Wonderful news. Seeing both "Amiga" and "Cinemaware" names on GOG is like a dream come true!

Wow, incredible news!
If they intend (fingers crossed) to bring the superior Amiga versions, I wonder how they intend to solve the legal problem with Amiga ROM:s? Maybe a nice deal with Cloanto (Amiga Forever)? I know I transferred my original Kickstart ROM:s to PC many years ago... or it might be an interesting trip down memory lane to bring them out and try a new transfer.
Hopefully I can keep myself from telling the kids that these games had amazing graphics to spare me the humiliation.

I hope they use WinUAE with WHDLoad (http://whdload.de/).

Could well just be the ADF files as they were taken down from the main site some time ago, doubtful it will be a fully emulated experience as even the Kickstart files are copyright. Who knows though, will have to wait and see next week :D

Will they be money-free too? Like they used to be when Cinemaware put their games on their site for free? (They're all gone last I checked)

does WHDLoad support any Cinemaware games?
amok: I am very curios how they are going to handle the Amiga versions.
This, frankly, is the reason why gOg should exist, nothing else.
