Sensible Soccer and Kick Off and spin offs were amazing on the Amiga. lol at speedball, I still have my Amiga boxed up in the loft with a load of disks and want a game of sensi soccer now 
Populous was another addictive game. In fact I think I played Amiga games for longer than any other format since.

I forgot Stunt Car Racer and James Pond 
oh and Gunship which was my favourite sim game flying round in in helicopter blowing the cr4p out of everything 
Also remember F-18 Interceptor where you could fly an F-18 or F16 and land the F-18 on aircraft carriers.

I was working on a new next gen version of Speedball before I left, it was years ahead of its time. Very nearly became an Xbox Live launch title for 1st gen Xbox til they decided to focus on 'core sports'
Try googling Speedball Arena.
You can see some concept screenshots from a loooooong time ago at:

If I make my millions doing what I'm doing now I'm going to self fund it

Speedball Arena....well, watch this space, although it would unlikely be under the Bitmap moniker..........

Shadow of the beat was a computer game first, then a console game by Psygnosis. Used fancy graphics, paralax scrolling etc.
Altered beast was originally a Sega arcade machine, and was ported to the consoles afterwards.
That would be cool. Shame to lose the bitmap moniker though. It was the bitmap name / games that persuaded me to persue programming as a career...
