One twin that I have experience with, the Seminole, does have counter

Out of curiosity does this have a marked effect on it's operation compared
with the other twins you've flown?
Any procedures different because of it?

Most aircraft engines rotate counter clockwise as you are in front of the
aircraft looking at it. It is desirable for single engine operations, the
downward stroke of the propeller be next to the fuselage. For this the
right engine would need to rotate clockwise (as looking back from the
front). Most twins don't do this and right engine only handling become
"difficult".
