What screen are you using? A regular TV?

No. Regular TV should be fine.

Where are you loading them from? Hard disk? Floppy disk?

What games are they?

I think that game is neither 030 nor AGA (A1200) compatible out of the box.

You can either:

Hold down both mouse buttons when you reboot your Amiga to enter the early startup menu. There you can switch off CPU caches and switch the chipset to ECS.

You could install WHDload, a program which patches many games to make them compatible.

Hold down both mouse buttons during a reset.

Try pressing space when you go to the early startup menu. This should switch between 50Hz and 60Hz. Although it is not intended for this, it can have the effect of making the image on a TV larger and smaller.

This is assuming your TV can cope with both.

It might work, but the game may reset it back to normal.

Suck it and see.
