Should Old/Classic Amiga Games/Software Be Free?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hey Yo!

I was thinking that maybe Amiga games and software should be made to be downloaded legally. I am referring to the old/classic Amiga stuff that are no longer profitable. I think the Amiga scene's problem (apart from English Amiga Board), is that they still think we live in the 80's/early 90's. I think by doing the above, the Amiga scene may get a rebirth (in terms of retro department). Look what they have done in the ZX Spectrum scene. They are making stuff free, as well as the C64 scene. It is arguable, that because of this, it's the reason why the Speccy and C64 scenes are still thriving today. :-)

Hey Yo!

Oh yes, i forgot B2TR! My bad! :-) I think the others are illegal though, B2TR being the only legal site about. But (although it's a good site and i respect their work), it doesn't have too many games.

Hey Yo!

Better delete the last link Phsyco Sid! :-) I want this to be a discussion thread, not a locked thread! :-)

Why do you always have to repsond with such a negative tone. As i have already pointed out, i am making a discussion, not an arguement. Now come on, be a professional here Wayne, and not a jerk who always works against me instead of working with me.

Mmm.

Where was the negativity?

Thought it was constructive and a damn fine business opportunity for anyone who wants to develop a site for downloading abandonware.

Wayne, you have your head screwed on, and yes this is a discussion and you, I think, are now included in it.

I wasn't sayign that it would be me setting up a site for downloading illegal games. I am not that good enough. I was merely discussing the Amiga scene and hopw it still seems to be time warped in the hey days of Amiga.

Well, personal annoyance with CU aside, that's exactly what I was trying to say.  The important word here is "legal".

Oh yes, of course. I completely agree with that comment.
