Hi,
if you wanting to find these sites then I guess you better start asking Google!
Ah! the kind friendship of Amiga.org members... ;-) I did ask Google, but the latter wasn't more helpful.
OK, to Nasty :
I would agree with you if we were talking about comercially available games, and if we were I wouldn't have started this thread, since I would have bought the games I was asking for. However, not only are numerous (if not most) Amiga games not available anymore, but even available games are perishable, hence unusable, soon if not already.
So let's consider three kinds of players. To date, downloading an original's replacement copy may be the only available solution to the problem of game owners, which nowadays is the problem of every honest person who plays floppy disks games. A person who does not own a game but wants to buy it, is or will soon be in one of the two following situations : he is unable to find the game he wants to buy, or there is no point in him purchasing the game since he knows it is or will soon be unusable. Those remaining people who wouldn't buy the games they play won't be able to make the situation worse since no Amiga game is still on the market, so today no Amiga game can suffer from their behaviour.
So what must we do ? In this situation, we have to choose between relying on people's honesty and preventing them to use what they own ; the first option is the most natural one. Since the third kind of person does not change anything to this situation, the second option isn't even justified. Anyway, honesty is not the result of adult prohibition but of child education.
In order to protect artists's interests and copyrights (which is a daily struggle as far as I'm concerned), to my knowledge only two solutions exist : to authorize a game's owner to download a replacement copy of his perishable game if one is available, or to re-release the game. Since no re-release is scheduled, I am entitled to download a replacement copy if one is available. And whenever I don't already own a game, I have to test it before trying to buy it, in case it would not be worth the hassle of years of eBay research (when it would be normal to order it from a computer shop), and deception of finally getting something unusable (but sometimes pleasant on a bookshelf).
By the way, the reason why I don't want ADF files is that they are not copies of the original game, but hacked-cracked ones, which mostly have altered the originals and are not compatible with WHDLoad installers. And since my floppy drives are getting old and shaking, I prefer not to use floppies at all whenever possible. Amiga floppy drives aren't manufactured anymore either.
Well, do you still believe I am wrong ?
