There might be exceptions, but games that get their timing from the CPU instead of the video's vertical refresh were rare by the time the Amiga debuted; the latest ones I've seen were the Mega Man PC original games from 1990, and even then that was uncommon. There are probably some exceptions, but I've never encountered an Amiga game whose speed was affected by an accelerator.
