish, but i have never used an amiga before lol, what are the graphics like? Is it on par to a super nintendo or near those lines?
Are these the graphics from the Amiga in question?

Silent Service 2 - much better on the Amiga than the PC.

Truely one of my all time favourite games. With some of the power-ups and speed of scrolling once you got good at that, it was actually better than acid.
Carrier Command
Frontier
SWOS
Worms
Pinball Dreams
Pinball Fantasies
All classics. :)
Not sure if its been posted already but North & South was quality too.
Walker

Not sure about whats already gone up but my Amiga 1200 (still running, tis in my lounge!) mostly ran/runs:
James Pond 2: Robocod
Lemmings
Street Fighter II
Populous (used to play that for hours on end)
Deluxepaint IV
Tanks (?)
Missile Command
...Uhhh. Sure there were lots more. Need to get mine out for a play again soon...
For all you Amiga fans a couple of new articles...
ArsTechnica - A History of the Amiga, Part 1: Genesis (http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/a-history-of-the-amiga-part-1.ars)
ArsTechnica - A History of the Amiga, Part 2: Birth of Amiga (http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/a-history-of-the-amiga-part-2.ars)
Ooooohhh the hard drive turned up last night. A whole mighty 52mb!! Comes attached to the controller board though so easy fitting - mind you its the size of about 4 pci cards lol! Hopefully get it fitted tonight - then the final job is to get the cd drive working and Im finished! :D
blimey - pretty much all the classic have already been mentioned
though you could always have a look at some old school platform games like Magic pockets - I also liked the adams family game and the lost vikings
Bitmap brothers (guys who made magic pockets) also produced some classics like speedball and Chaos engine but I think they have already been mentioned in this thread
cannon fodder and sensible soccer are also worth getting
also Road Rash (the biking game, lotus turbo challenge, syndicate wars and of course Elite
