The last game I can find from the lemon amiga database is from 2005 called desert racing of bardos.

There have probably been others.

I too would refer to the Amiga as 16 bit, especially the earlier ones.

In the UK we always called the C64, amstrad etc 8 bit and the amiga/st 16 bit.

I doubt the early amiga/st computers were truly 32 bit.

On the lemon amiga forums there is a thread from a guy who has released a game called downfall recently.

The 68000 only has 16-bit bus so it was not generally considered a full 32-bit CPU back in the day.  The Atari ST's name alludes to this; it stands for Sixteen/Thirty-two (and perhaps also Sam Tramiel).  The TT had an 030 so was Thirty-two/Thirty-two.


if they had gotten to 64 would have been the Atari SS
