There were a few bad conversions that I played a lot because the game itself was so popular at that time. Final Fight, Pit Fighter, even the original Street Fighter II. Then there were the 'bad' 3d shooters like Breathless and, much worse, Fears. Oh and there were some really ugly pc adventure game conversions like Police Quest that I kept playing.

Let me get back on Breathless. Technically it was very impressive, and it looked good, too. But play it again today and you'll see the gameplay is really bad. Enemies are all the same, level design is very simplistic (most of the time) and the only reason to continue playing is to marvel at the graphics. I think I even played it in 1x1 on my 030/50, which gave me like, 8fps or something.

I really cant agree with Mortal Kombat II, that was an excellent conversion.

could be but for the amiga (this ran on a500 with only 512kb) this was the best they could do. pc's around that time had much more memory (and if not, pc users were happy to expand) and more colours so ofcourse the game was better on that platform. dont know about the sound, though.
