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?
