Wasted Dreams is a sci-fi isometric action-adventure created by Digital Dreams Entertainment for the Amiga and released in 1999. It was one of the last commercial games designed for the Amiga and one of the few released on CD only.
It's also the biggest Amiga game you can download from GamesNostalgia.
The adventure designed by Cvijan & Goran Cvijanović is set in a distant future, where two guys, part of an expedition to find a new planet for humanity, crash land on an alien planet. The settings and the hi-quality cinematic animations will remind you of Flashback: The Quest for Identity. The difference is the view is top-down isometric and not a side view. Despite some shooting (you will have to collect a gun to defend yourself from the aliens), Wasted Dreams is primarily an adventure. You will have to find objects, talk with people and solve puzzles.

All New World of Lemmings is the third entry into the Lemmings franchise. It was developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1994 for Amiga and DOS.
All New World of Lemmings (a.k.a. Lemmings Chronicles) picks up the story after the Lemmings escaped their homeland and weathered a terrible storm. Once the clouds clear, the Lemmings find themselves near a set of islands and decide it is as good a place as any to build their new home. Though there are 12 lemming tribes total, you will only be playing as 3 of them: Classic, Egyptian, and Shadow. You are free to pick and choose which tribe’s missions to do and can always switch to another tribe whenever you want to. For those unfamiliar with the Lemmings series, you control a horde of cute little creatures and use their skills to get past obstacles. All of the lemmings will fall into the level one after the other, and they walk until they encounter something that they cannot overcome, like a wall. They will then reverse direction and head the other way. Unlike the previous entries, All New World adds the ability to change the direction of your lemmings yourself. The lemmings have inherent skills of their own but can also pick up items they can use to do specific actions. Your goal is to escape each level with as many lemmings as you can.

Alien Fish Finger is a platform/shooter created by David J. Cruickshank for the Amiga initially in 1995 as shareware, then re-released for free in 2011.
This fantastic 2D shoot'em up, one of the best titles that you can find in the Amiga public domain, was developed entirely by Cruickshank, who coded the game with Blitz Basic II and made the graphics with Deluxe Paint 4. Many years later, in 2011, David decided to re-release the game, adding several enhancements, including new sound effects, 2nd button support for jumping, new secret areas, three difficulty levels, Steam-like achievements, and many many other things.

Land Of Genesis is a platformer shoot'em up created by Maurizio Gemelli and published in 2001 by ClearWater Interactive. It was an exclusive for Amiga AGA and Amiga CD machines.
Maurizio Gemelli was a former demoscene developer for the Amiga, and he spent three years programming this fantastic action game clearly inspired to Turrican. Land Of Genesis was distributed on CD only and required a very powerful Amiga (at least 68020 with 4MB, but better to have a 68040 with 8MB Fast RAM to enjoy the extended version). The game featured 5 massive levels and all sorts of special effects including 3D video, 512 colors on the screen, 180 different enemies controlled by their AI, plenty of parallax scrolling, and transparent backgrounds.

Gobliiins is the first adventure puzzle game in the franchise of the same name and was developed by Coktel Vision. It was published by Sierra in 1991-1992 for DOS and Amiga. Of course, it later made its way onto other platforms and was released as an arcade throwback on the iPhone in 2010.
When the king is in trouble, who do you call? Goblins. Take control of a trio of Goblins who embark on a quest to find four magical items that will lead them to the dastardly wizard who has taken control of their king via voodoo doll. The trio must solve puzzles by collecting items and using them accordingly. Each Goblin has its talents that can aid in your adventure, and you can control each character individually. The little buggers have some sass to them and will mock you when you misuse items and become impatient when you’re idle for too long. The goblins have a community health bar which will deplete if you’re not careful. While the gameplay is linear, there are still plenty of things to keep you entertained while deciphering each level’s puzzles.

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is the fourth chapter of the popular beat-em-up series based on the arcade Street Fighter II. This edition, known as Super Street Fighter 2, is the first to use "Super" in the title.
The arcade version was released in 1993, while the Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES, and FM Towns versions were created in 1994. In 1995, Capcom published the Amiga AGA version, which was developed by Freestyle.
Unsurprisingly, considering the title "The New Challengers", Super SF2 introduces four new characters: Cammy, a young member of the English special forces; Fei Long, a Chinese martial arts movie star (in case you are wondering, yes, it looks like Bruce Lee), T. Hawk, a Mexican indigenous warrior, and Dee Jay, a Jamaican kickboxing master. There are also new special moves for Ryu, Ken, Zangief, and Mr. Bison.
