How about all those PPC based Amiga games?

Ummm... many of those will work on 3.x under WarpOS or PowerUP.  I think Gorky17 requires a better graphics card (than a BlizzardVision, for example) when used in OS4.  I'm not sure about that one.

Furthermore most other games for AGA don't work with partial memory protection active, thus requiring a dual-boot setup with 3.9 or earlier.

WarpUp was removed from update 4 and later therefore won't work with OS 4 for Classics.  Some of those (the ones from Hyperion) have an OS 4 version but would still be hard-pressed to work on a slow 260 MHz G2-series processor.
