Why do Amiga games crash so offen?

[alx]

I haven't done much serious gaming on the 'miggy for a while, and I don't have any recent games so I cannot speak much for more recent hardware/software.

Many years ago I used to play loads of games on the A500, but I can only really remember one or maybe two instances when a game GURUed out, and it was so unusual it was quite shocking :-o

In emulation, you can't bang an emulated chip

Why not?  UAE seems to support virtually everything.  The only real issue for me is in demos and games with fast screenfades - it just cannot keep up.

But of course, things start to get messy when a program bangs what it thinks is OCS when it's AGA - some very old programs have difficulty running on anything apart from an A1000, A500 and A2000.
