Anyone can find .adf (Amiga Disk File) images, but usually they're poorly cracked or copied versions, resulting in unpreventable Software Errors (Guru Meditations). I'll wager there's more like me who'd pay a premium for first-hand scans of original Amiga game disks for our WinUAE (or emulator of choice). It's possible that the original owners of the IPs, who've taken on new names (DMA Design are now Rockstar, Core are now Eidos are now Square, and so on), might still have the original programs stashed away somewhere. Those Liverpudlian chaps are a mite more fanatic about the machine than most, so that would be a great place to start.

Vote for "Port Amiga Games" (even though, by strict definition, it's not exactly "porting") in the Wishlist.

That could be very difficult. When I realized Amiga Forever contains cracked ROMs, I tracked down and asked some of the developers about it to make sure I hadn't bought an infringing bundle. They all told me the cracked ROMs are the only versions still available.
I'd love to see the following:

Blood Money
Dungeon Master
Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun
Flashback: The Quest For Identity
It Came From The Desert & Antheads: It Came From The Desert II
The Killing Game Show
Lemmings, Oh No! More Lemmings, Christmas Lemmings & Lemmings 2: The Tribes
Shadow Of The Beast 1-3
Troddlers
Turrican 1-3

Perihelion is available for free from one of its original developers (the artist, specifically).

I've been meaning to try this one out.
But they are not PC games, they are console games, Amiga is a console. DOSbox and ScummVM are different of course, because they simply emulate games that were originally on PC anyway, just not Windows.

Crosmando: Amiga is a console.
The Amiga is a family of personal computers marketed by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s.

Quoth Wikipedia:
The Amiga is a family of personal computers
And in any case, Gog did suggest they are considering adding console games in the future.

Edit: D'oh! Ninja'd.

Edit 2: Source:
"If GOG.com were to add games from a platform other than PC in the future, which would you choose?" You can choose from: Amiga, Commodore 64, Sega Genesis (Megadrive), Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Neogeo and Arcade.

Get that obscure stuff on here! :) Even ... or especially if it's free. (But if it takes a lot of work to get it out for people, I can certainly understand charging money for the effort.)
It doesn't matter if the games have been legally released as free to play for non-commercial usage, as long as the people who... own... the Kickstarter roms continue to demand money for legal licenses to use them, we'll never see the games here. Or anywhere else.

Legally, that is.

A Nintendo Entertainment System is a console. An Amiga is a computer. Know the difference.
Amiga games would most certainly be welcome here

Who do you think I was talking about?

I REFUSE to support them. As long as they charge money for the needed files to run these games WE WILL NEVER HAVE LEGALLY DOWNLOADABLE AMIGA GAMES FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE, because while sites could include the emulator and the game, they'd still have to pay a licensing fee for the stupid rom files, which would increase the price.

At least with GOG, there's DOSBox.

What? The Amiga was never a console, Commodore developed the CD32 system that was a dedicated game console. I think that's what you were refering too. The Amigas' downfall was Commodore's shitty marketing, it was way ahead of it's time, too many 'serious computer users' dubbed it as a toy. It still is my most favorite machine that i ever owned.

At least they are SELLING those ROMs. MS doesn’t even bother to sell their legacy OSs, Roland refuses to sell MT-32 ROM files and Sony does not sell PSX ROM.

In my book it’s better to pay a royalty for using legacy OS and have legitimate way for retrogaming than not to have such option at all.
