Play Heavy Metal Amiga Online

Heavy Metal Amiga came out in 1988, published by U.S. Gold and developed by Access Software. It was one of those games that tried to push the Amiga’s capabilities, especially in the action and strategy genres. At the time, it stood out for its mix of vehicle combat and tactical decision making, offering something a little different from the typical shooters or platformers.

You control three military vehicles: an M1A1 Abrams tank from a first-person view, an XR311 attack vehicle in third-person, and an M1132A for anti-air and ground support. The main goal is to complete three combat scenarios, each with specific objectives like destroying enemy units or securing positions. As you progress, you take on a tactical commander role, directing forces and managing resources. The pacing is deliberate, with moments of intense action followed by strategic planning. It feels like a blend of hands-on combat and thoughtful command, making each mission a test of both reflexes and decision making.
