Which OS to play Amiga games???

@Roman,  Your best option if you already have a PC that is at least a Pentium III/800mHz w/256mb RAM is to buy Colanto's Amiga Forever 2005 and a Catweasle Mk4 floppy controller.

It will emulate any kind of Amiga and run alomst anything except the programs that require additional hardware installed inside or attached to the real Amiga like the Video Toaster or something like that.  AF2005 has WinUAE included and a program that keeps it up to date automatically if you are connected to the Internet.  The Catweasle makes your PC floppy able to read and write Amiga formatted floppy disks, so you can transfer all your original Amiga games to the PC hard drive and stop worrying about losing them due to corrupted disks.

AF2005 has gotten so good it is easier to use and switch configurations to run more different kinds of Amiga software than a real Amiga. (But I will never sell all of my Amigas, just maybe reduce the number from 18 down to 6 or

@Roman,

Okay, here is the link to Amiga Forever, which you can order online the great program Amiga Forever 2005 in either an online download edition or the full edition that includes one CD-ROM and two DVD's of historical content like the original launch of the Amiga, interviews of Jay Miner, the father of the Amiga, etc.  Info regarding the Catweasel Mk4 that can be bought from many resellers like AmigaKit, Software Hut and probably many others.

I have this setup on my son's recently built PC and it works absolutely great.  I cannot say enough about it praises and I am very glad to know that when that last Real Classic Amiga finally dies (many years from now) due to a custom chip failure that cannot be replaced because they are finally all gone, the Amiga will live on very well in emulation for generations to come.

(P III/800mHz is what I would consider a minimum config, faster w/ more RAM is always better for emulation)
