The problem with those Amiga games is that they kill the OS and take over the whole RAM overwriting all apps making it impossible to go back, that's why there's no Quit option.

I wonder how WHDLoad handles such games...

It allocates RAM for the game in a system friendly way so that other apps' memory is not destroyed. When you quit the game, the memory is de-allocated so it can be used by something else.
