I think part of my disappointment was with the fact that the vast majority of games were games that could be played on an a500 with a floppy drive. Sure, an '040 is far from cuting edge these days, but it wouldve been nice to have a few good games that are more of a match for an a1200 + faster cpu + extra ram. PC people had a better gaming experience for the most part with equivalent machines (486 era).
Doubtless this is because so few people back in the day
had significantly upgraded machines - the baseline pretty much stayed at "1MB A500" for most of the Amiga's life and "2MB A1200" after. PC users, on the other hand, kept the baseline constantly increasing, so it was reasonable for developers to target newer hardware specifically. Convenient for gamers who didn't want to upgrade their systems just to play new games, but it does kind of suck in retrospect. There's a fair bit of AGA 020+ homebrew stuff on Aminet, though.
