1: Some games require AGA because they are AGA only titles (alien breed 3D f.x.)
 
2: Some games had both versions and would adjust to the chip set present (alien breed tower assault f.x.)
 
3: Some games were ECS games that required 2 MB RAM, so were sold as AGA to avoid A500 owners buying them (Dungeon Master 2 comes to mind)

Never knew that.  Just assumed AGA meant you needed the Chipset.  But it makes sense.

Should "Dungeon Master 2" work on, let's say, a plain 68000 ECS + 2MB chip Amiga, then? Or does it contain 68020 code?

Hmm, I need to try that on my A500 with 2M Chip..
It's got no accelerator tho, so will be interesting..

I agree, a list of games and "actual" requirements would be awesome!!

Do try, it will be interesting to see for sure. But maybe it requires ECS.

A decent list of games with minimum requirements would be cool.

Kickstart, RAM, chipset. NTSC/PAL. Maybe add WHDload RAM requirement to preload.

hmm
