The Amiga was introduced in 1985 and by 1986 should had been on the   
   shelves.   
      
   Usually games from arcades were ported to the then available home   
   computers just a few months later they appeared in the arcades. Like   
   Zaxxon which made it way to about all of the contemporary computers in   
   1982 as licensed or clone. For the Amiga Zaxxon came out only in   
   1995. Another example is Phoenix from 1981, which came out as Mega   
   Phoenix for the Amiga ten years later, if my Google works correct. There   
   are many more examples of late game ports for the Amiga. While others,   
   like Elite, were probably out (1985) before many people even heard about   
   the Amiga.   
      
   Anyone has an idea why?
