Back in the day I used to have an commodore Amiga, and I want to download some of the games I played as a young un.

 

So can any one point me in the right direction as I would rather get them for free "

 

Any help would be graet

I hope you aren't suggesting anything illegal!

 

(Have you tried google?)

I have just found ou also that I have to download a programme which enables me to download games designed for floppy disk to my HD

Have you tried a peer-to-peer network? You may find a precompiled bundle with every Amiga game.

No I haven't

 

Any links/names you know of would be good (like I said im lazy, and also im at work so any searching on google has to be in quick bursts, or I while have to wait till I go home, and thats no fun)

Peer-to-peer networks are accessed via programs like Shareaza, Emule, Bear Share, Kazaa, etc.

Cheers Ender you are a legend

 

Monkey Island here I come

Kazaa is horrible about Adware, they used to have Kazaa Lite but that became the "Pay ME" program... if your looking for a Bittorrent program try Another Bit Torrent Client (ABC) or BitLord... "

I still have a free version of Kazaa Lite K++, but I never use it. I find that Shareaza works quite well and has no adware. It connects to 3 different networks, and downloads bitTorrent files as well.

I'm slowly beginning to understand how you guys are able to play (seemingly) every single game out there, often on several different platforms too..

UNless you're in a hurry, eMule is the way to go. Its contents don't become obsolete as happens with BT, and it's got virtually everything. Don't use to d/l illegal content or porn though. ANd if you do, you didn't hear it from me. "

try this:

 

A good selection of games; Hungarian abandonware site

 

(One of the rare sites where it's still possible to find the classics for free)

 

Also, among old game companies, Cinemaware and Factor 5 release their Amiga games for free, on their websites. Be sure to check these out if you were a Wings, or Turrican fan.

 

You'll need an emulator as well; I use WinUAE which has worked seamlessly for me up to now:

 

Website for the WinUAE Amiga Emulator

 

for the kickstart roms (which you're going to need if you're running WinUAE) then check this out:

 

Rom files for Amiga 500 and 1200

 

for the Commodore 64, just google "CCS64" and visit the Ever growing site for C64 disk images

 

(On Emule, it's possible to dl a series of archives that are supposed to contain EVERY amiga game ever released; you must have already found what I'm referring to.)

UNless you're in a hurry, eMule is the way to go. Its contents don't become obsolete as happens with BT, and it's got virtually everything. Don't use to d/l illegal content or porn though. ANd if you do, you didn't hear it from me.  "

Shareaza connects to the eDonkey network like eMule, but also connects to Gnutella and Gnutella2, and downloads bitTorrents. Shareaza is da bomb, fo nizzle.

Cheers for all the help gents, I will give it a try over the weekend and let you know how things go

There's a website that only hosts software that was given permission by the original developers.

 

Its

back to the roots.

Should be easy to find in google.
