OCS and ECS, when it came to games, were probably identical. There was no real speed boost in using ECS, and it couldn't show more colours at once.

The only difference I know what that ECS had extra screenmodes, like the fairly useless super-high res and some VGA modes.

Then why do most Amiga 500 games only support 32 colors (for as far as I know) and not 64 colors?


An A500 and an A600 both could only show a maximum of 32 colours in normal mode, 64 in HalfBrite mode, and 4096 in HAM6 mode.

Only AGA pushed this barrier.
