Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

Shadow Fighter is a 1994 fighting title for the Commodore Amiga and Amiga CD32, developed by NA.P.S. Team and published by Gremlin Interactive. It offers a roster of 17 characters from around the world, plus two hidden fighters, and a secret cheat‑unlocked character named Pupazz. The game features a traditional three‑round format, a toggleable blood mode, and a training dummy for move practice. It runs at a steady 25 fps (or 50 fps with a cheat on AGA Amigas) and was praised as one of the Amiga’s best fighting games of its era.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
