@bubba

As someone already pointed out you can find a webpage on Amiga Flame which acts as an access point making it easier to locate Amiga games from a variety of (legal) sources.

Amiga Retro Titles

@all
If you are interested in preserving Amiga's incredible place in gaming history it would be beneficial if contact could be established with the people behind Back 2 The Roots and Amiga Emulation for Beginners.  With their permission the games they had could become available through other websites such as Amiga Land or Amiga Future's site.

If anyone has any contact information then please post the information.

@all

I found this important piece of news from a web forum for Amiga Emulation for Beginners.  It dates to the end of January and may indicate that this vital website will make a welcome return.  In addition, the administrator may have picked up games from Back 2 The Roots.

It might be useful to ask for an update on his progress on the new website, and to offer assistance.

Here is the forum and the message

Hiya Folks

Well it's Nearing time, Amiga Emulation for Beginners is Neraly Completed.

This, in itself has taken alot of time, please understand the reasons for this:

Work for 1 reason,
I work long hours and barely find time for Emulation these days
My Family Comes first

The main reason though is that because of the splits in BTTR everything kinda went everywhere and finding people who have the permissions was nearenough impossible, and if they can't be found because of Legal reasons games can't be posted.

However after Many many months of trying to get things sorted we are nearly there.

So! what can you expect from the new Amiga Emulation for Beginners.

Well here's a list

Legal Games Downloads.
Wallpapers and Temes.
Bginners guides (In HTML, WOrd DOC and PDF).
Emulation Downloads
ADF Collections (Like Assassins and games Galore)
Freeware Games
Applications
Educational Content

This is just a small part of what will be there, Amiga Emulation for Beginners aims to be (in the future) as bg and as popular as BTTR.

So please be patient and bear with us we understand it's taking it's time.

If you want to help or feel you can help in any way then PLEASE contact us.

Thanks for your patience

According to Moby Games, they developed Manhunter: New York and Manhunter 2: San Fransisco for the Amiga platform. A review of Manhunter can be found here: http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/reviews/162/
