Amiga games on the PC?

[itix]

060 should have enough juice to run some old MS-DOS games but better try PC-Task or similar instead.

That would be great.

Im thinking thought PC Task might not run the games very well on my setup and apparantly shapeshifter is a faster emulator. Does anyone know where I can get games that run on shapeshifter? I might find the Mac versions of the games I want to play

See www.abandonia.com.

Dizzy - Prince of the Yolk Folk

Most of those games play nicely on Amiga with DosBox.

Why play those games in Dosbox on the Amiga, while the same games can be played better natively or with Whdload? :-?

There was a site called macintosh garden I think which you might google for. Shapeshifter is good, but with AGA you may find that Fusion is better, although since I got my Mediator I can no longer get it to run. The other thing is don't believe it when people say that hardfiles are too slow. If you format your partition with the right files system, they are really fast.

Another World among others. Basically the one I know about. Not entirely free though.

Edit: Just remembered another: Rolling Madness 3D (Marble Madness-ish. Very!)

I've found what I believe to my PC-task hardfile which should have DOS on it, and I think Mechwarrior. If you want to pm me, with an e-mail address, I'll send it to you, if you like. Its a 10 meg hardfile, but it lha's down to 3 megs.

Cheers.

AI is selling some on their website.

What about the Amiga Classix for PC? Are those collections legal? I know they run under UAE.

I have Rainbow islands and Bubble Bobble but am wondering what other ones are out there and where to look for them?

For example Wings of Fury (manual).

Lemmings, Cannon Fodder, Theme Park, Worms, Gods - to name but a few!

Who doesn't remember Turrican? Great graphic, great music.

Here is the PC version.

Zool2 was better on PC than the amiga (both ecs and aga versions). Works pretty well under emulation both with pc-taks and dosbox. As for 68k mac emulation there's some good games that never made it to amiga that where available for 68k mac. Warcraft1/2 and the earlier Alone In The Dark games (up to no.3) amongst others.
