Could (with some modification) an Atari ST run any games meant for 90's arcades (I.E Star wars Trilogy arcade, Jurassic park)
or would it have to be cut down port?
genuinely curious
Is this possible?

There are lots of arcade conversions on the ST. Almost none of them (except for maybe some early games?) are perfect, most needed to be cut down to the STs graphics / memory / sound constraints.

No matter how much cutting down you would do, its not possible to even come close to any of those 2 games for Atari ST. Those are full blown 3d games:MrPixel wrote:Could (with some modification) an Atari ST run any games meant for 90's arcades (I.E Star wars Trilogy arcade, Jurassic park)

Check few of Atari ST 3D games and you can see its 3D capabilities:

also, moving to the chat forum, this is not a Hatari question.

An Atari ST which was released in 1985 will not be capable of running arcade games released in 1994 or 1998.
