Some PPC titles had ability to use AGA (even AmigaOS 4 Classic supports it) but games on it are slow in comparison to any gfx card. However, half of PPC board users didn`t have gfx card, so sure it was a weird middle solution, that wasn`t good at all in practice.

Heretic II
Simon The Sorcerer II
WolfPac

Some more can be found on Aminet, and maybe some demos did work on PPC and AGA?
