   Ported games are usually hopeless and not worth the effort - you may as   
   well just use one of the C64 emulators for the Amiga and run the   
   original game. They don't use the target computer properly. What you   
   really want is those games *re-written* (and done properly) to the   
   Amiga, utilising the better graphics, sound, etc. that are available.
