Most C16 games that also existed for one of the other main 8-bit computers were a cut-down cash-grab sadly - there was only so much you could do with 1/3 or 1/4 of the memory, even if the rest of the hardware was competitive with the main 8-bit systems.
Plus 4 owners really lost out, they got some Infocom games and Mercenary but pretty much no other dedicated games that used all the memory. The C16 couldn't do a decent Green Beret or Yie Ar Kung Fu or Commando (another glaring offender), but the Plus 4 could have.
