At its zenith in the early 1990s, the Amiga became the platform of choice of many games development companies. At that time virtually every game destined for the PC was first released on the Amiga to test the waters due to cheaper development costs.
The Amiga gaming scene was responsible for the rapid growth of small gaming companies including Electronic Arts who were contracted by Commodore International to produce the Amiga's standard graphics format IFF, and Electronic Arts' Deluxe Paint was included as standard with many Amigas thus giving them early access allowing them to gain a major foothold.
Many famous game developers first established themself on the Amiga, although some such as David Braben has already established reputations from the 8-bit computer games. Famous Amiga game developers include:
