I picked up Bubble Bobble today for $6.99.  It doesn't work in 68020 mode on
my Amiga 2500.  Graphics are fair -- gameplay is fun!  100 levels for 1 or 2
players.  Cute.
Got a chance to play Bandit Kings of Ancient China.  It is hard-disk
installable, works in 68020 mode, has no copy protection, can be launched from
the Workbench screen and exits cleanly, and it even has a window gadget to
facilitate multi-tasking.  The graphics are beautifully done!  It is one of
the very few commercial Amiga games to use 640 x 200 resolution graphics! 
Dithering is used frequently, so it appears that more than 16 colors are on
the display.
Also bought Ishido.  Very fun strategy game that is hard-disk installable. 
Graphics are nice, but nothing like the Mac II screens shown on the back
cover.
Picked up Awesome, too.  Best graphics intro on a Psygnosis game yet.  The
graphics are excellent and the animation is superb.  3 disks, and it
recognizes multiple drives.  Supposedly the first Psygnosis game to utilize
extra memory as an internal RAM disk.  Very fun and playable.
