If any of you have been to http://www.gog.com (Good old games) it is very popular.
I myself have bought a number of games from them. Even some old dos games. The Gobliins trilogy was one of them.
There must be a lot of lost money by not selling the old Amiga titles.

If those games could be played on recent platforms without tinkering and/or modifications, I'm sure they'd sell.
As it is now, it's still a bit of a nerd niche, and besides, the nerds have already downloaded those games anyway. ;)

I sell old Amiga games... the problem is getting hold of them in the first place. When I do sell them, though, I can usually put them on a CD if the buyer wants so they can play in WinUAE or whatever, but to be honest most people who buy the actual game just want to play it on their Amiga.
There's a different mindset for emulators, including UAE - a kind of "it's not the real thing so I shouldn't pay for it, and I don't need the box" kind of mindset. Generally if people want to play on emulators they're happy with a downloadable version, when they want to play on the real thing, they want the full boxed version.
In my experience, anyway. YMMV. :)
