Merged, I never owned one, would love to just to experience the games first hard on real hardware.

I was around 14-18 when our school had an IT suite with A3000s in it. Zarch (Virus on the ST and Amiga) was great if little tough, Chocks Away was a decent enough 3D flight sim that could eat into your dinner hour, Lemmings was a decent conversion,  Conqueror was a great tank simulator that was on the Zarch engine I seem to remember getting battered by a King Tiger on that game. Ive just seen it was on the Amiga too but seemed to run far slowed.

E-Type was ok as a racing game, Pacmania was a great conversion of the arcade game, Manchester United a decent football game that appeared on lots of 8bit and 16 bit platforms.

Looking at the Wiki page the system ahd got a decent hit rate when looking how many games were released.

I would of had a A500 with 1MB at the time, the Ark always felt like there was lots of power in the risc based chipset, if was more popular it could of been a really decent games platform.

That Tank game looks all kinds of awesome.
