Hes still full of Chit though;-)
Pretty sure it was used in Mad Dog McGee... an A500 no less
The CD32 was used in at least 1 arcade machine.
Yes I think the company (American Laser Games) used Amiga hardware in a few of their earlier games. They used laserdisc footage and the Amiga graphics overlaid on the top. They later started using 3DO hardware instead, before (as is traditional for any company which comes within 100 yards of Amiga) they went bust.
There was also Mastertronic's Arcadia system, as mentioned above, which was based on the A500 and has many games made for it in the late 80's, including ports of Amiga games. There was also the Cubo CD32-based arcade system, and a gambling / poker machine which was also Amiga based (possibly called "Riverboat Queen" or something similar - I remember seeing it for sale on Ebay a couple of years ago)
In addition, many of the early "virtual reality" arcade machines (the ones where you had to wear a headset and ran at like 5 fps) were based on Amiga 3000 motherboards.
