Looking for a few games. Some of 'em are a longshot.
« on: September 04, 2004, 11:34:13 PM »
Hidey ho, neighborinos!

I'm currently trying to get back in to the Amiga at least in an emulation fashion, but not just to play trackloader games and whatnot (witness my current frustration with Aweb - GRR!).

However, I would like to try and track down a few games and apps for the Amiga, if at all possible.  Additionally, I want to do it on the up-and-up (e.g., no piracy, unless the games are legitimately free-releases like those of BTTR).

SO...without further ado, here's what I'm looking for.  Basically, I'm a wargamer at heart.  I really, really want to play the old SSI Advanced Dungeons and Dragons games, at least the first few (including Pool of Radiance).  Now I could probably grab these for the PC, but there's no slowdown tool in the world that'll make my 2ghz system run slow enough (keep your WinXP comments to yourselves!)

Additionally, SSI released a couple of AD&D utilities called "Dungeon Master's Assistant" (Volume 1 & 2), and I'd like to find one or both of those as well.  Got 'em for the PC but they're DOS based and while they run flawlessly, the text-only interface is a real pain sometimes and I understand that the Amiga version was a bit more advanced, so to speak.

Anyway, if one of you fine folks can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

The SSI gold box games come up on eBay fairly often.  The full set just sold for $75 a few days ago.

If you have or find any of these games for the PC, you ought to be able to play them easily using DOSBox, the free MS-DOS game environment emulator for Windows.

Well, it's also more that I'd like to play them on the Amiga (at least emulated) than just play them.  With the first few games, IIRC, the Amiga had better graphics at the time.

You think that's hard to find?  I'm looking for a legit copy of Sideshow, from Actionware.  It has manual protection, and I lost my manual.
