Afternoon all,

I bought an Amiga on ebay last year to try to recreate my youth, now there is nothing wrong with it, what I am wondering if there is an emulator availiable and the is there games that can be downloaded so I can play them on my pc? Just some of the games soring ot mind are James Pond, Wings, Indy 500, Sensible Soccer and others be great if there were of playing these.

Right i thought i had done the process but nothing happened I dont suppose anyone has a step by step guide on how to do this emulator thingy do they?!!

Im not sure of the way to download the right things etc etc?

Sorry for not making much sense!

apparently you need some kickstart roms
Amiga Kickstart Roms (Complete) - TOSEC v0.04 (download torrent) - TPB (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3350593/Amiga_Kickstart_Roms_(Complete)_-_TOSEC_v0.04)

hi,

pleanty of kickstart roms about, do a search on google for kick.rom and see if you can find some (i think you will). Once downloaded pop that into the UAE folder then when you open UAE tell it where the rom file is (normally in the UAE folder).

That should get you running, just grab some ADF files (disk images of amiga floppies) again google for them :)

cheers,

Oh one last thing how do you load the 2nd disk?

[chroma]

look through the settings of UAE theres an option to enable up to 4 floppy drives.

Games to look out for:
Beneath a Steel Sky the best amiga game ive ever played.
Galaga Deluxe, seriously addictive especialy with beer and a few friends.
Lure of the Temptress simmilar to beneath.
Cannon Fodder 1 although 2 is ok
Syndicate, this game blew my mind later levels become difficult and the last level on that tiny island is neigh on impossable.
Atoms (an indy game programed with AMOS available on one of the linux format disks)
Deluxe Paint IV for making mindblowing images, although seriously crappy compared to nowadays.
Night Breed.
Shadow of the Beast.
Lemmings.
Civilization.
Pirates!
Populous 1.
Shadowlands
Speedball 2, ive never seen any other sports simlator come nearly as close to how awesome this was.
Boulder Dash
Myst.

Beneath a steel sky you can run in widows using SCUMMVM. Check out ScummVM :: Downloads (http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/)

Deluxe Galaga has been remade on the PC by teh same author and is now known as Warblade. Check out Warblade - the classic arcade shoot'em up game! Home of Warblade - Deluxe Galaga - Deluxe Pacman (http://www.warblade.as/index.asp)

You should be able to find most other games at Lemon Amiga - Games, Download, Emulator, Cheats & Forum (http://www.lemonamiga.com/)
