I'll second Genetic Species, that's a good one - even if only
pseudo-3D.

I like Quake 1 also but Breathless is pretty sluggish. It has a patch
for '060 on Aminet.

Super Stardust has an unofficial sequel called Wendetta (it's pretty
good!).

Exodus is another good Real Time Strategy game in the mould of Napalm.

PD game Frontal Assault is a thinking man's blaster and doesn't really
use too much CPU but is a good laugh. There's also a demo on Aminet
somewhere called Lamba that really shows off the '060 processing
power. Don't know whether it became a full game...

Yes, Nemac-IV is quite good if you save your game and progress into
later levels. I like the remote mines your robot can throw out - very
similar to the ones in Goldeneye on Nintendo 64.

Get a 5-level playable demo of Nemac-IV from Aminet, these are the 3
archives needed:

ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/game/demo/nemac4e1.lha
ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/game/demo/nemac4e2.lha
ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/game/demo/nemac4e3.lha

Also, I couldn't find Lamba on Aminet. It seems to be only on the
official author's website.

Lamba is a 3D texture mapped and light sourced spaceship game:

I wouldn't expect too much from Lamba. The website doesn't seem to
have been updated for quite some time and it's more of a 3D tech
demonstration than a game. You can fire bullets but they don't hit
anything, there are no sound FX etc.

I think Descent was ported to Amiga but that wasn't much good, and for
flying thrills on '060 I'm afraid Eurofighter sim 'TFX' was only
compatible with '030/'040.

The '060 seems to have been the neglected child of the Amiga CPU
family - sandwiched between the fully compatible '030 CPU and the next
generation of PPC603e.
