An Amiga 500 could probably run many PC-98 games, but maybe only from a harddrive as due to the amount of hires+laced art. And there'd be flicker on a TV of course.
It'd also handle some JRPGs I think. Walking around on a map, enemy random encounters with somewhat static pictures, a few portraits. Was there even any RPG like that on the Amiga at the time? Shadowlands was more Diabloesque. Many first persons.
Hmmm. Ultima & DnD , Amberstar... and a few I never heard of.

@androidarts An Amiga flavored take on Dragon Quest would be fascinating to see. Hell, I want a DQ style RPG where most of the monsters are based on those wild and grotesque fantasy paintings one usually saw in demo scene productions, like Hardwired.
@wildweasel I'm not sure what type of Amiga RPG I'd like to see... I kinda like the monster capture subgenre. So, maybe going around capturing monsters from the various Amiga games perhaps? Are there any iconic ones though? SotB... Dungeon Master, Chaos Engine... then what?
@androidarts Various Lemmings, the plant things from Waxworks, the giant ants from It Came From The Desert, maybe we could stretch the definition of "monster" and include SWOS players or Valhalla's Lord of Infinity...
@wildweasel A lot of Amiga games had human enemies. I guess there's some recognizeable (or not) monsters in Gods, Blood Money, Menace, Turrican, Agony, Ork, Baal, RuffnTumble, James Pond, Venus the Flytrap, Barbarian II, Black Crypt. ... I feel like I'm missing something though.
