Zool, Amiga CD32
Gremlin‘s Zool appeared on virtually every (capable) platform, back in the early ’90s when it was first released. And – having originated on the Amiga – porting it to the CD32 seemed like a no-brainer.

Arcade Pool, Amiga CD32
Arcade Pool was developed and published for the Amiga and CD32 by Team 17 in 1994.
