Where do I get software legally?

[Tomas]

As far as I'm concerned, if nobody archives anything associated with the classic Amiga, it will be all as dust within five years.

Completely agree... Is sad but true

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.

Licenses are also used to extend the owner's right over the software and how it is used. Most people don't read the license agreements and that's what is profitable for companies. For example, did you know that if you send a file to someone over MSN Messenger, Microsoft reserves the right to claim that software as his own? It's all right there in the EULA.

They are not always legally binding. If they contradict with the law then the law comes first.

I was in e-mail contact with the author of AmiBroker a month or 2 back.  I asked him if I could legally purchase the Amiga version.  He said no, but that he'd also like to release the Amiga version into the public domain.  Maybe you can follow up & finally get him to release that wonderful piece of software.

BTW, where can I get the English docs to CYCAS that I downloaded from your Amiga Future web site?  If my Yiddish was any better, I might understand the German docs a bit better.

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

Andreas,

     I just forwarded you the e-mail the AmiBroker author sent me when I asked him if I could register the Amiga version to your e-mail account listed in your profile here.

     BTW, could you ask the CYCAS authors if they might still have the English docs?  Thanks in advance.

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/
