Unless I'm missing something, the Amiga seems to be absent from the Games collection. I'd love to be able to add my Amiga games to my collection in my profile.
Did anyone else have an Amiga? Or am I just old and alone... so very alone...

Which initials stand for the Amiga in the console list?

PC, since the Amiga is a personal computer.

But PC games don't work on an Amiga and vice versa. Surely it should be up as an independent platform.

Amiga had nothing to do with PC platform back when it existed.
I had an Amiga 500+ as did most my mates at school (UK), the Amiga was huge in the UK and it's man rival the Atari ST was also quite big but in the end was well beaten by the Amiga. The consoles at the time (NES, Master System) were complete bollocks compared to the Amiga, as was the PC up until about 1992. The cheaper SNES and Megadrive and more powerful PC's eventually meant the end for the Amiga as Commodore completely made a mess of things, but at it's height nothing could top the Amiga. There were so many great original Amiga games (many of which were ported to consoles/PC) -
CIVILIZATION
LEMMINGS
FLASHBACK
THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND 1 + 2
SETTLERS
SENSIBLE WORLD OF SOCCER
SYNDICATE
STUNT CAR RACER
SPEEDBALL II - BRUTAL DELUXE
TURRICAN II
CANNON FODDER
ANOTHER WORLD
PINBALL ILLUSIONS
CHAOS ENGINE
GODS
INDIANA JONES IN THE FATE OF ATLANTIS
RAINBOW ISLANDS
Super Cars II
Prince of Persia
Beneath A Steel Sky
Lots of Windows games won't run on a Mac, Bioshock won't run on a 486, and old DOS games won't run on modern Windows computers without emulation. Yet all of these are PC games running on PCs.
PC is a broad term, and it needs to be broad. The database would start getting pretty silly if it had to list all the various PC platforms of the ages and the multiple versions of software designed to run on them.

No - there was a clear distinction between PC platform and Amiga back in the day...And Atari ST and Mac for that matter.
Famousringo - I don't think you understand the history of the Amiga, it was in no way related to modern or old PC's, it was a completely independent platform 100% owned by Commodore.
According to your logic if you can fit a usb keyboard to a console then it's a PC????
The Amiga was an independent platform that was related to the PC as much as the Wii is related to the Playstation 3.
