There's the likes of Street Fighter, Chase H.Q., Out Run, and even Ninja Gaiden to be found here, as well as plenty more. And there's also a pretty decent port you may not know to offset things a bit. Enjoy!

I'm reading old issues of Amiga Power and bad ports were the name of the game back in the early 90s (before I ever even had an Amiga. was on a BBC B at the time).

They really were terrible ports - but they were all we had. Spent soooooo much time with the Speccy port of Outrun, willing it to be good.
