To be fair I've always thought the Amiga did a pretty admirable job of staying competitive even though the 16 bit consoles were years newer. |

Okay, fair enough, people hold arcade games in high regard, but I've been compiling a list so far of
my favorite games on the Amiga and only about
~20% have arcade-versions or would work as an arcade game.
Still haven't finished the list yet, but that says to me that on arcade/MAME I'd be missing out on a lot of fun & interesting products only because arcade games are very limited to small number of genres. Same almost goes for consoles.
If I had to choose, I'd rather see a new/original IP on the Amiga rather than a perfected arcade port. But I'm probably in the minority there.
