I coded many games in C using the graphics library Sprites and BOBs. Almost all my Amiga games are running from Workbench and multitasking. With screenmode requester at the beginning, so even graphics cards users can play them. Most games on Amiga closed the Workbench and took complete control over the system for fluent animations and gameplay. If you have task in the background it is very hard to achieve smooth movements and gameplay. Any process can slow down the system and it gets noticeable. For example floppy insert/remove, hard disk loading, even screen savers and Internet. For machines with 68000 CPU having Workbench in the background means almost always slowdowns.
