Descent Freespace works on 68k + AGA as well. No need for ppc and/or rtg. Runs surprisingly well on 040+ aga upwards too.
Wild Flying is terrible though :) Looks ok for an amiga game of that time, but peeing into a powerpoint is more fun :)
Virtua Karting is qute nice though. Alien F1 (Ive forgotten what its called these days) is pretty good too. Nice graphics, and quite playable.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Looking at screenshots of Myst may be a little misleading. The graphics are prerendered. Quake is pretty much unplayable on '030, even with a small window and all the optimisation patches applied (which remove graphics effects, etc. so you end up with a much less attractive game) you get about 3 or 4 frames a second according to a friend. And that's assuming you have an fpu (doesnt run without one). Ive not tried it on anything less than an '040, and even that was unplayalbe for my tastes.
Tales Of Heaven is another you might want to check out if youre looking for interesting amiga games released towards the end of its commercial life. Not the greatest game, but does have a certain charm. Trapped2 is okay-ish as well, and in my opinion is more playable on an '030 or '040 than an '060. Hard to articulate exactly, but it just "feels" wrong when its completely smooth. It's like it was developed on a more modest amiga and the timing and whatnot doesnt work as well when run on something faster. Not saying that is the case, but play it on an '030 or '040 and then on Winuae/amithlon/os4/mos/etc. and I find it more playable on the slower hardware, despite not being as smooth. Im sure some people will disagree, but to each his own as they say :)
