Simpler games work fast enough, just as you thought, but even games like Galaga (which has 3 Z80 processors) are not quite fast enough.

1942, 1943, Amidar, Arkanoid, Bomb Jack, Commando, Crazy Kong, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Galaxian, Gun SMoke, Moon Patrol, Scramble, Zaxxon, etc are fast enough and very playable
