At last count, I have over 1000 vintage (mid to late 80s) Amiga DD disks, full of commercial software.  Including: SideWinder, Gods, Silkworm, DiskMaster, AMax, Pagestream V1.5, etc.  I probably have every Amiga program that was released in the 80s.  I personally am looking for Workbench 2.04 (all 4 disks).  Every time I have bid on these on eBay, I was outbid.  If you need a vintage Amiga program, lets talk buying or trading.     :-D

To lempkee:

Yes, I received a pre-release commercial copy of the game Gods in 1989 for beta testing.  Gods was released in Europe toward the end of 1989.  It was released in the US in 1990 and won Game of the Year!  Gods also won a few Gold Awards in Europe and Game of the Year in several gaming magazines.  Gods was also released for the Super Nintendo in 1991 to 1992.  Many 2nd releases of the game was released for the Amiga and Atari ST computers around the same time that the SNES version hit the market.     :-D

To bloodline:

You are right about that, the vintage Amiga software must be saved!     :-D

To Lo:

Try running Gods using Kickstart / Workbench 1.3 and if the sprites still do not display properly, then use a Rev 4.x motherboard.  Many of the vintage Amiga games do not like the ECS Chip Set.  They prefer the OCS Chip Set.     :-P

Hey everybody:

After checking my files I have discovered that I am wrong about the dates I posted on the whole Gods issue.  Just add about 1 1/2 years to those dates I listed (excluding the SNES dates, they are correct).  Then the text will be correct.     :-D
