You, ninja, you! ;-p

I never played on an Amiga , but I'm really interested in thier classics.

Cloanto (aka Amiga Forever) have held a licence to distribute Kickstart and Workbench since the mid-90s.

Cloanto was actually previously famous for some great image processing software on the Amiga, although I forget what it was called.

Yes it's not free. But a huge part of the games can be run from their floppies, and don't need the OS, they only need the Kickstarter romsa lot is. Especailly on BTTR, where according to their about page: doubt they will contest someone they granted a non exclusive right to, also places like Team 17 won't sue Team 17 because Team 17 is hosting Team 17's copyrighted material.

Dos is one of the Few Old Computer based systems where there is "no real freeware" releases happening of old software, a lot of the other computer based has.

Kickstart IS the OS, or at least the kernel.

Why it wouldn´t be possible?
Why the companies who licensed their old PC games to be sold on GOG can´t do the same with their Amiga versions?
Why the average GOG user wouldn´t like to buy far superior versions of old school games?

I Have it more the Bios files, Amiga Os is the Workbench.

From Wikipedia:
Kickstart is the bootstrap firmware, usually stored in ROM. Kickstart contains the code needed to boot standard Amiga hardware

I stand corrected then - thanks for putting it right.

And I'm happy to have been wrong, since the real situation looks much brighter than the one I (mis)remembered. ;)

And who is the current owner of Kickstart?

It would be really cool to see the Amiga and other systems other than PC here on GOG. I'm really craving for C64.

FALSE
It uses the original ROM, so it´s licensed software.
WinUAE would be the "free" product, and then you need to download illegally the original ROM or transfer it from your Amiga computer

Wouldn't mind seeing these games on GOG:

Especially since Ambermoon itself never even saw an English release, the translation was finished just as the company was closed. Excellent cRPG's too.

Only a few English copies ever were sold.

Can't think of any other Amiga games I'd particularly like to see here, though I'm talking of "big" games that people would actually buy.

The problem is that Kickstart contains more than just boot code. It also handles the underlying OS interface. If you run Workbench 1.3 on an A1200, for example, you'll see the traditional Kickstart 3.0/3.1 interface in the garish 1.3 colours.

Calling it solely a bootstrap is misleading. It's essentially one half of the OS, its kernel.
Lotus Trilogy. No contest.

In fact, I'd be all for distributing CD32 games where one is available (anyone who's played the CD32 version of Fire and Ice will know what I mean). Would certainly make distribution easier instead of having to simulate disk swaps.

Technically its games were close to e.g. Sega Megadrive or SNES games, but it had more of PC-like games too (CRPGs, flight sims, strategy, point&click adventure games..), but also console-like stuff like platform jumping games, shoot'em ups and such. It excelled mostly with 2D scrolling games.

The importance for me mostly is that Amiga had superior versions of many late 80s and early 90s PC games.

Amiga Forever is currently the only Legal way to obtain the Kickstarter roms

For c64 there is a free version available here: http://www.c64forever.com/

that would be free at BTTR :D

Why no console games then? I think DotEmu sells them too. To me Amiga (gaming) was always something between PC and console gaming anyway.

Are the Raiden Legacy games sold on GOG original PC versions, or are there also some emulated console or arcade versions there too?
