Do you ever *read* the messages here before posting stuff like this?  It 
seems a lot of people (like me) have found MANY good, playable Amiga
games.  Turrican ($24) blows away any NES or Sega game of its type.

True, and sadly there are some games like this.  But you're being naive
if you discount the whole Amiga game market because of a few bad programs.

Too complex???? If that argument were true you'd never see any coin-op
games either.  Talk about complex (and non-standard).....

So now the owners are designing the games?  :-)
Have fun with your Nintendo.....
