Games which were made especially for CGA did often look really cool.

Possibly not the best example but I do feel like Alley Cat looked great in CGA: https://i.ibb.co/wNDvgzQ8/alleycat.gif

I played that game and couldn't understand why someone would do that. Games on my Commodore 64 looked much better.

The CGA version of Defender of the Crown also looked quite good for what it was, although most other conversions looked better.

Jim Sachs 320 x 200, 32 color art for the original Amiga version was amazing.
