Well it could be the 8000+ Amiga Game ADF disk images... :)

Or

It could be the Workbench Disk Sets... :)

Or

It could be the Kickstart ROM images... :)

Not sure really he didn't say much... :)


Only Commodore branded games are their concern (were there even any for Amiga like in the VIC/C64/C16 days?) unless they own any old gaming companies. The rest is illegal yes :roflmao:

Just because the 'from:' bit is marked as commodore@amiga.com doesn't mean it came from there really either. You need the full path of the incoming message showing it was sent from a server on the Amiga.com domain.

Cinemaware have allowed free distribution for a decade now, but not for resale though.

You can look at it differently: 9.99EUR for ROM 1.3 and OS 1.3, 29.99EUR for all ROMs and Workbench versions. And you get a free simulation program with it that you may choose not to use.

greets,
Staf.

You don't get the ROMs at all, you get a file on a DVD/CD that costs 10 pence to produce.

REAL ROMs that need to be manufactured cost less! And Cloanto are scum full stop. No arguments allowed. If you can't see that charging £30 for some files that were on the net for half a decade, 2 seconds of encryption and a FREE Windows emulator written by someone STUPID enough to allow Cloanto to sell it is a rip-off then you're an idiot :)

When Cloanto finance £99 040 accelerator card production or £299 Natami mass production I will have respect for them...until then I have more respect for what my bran flakes produce at the bottom of the toilet bowl when I get up in the morning :roflmao:

Far far superior Amiga DVDs are produced which cram 20gb of games, magazines, MP3 tunes and cover art all on ONE DVD exist. F**K Cloanto and their sheep brained followers lining their filthy pockets

*flame proof jacket on and zipped up*

You may now commence to call me a pirate and what not in your pathetic defence of this scumbag scam called 'Amiga Forever' now

edit: Oh and C64 Forever is an even bigger scam, highly illegal in games included aspect and even more of a rip-off. Almost forgot that giant smelly turd brother to Amiga Forever whoops

Are you sure? Are you a lawyer or are you just guessing?


If you own said Amiga and have the ROM and don't download that identical version of Kickstart via torrent* it is no different to creating the Kickstart rom file using a real Amiga and a program to read out the contents of your own machine's ROM to a file to use with WinUAE.

No different to ripping a CD track to MP3 to play on your media player vs downloading identical music track in MP3 format saving you the effort of ripping it yourself.

(*if you download via a torrent you are technically partially seeding the file helping others download who don't own an Amiga for a few milliseconds potentially...other than that there is no legal issue)

Nope just the truth mate. People purchasing Amiga Forever however may well be on the time of the month/odd lunar cycle :roflmao:
