ANY game that uses just one button and uses up to jump get my vote for most annoying game. unfortunatly there are many of them.
Oh yeah?!?

there are several joysticks for the amiga that had two buttons (actual two button sticks not a one button stick with two buttons)
i had a friend who swore by joystick and i liked gamepads, so we had contests with several different game systems, and games him with the stick me with the pad and i beat him every time. he tried a gamepad for a while and got better.
joystick are made for flight sims and the like. they are ok for for driving sims.
one of the worst was superfrog, because it was such a great game. cool graphics, music and sound but up to jump was terrible. plus when you got the little ball thingie and wings the button would do different things at different times, with the same button. i dont remeber if it had a two button setting. ill go check
Oh yeah?!?

dont base your feeling of how amiga games run on how well they are or arent emulated. i have played many many games on real amigas and many many games on emulation many of these the same games and i can tell you most of them arent exactly the same. timing, screen refresh and gameplay feel arent always perfectly translated in emulation.
timing really gets messed up between systems because so much of the amiga is based of the timings of the video system. pal if 50hz ntsc is 60hz so pal has more lines of res but slower speed. and it is more than just screen refresh that is affected by this.
i use fellow for games alot v3.6 thats the old dos version. it seems to do a really good job of syncronizing everything a bit better than even the newest versions of winuae. although screen smoothing is nice.
