It doesn't matter if a game runs on most computers, it matters HOW it runs.
(E.g.: You don't need an Amiga to run ..... Quest from Sierra Online, it
 will work just as fast, just as colored as on a EGA PC)

These are the games (IM(not always so)HO) that you need to see to re-evaluate
your Amiga as a great game machine, which noone (not even Nintendo or Sega)
can compare with (Sorry.... getting a bit patriottic, I guess).

Check out:

    Supremacy
    Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (You'll find this speed nowhere else!)
    Shadow of the Beast (I or II)
    For that matter, any Psygnosis game      
    Most Cinemaware games (though not that Arcade-like)
    Speedball I & II (If this isn't Amiga, I don't know what IS)

Hope I put you in the right direction,
