Hello is gog.com playing to add amiga emulated games for example trapped 1,2, wasted dreams, foundation, on escapee?

Amiga emulation is too much in a muddle due to licensing of roms. Cinemaware managed to do some deal and used roms embedded into their own Amiga emulator - but Amiga Inc., Cloanto and Hyperion Entertainment have the rights to the Amiga Kickstarter files. It looks like deals need to be done on a case-to-case basis at the moment, and without extensive support from developers it is quite a hassle.

My favorite Amiga-exclusive games:

Ambermoon
Captive (not sure if this was Amiga exclusive)
Liberation - Captive II
Fate - Gates Of Dawn
Black Crypt
Crystal Dragon
Abandoned Places 2

Captive was also released on Atari ST and DOS.

OnEscapee was good, still got the cd for it \o/

Oooh, dreams of getting Alien Breed 3D on here..... *drools*

Oh yeah those games, they could of been huge successes if they released on DOS too.

If you are looking for FPS games, then I would recommend Genetic Species, or [url=http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=1407]Gloom Deluxe.

Alien Breed 3d is a fine game, but in my opinion, these 3 are the best FPS games (in that order) for the Amiga.

What I was talking about is how Amiga has many gems that are forgotten because of how the Amiga died and IBMcomputers "won" the computer race so to speak.

aye, and the sad thing is that there is no-one else to blame for it then Amiga inc... The '94 bankruptcy, followed by the '96 ESCOM bankruptcy... most of that mess could have been avoided.

Yes, I believe Amiga had a large customer (especially in Europe) and lots of profit, and it was well ahead of it's competitor's (technologically) for years. It was the bad business practices of the Amiga Inc itself which did them in.

I'd love to see some classic Amiga games here. There tends to be issues with regards to the Kickstart rom needed to play, but if you look at some of the cinemaware games on here, they include an amiga emulated version, so there might be hope??

Also, it'd be nice if Superfrog and the cannon fodder games came with an Amiga version added. The DOS versions tended to be more tricky to play it seems.

It was Commodore who screwed up and not just on the Amiga front.
The Plus/4, C16, C128 and A600 were wastes and even though many people love the A1200, it just wasn't enough of an improvement over the A500 to keep up with PCs.
Your best bet these days is to get a refurbished A1200 with a CF card in it with near enough all the games on it.

I love the Amiga and wish it was still relevant in todays market.

Knightmare was a favourite of mine.

There are tons of Amiga games that only use the operating system for loading the first part of themselves, then proceed to kill the OS and take over the hardware themselves.

I keep thinking that it shouldn't be a hard problem to arrange an emulated environment for such games in a way that the first part - or the whole game for that matter - is already loaded when it starts up, and no undistributable system ROM is needed at all.

Americans killed the Amiga, by not buying lots of it like we Europeons did.

Personally though, I jumped ship to PC when I realized that PC simply is getting the prime platform for the kind of games I cared the most. Amiga seemed to be mostly stuck in its own generation when it comes to games (the target machine for games was a vanilla A500 for so many years), and AGA was too little too late.

In that sense I didn't feel that bad seeing Amiga becoming a part of history. It was a great gaming computer for its time, but time to move on. PC gaming seemed to evolve more rapidly with times, which was both a blessing and a curse (to those who hated having to upgrade their PCs from time to time).
