SHADOW OF THE BEAST BY: REFLECTIONS/PSYGNOSIS
::RATING::

Shadow of the Beast may be the definitive Amiga game, with beautiful graphics and sound (by David Whittaker of Lazy Jones fame, no less) and a very high difficulty level.

While primarily an arcade game, Beast does feature some puzzle elements (i.e. find item before killing boss, etc.) While you could call the game a graphics demo with a game attached, I feel it goes one step further. The graphics and sound are more than technical achievements, i would truly call them art, and they set up a mood for a game that i have yet to see matched even today.
