Amiga Games bought in Mainstream store!!

Also some shops are still selling  "Gremlin compilation"  which should not be allowed as the games shoved on the cd are just pirate versions.

No, I remember Gremlin Compilation - some of the games are cracked versions because Gremlin no longer had the original code, and/or their protection prevented them from putting them on CD.  This is an official and totally legal CD, it is just unfortunate that circumstances mean Gremlin had to resort to cracked copies of their code due to the protection, erm, stopping people from copying them.

There is no excuse, using cracked versions of games is a insult to the buyer and it is no wonder that warez compilation got slated in Amiga mags.

No, I agree, it would have been far better if they had used jst/WHDLoad but I guess the required installers weren't available at the time.  I was just pointing out that even though it appears to be illegal, it actually isn't.

Why not send an email in Gary Peake's direction?  I'm sure he can clear up whether they do have a licence to include the Kickstart ROM code.  As far as I am aware, the only licenced emulator distribution is Amiga Forever - certainly that was the case a few years ago, and I doubt this has changed.
