Just found my Amiga A500 in a caravan in my folks garden
Along with around 2000 disks, and a staggering 1\2MB RAM upgrade for it, I fully intend to plug it all in just to play:
-Cannon Fodder (Coz War has never been so much fun)
-Syndicate (Gatling guns, muthafuckaz!)
-Turrican 2 (Best soundtrack of any amiga game)
Wonder if I can connect it to a VGA monitor though - anyone know?

Turrican 2 FTW
You'll need a scandoubler. The A500's video output is 15.5 khz, most vga monitor inputs start at 31 khz IIRC. Alternatively you can get a Scart lead for them without the need for the RF modulator. Hook the phono output to your amp and away you go.

All good games, and I have indeed clicked... but...
The Amiga reigned supreme for one reason above all others:

SENSIBLE SOCCER.

For head to head play
Sensible Soccer did indeed rule, along with speedball 2 :D

Great games

Syndicate?
Persuadertron and a decent cyber brain is all you need for a vast army

Damn straight, the persuadertron was a b-movie spectacular weapon
Hordes of brainwashed humans, doing your bidding. Love it!

Don't forget to play North Vs. South!

Sounds familiar
I probably did play it at some point, may even still have it. I'll look it up, see if it rings a bell

Turrican 2 FTW!
An amazing sound track, so good I have it as an MP3 on my player. (hides head in geek shame)

FOund some good remixes online too, especially of The Great Bath
