This is so for A500, but the definitive Amiga is A1200 with 68EC020, AGA and only limited by 24 bit address bus (=16 MB ram). From that on people just installed 030 with MMU and later PPCs if they wanted.

Interesting that you see the definitive Amiga as being the A1200 - the definitive one for me was definitely the A500/A500+ - it was definitely way more popular! BTW, I don't think the software in this repository is compatible with PPC-based Amigas, is it? (Unless they have the add-on board that runs a 68000-series processor in parallel?)

There were things like BLIZZARD 603e+ that you could just plug into an A1200.

And it would still run 68K code on "companion" 040/060

Appears to be Public Domain games, sort of thing you'd get on magazine disks

A magazine disk was the first time a game containing Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was thrown into a game as an enemy character in a platformer game (Adventures Of Quik & Silva) without any regard for copyright law. This happened before the actual Genesis/Mega Drive game released. (and no, that game is not on this site)

Quik & Silva was a banger, noticed a bootleg sonic was in it as a kid but had no idea about that fact. Amazing soundtrack too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXtT3L0zEqs

Something special about growing up with an Amiga instead of just a mainstream console because a lot of the games were opinionated creations from individuals that went viral through physical disk copies rather than everything just coming from a corporation.
