The Amiga CD32 is basicaly an Amiga 1200 with a CDRom drive (it has a C2P hardware, but games that use it are better on other platforms). A lot of games are only direct ports from Amiga 500 or 1200 version with no addition. So I’m more focused on games for which the CD32 version brings something new and/or better that their floppy disk counter parts
