Total Chaos plays like crap on an emulator, you've got that right.  And you'll need at least 32 megs of fast RAM to get the latest version to work also.

We are trying to work on something for the emulators though.  It's just hard to find a PC that runs natively at 640x512 resolution.

If all you want is cracks, you can probably play them on WinUAE just fine.  If the A1200 doesn't work out for you then you can always buy a Catweasel floppy controller for your PC and then you'll be able to read the 880k floppies just fine under WinUAE.

Amigas may not be very cool any more but the sad part of it is that Windows requires such astronomical amounts of resources just to get the same level of performance Amiga got out of next-to-nothing.  Except for 3d stuff that requires a big processor to do all the extra maths, Amiga still does surprisingly well on very little.
