Of what? Strictly Amiga?

 

If not, you can get the occasional classic console game on the PC. I remember buying the "Konami Collection" for the PC once: It consisted of Contra, Super C, and Castlevania 1, 2 and 3.

Well Wolfenstein is on a lot of different platforms, including Game Boy Advance.

What does this have to do with the ST?

 

Granted, there's a video on YouTube of a guy playing Duke Nukem 3D on his Falcon via the CT63 [Motorola 68060 CPU upgrade with 256 or 512MB of PC133 RAM]. Still haven't figured out if that's an unauthorized port of the game [from either Amiga or Mac] or if it's running in an emulation mode...

There's plenty - many games from 1985-1991 were done for the PC as well as ST/Amiga.

 

The thing is, most are very poor in comparison and just forgotten. Why play a poor PC version (and usually need to do on old HW or sandboxed emulation) when you can play the superior ST or Amiga version in emulation.

 

PC games didn't really catch up until the '386 era and decent soundcards. Until then it was bleeps and bops and crappy CGA or EGA graphics.

 

Atarisoft did quite a few PC games also - but they tended to be coexistant 8-bit and earlier PC versions.

Cinemaware did a few HD digitally remastered games, Defender of the Crown was one of them in SVGA 256 colours. The best previous version would be standard 32 colour Amiga version as the PC version was in that pathetic EGA crap that made C64 games look truecolour haha
