These tracks really draw you in, its easy to see how people can get sucked into these games for hours at a time.

I had no idea so much was done with the Amiga! I remember using my dad's ol' texas instruments cartridge based personal computer back in the 80's to play video games :)

1) the commodore Amiga did have 4 audio channels, not 8. (two channels for the left speaker and two for the right speaker
2) the MIDI port was not available on the amiga: it required an adaptor cable. the Atari ST did instead have a midi port directly on his case. Anyway this wasn't really a great feature: midi is jus a serial port, it requires no really special hardware
3) the atari ST audio chip was not comparable at all with the one of the amiga: it was more comparable to the one of a c-64. the amiga audio was designed to play real world sampled sounds, the atari ST did have a old style waveform generator, like a C64.
4) the atari ST was no good at all as a gaming machine it didn't have ANY kind of graphics hardware acceleration, whereas the amiga did have a powerful "bit-blitter" that did in HARDWARE most of the tasks needed in 2D games (scolling, drawing of moving objects over a background and the like)

Of those, I would only include Project X and MAYBE Zool for the refreshing flutish thingy and Turrican 2. Both demos were crap. What is this, a list of your friends?

At the bare minimum, the list is missing Supercars 2 and Lotus 2. Especially the latter!
If you want memorable titles, add Rick Dangerous there.
AFAICR Nitro had nice music as well.

How about Lemmings? Ok, not exactly original, but excellent execution.

And the rest of turrican 2 soundtrack was masterpieces!

Very funky videos, i almost puke with all those colors and synth sounds.

And I have to put in a plug for Galaga’s music, one the finest, most addictive computer games ever made.

Another for consideration is the delightfully kids-y “Beetle” from a British company long defunct. Gosh, how I wanted more than just the demo! The music was cute without being saccharine, somehow.

Such warm and wonderful memories.
