Outside of Europe Amiga games don't have much traction as it was never a big mass market games machine in the US. If was a niche gaming computer for a wile at stores like Software ETC for a while but the Nintendo 8/16bit and Consoles were favored over Amigas. Mostly hardcore folks used it for gaming here.

It was funny ...the retail clerks always bashed the system and the games yet from 1986-1992 they regularly stocked hardware and software, I'd meet lots of folks, and they loved the system. The moment PC's surpassed the Amiga they started a closeout. In a florida mall I picked up every Amiga game I wanted for $5-20 each.

So XBOX live PS3 conversions are more nostalgic. I really do like the new Super Stardust. But if I could get all those Amiga classics on a TV game device I'd purchase it. On an Iphone or PSP it works.
