1. I don't think you can play CD32 games on an A1200 without a CD32 ROM image and EUAE (although the reverse is certainly possible).

2.  To uninstall a program just delete it.  There is no special uninstaller except a utility on the Aminet (http://www.aminet.net) that deletes the files an installer script asks for.

3.  There are several on the Aminet but don't expect to be able to play PC animations on a stock A1200.  You'll need more memory and a faster processor than the A1200 comes with.  One of my favorites is HippoPlayer in the mus/play directory on the Aminet.  It plays lots of music file formats on non-PowerPC Amigas.

No need for all that. If you insert a CD32 CD in the CD drive, you can access it as any normal disk, so just open the disk icon and execute the game file and it plays just fine.

i don't have any cd32 game to try but until now i thought that it needs a cd32 emulator (includet in idefix package) to play these games.


-edit-
@2J4EZ: and os3.1 support these filetypes and much more. search on aminet for corresponding datatypes http://aminet.net/search.php?path=util/dtype
