Agony is a side-scrolling shoot-em-up game, released by Psygnosis in 1992 for the Commodore Amiga platform.
Featuring three floppies and an end of the world theme, the game ran in all Amiga computers. Our main character metamorphoses into an Owl, and fights his way through an earth breaking to pieces, being invaded by a hurd of demons.
The game is considered a game of cult with a lot of following, because it's pretty well done. Music and artwork is above average, and the game makes great use of many Amiga features, which techniques like scales of colors done with raster lines, HalfBright graphics mode, three level scrolling, good use of sprites, in-game palette swapping and continuous flashing of the background colorscale.
There was some noise around the title tune, sampled here, since the Norwegian metal group Dimmu Borgir reused the tune for their instrumental track Sorgens Kammer from their 1996 album Stormblåst, without giving proper credit to its original authors, though.
