Quake II was never licensed for the Amiga so when Hyperion released their port of the open sourced game engine they bunled it with the PC CD version.  Sourcing the PC CD version in 2002 probably wasn't too big a deal but in 2020 finding new old stock might not be too easy and licensing the game files from I.D. would probably not be effective.

Wipeout 2097 was ported to WarpOS and therefore is incompatible with Tabor although you might have some success it would be more ideal to have an updated OS4 port.  It was ported by Digital Images and published by Blittersoft who still exist today as Virtual Programming.  I don't know if the sources still exist today or if VP would have access to them but they might still be in the position to re-issue the WarpOs version.

Heretic II is more likely to get an OS4 re-release since that is what Hyperion have done with their other titles over the years.
