And if you live outside the US or Europe, you'll pay through the nose for it.

there has to be a more easyer way

cant i just download the game from the pc then put the game on a floppy then put it in my amiga?

No, there is no other way, you have to remember that the PC is not capable of writing a disk in Amiga format, unless you have a catweasal. I do it using WinUAE, a ZIP disk formated with FFS and a ZIP drive in each machine, works a treat.

He can transfer the file between the PC and the Amiga
using a Null Modem. Its really fairly easy.
Just run a Dos Term prg. on the PC and a Term prg. on
the Amiga. I used JR Com on my A500 and TelTerm on the PC.
Worked great. Should still be able to buy a Null Modem
at Radio Shack for just a few bucks ($5 to $10).

Far too slow if you ask me. Might as well go with emulation altogether.
