Do some games only work with keyboard? Controller does nothing?

I was trying some Amiga games and some (Bomb Jack) worked fine with a BT connected PS4 controller, but other games (Dune) nothing was happening with the controller.

Will some games require a mouse and keyboard?

Thanks.

Dune was mouse and keyboard IIRC. The SEGA CD version is almost identical and uses joypad.

The amiga is a hard one some games worked with two floppy drives and some would just lets you use one. I think some of the games like monkey island used the keyboard. Others will probably use the mouse or keyboard and joystick. Your millage will vary. Its safe to say you will need the keyboard available for general use if you have fixed games that just use joysticks youll get away with no keyboard

Most of the above games are available as WHDload files. I'd look out for the .ISO version of the CDTV Xenon II: Megablast if you're looking for the best version.
