The music on that site sounds like the Commodore 64's SID chip rather than the Amiga's 14-bit* sample-based sound. Please don't think that the Amiga's sound was that primitive, the machine was used for some professional music production.
I wish they'd ported some games instead of those cracker screens. * 14-bit by virtue of 2 8-bit channels on each side, so if you set one of those channels to be 64 times quieter than the other you had 14 bits to play with. The Amiga was an odd beast, you could have part of the screen in a different resolution to the rest, or modify the limited pallet per vertical line to fake something closer to True Color, and all that was available to my younger self without even having to leave BASIC.
