This is a chronological list of 1980s IBM PC games that may have made some Atari ST and/or Amiga owners jealous, either because the IBM PC games were not available on ST/Amiga, came out on IBM PC before ST/Amiga or were simply better on IBM PC than on ST/Amiga. If nothing is added in parenthesis, that means the IBM PC game was not available on ST/Amiga.
Bolded entries signify particularly notable releases in computer game history.
Included are some 1980s IBM PC games that predate the release of ST/Amiga. And they should be included since they constitute the IBM PC games catalogue that was available when the ST/Amiga were released.
