Yeah, I meant the ROI for any company that may have thought of porting the
games from C64 to Amiga.

I figured that was how.  I never had, or ever saw in person, an Amiga but I
seemed to remember that they were more of a "PC" than a gaming console (so, I
figured they had floppy drives rather than cartridge slots ).

Golly, I can remember when having 64K was a big deal.  :)  But, by the
mid-80's the clones had 640k so 256k would be painful.
