Not sold for Amiga anymore so either download or look for it second hand on eBay.
It's a great game, I would recommend using whdload for it if you can.

Ebay would be the best place to try. Maybe try some of the other Amiga sites too to see if anyone is selling a copy.

Another option could be, get the pc version off Ebay, and use scummvm if your Amiga can run it.

Guessing atleast 040 for decent speeds in ScummVM AGA atleast. But it's an option atleast :)

The Amiga port is extremely buggy - even with all the patches - and there's no music. ScummVM is the way to go here. It runs the Amiga datafiles better than the original Amiga executable, and the music works!

I always own an Amiga 1200D and only an Amiga 1200D. I will have it with a 68040 with 64 MB of RAM (if 64 MB of RAM possible).

It will be using AGA and only I use AGA. So would these settings work.

That machine will run a lot of Scummvm games nice :) I run quite a bunch on my 030 so you will do a lot better :)

Here is what you want http://aminet.net/game/misc/ScummVM_AGA_040.lha

To get a legit copy of the game, you can try looking through GOG.com catalogs.  They have a bunch of old games retuned (Dos boxed) for modern Computers.  Since this will have the original files, you could then use Scummvm on them.

*EDIT*

Here's a link.  It's DRM free so there should be no problems getting the files over to the Amiga...
