Mmmmm... Possible. I remember when PC games began to get better than the Amiga version.
At first it was only like 2% or 5% of all games, starting around some 1989/90'ish.
True that when Doom came, Amiga kind of lost the edge. Yeah... FPS was all the rage back then.
One fine example of early game, that are better on PC compared to Amiga, is Syndicate.
The settlers are like equal on both platforms. One has better sound, the other has better gfx.
Recently I got my first Amiga since I sold my 1200 in 2006. So I am a happy champ, having access
to this wonderfull platform once again. Now I can play those titles that are better on the Amiga.
Got an C64 too this year, so now I can play more titles that are better on the C64 compared to PC.
Here I am thinking of titles like Rick Dangerous and Winther Games. Actually all the games titles
from Epyx are way better on the C64 than on the PC.
Shure the Amiga is a solid platform, and it can still do a couple of things, that PC's can not do.
I am thinking of the Ram disk. On the Amiga, the Ramdisk is dynamic...
The size will automatically increase or decrease depending on what is actually placed or deleted.
This is something that other "home computers" have never managed to deliver other than Amiga.
And again... Who is using things such as a freaking Ramdisk these day's? 🤣
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
