You REALLY should get a 4GB Compact Flash card on a CF-IDE adapter, install Workbench and WHDLoad, install a few thousand Amiga games and a boot menu, and forget those old compatibility problems and untrustworthy floppy disks.

Oh Slyder, it's not that hard really! Perhaps someone here might be friendly enough to set up the CF card for you, so all you would need to do is unscrew five screws from the bottom of the case, open the case, plug in the CF adapter (it will plug straight in), close the case and do up the five screws again. From that point on, if you don't stick a floppy disk in first the Amiga will boot up into Workbench or a games selector menu, depending on how it's set up. You have no idea what you're missing out on if you limit yourself to floppy disk software.

If you're still determined to get the game running from floppy disk, since you own at least one legit copy of the game you shouldn't feel bad about downloading the cracked version of the game, writing it back to floppy, and playing that on your A1200 since it seems like the only version that will work on your default setup. You will need to find a way to get the ADF file back onto your Amiga so you can write it to floppy though.
