There were several AGA games that were 1200/4000 only. Some may have had an
Ocs port, but generally if it says aga, it requires the newer machines.

As for speed, most were designed with the basic 68000 in mind, but several
will require 1 meg ram and/or take advantage of a faster processor. Lots
don't like the 020 or 030, so best to try on an emulator before trying to
copy via amiga explorer.
