Will the Amiga ever regain it's footing in games?

@KingTutt:

One minor detail: Amiga doesn't hold the copyright on ANY of these games :-(. And I think a LOT of the original master disks/source codes have been lost forever. Even IF the company still exists (and if it doesn't....who do you contact to get the sources? The author(s)? Where does he live? Does he still have mastercopies?).

It's a great idea...but impossible to realise.

@KingTutt:
Game makers like Cinemaware, Psygnosis, Infogrames, Interplay are still corporate entities in their own right.

Actually Psygnosis is completely assimilated by Sony. :-(.

Might wanna check out psygnosis.org. Nice site, bit empty but still.

I thought I read that Psygnosis were buying themselves back from Sony?
Maybe I am wrong. Anyway the link you gave is not affiliated to Psygnosis or Sony. It also lists them seperately.

Yes I know...it's an *.ORG site...so that usually is a not an official site =). It's just a fansite. But if you do go to psygnosis.com you end up at a Sony PSX site.

It would be great news if Psyg would buy itself out! But if you read the stories on Psygnosis.org it becomes clear that the original team is pretty cut up to pieces. (But that info is 2 years old).

That site rocks! Might have a go at making my coverdisk collection immortal, those disks aren't gonna live for ever!.
