You're too harsh on software of this era. Everyone was learning for the first time ever. Also I don't think you would be the best to recognize true masterpieces because they would go over your head. Some of the deepest software titles are flight simulator type games. Air Combat Emulator, for example, is a fabulous high action game with tons of depth and replayability even to today. Most people like you would get bored of it. What about Desert Fox? Another classic that I doubt you'll like.
You shouldn't presume anything. Steigar is a bog standard scrolling shooter with no 'simulator' affectations whatsoever. Remember, we're in 1989 here, we are nowhere near the start of the Home Micro boom and I can name 50 games on every platform that are considerably better than this abomination. You certainly cannot compare this to games like Desert Fox or proper Sims like Gunship or Project Stealth Fighter which were released years before this. This is a BAD GAME on the 64 and even worse on the Amiga. I'll even point you in the direction of a better game on both systems with the same setting - Dyter-7.
