Finding an old Amiga game converted onto PC

There are various programs available to emulate and Amiga, but it is totally illegal to download the games (ROMs), except in the rare circumstance where the original author has said that the game is now public domain (eg the guy who wrote Leisure Suit Larry has made a few of his games available).  This is regardless of whether you used to own the game, or whether the game is available to buy.

If you still have the damaged disks then try to get in touch with the company.  They may send/sell you another copy, or give you permission to download from somewhere.

Amiga Forever is a CD of legal Amiga software.  It includes Kickstart (which as you may remember is the equivalent of DOS and is required to do anything), and a whole lot of other stuff (maybe even this game).  There are still some serious Amiga freaks out there, and they spend their time hassling old software companies and authors to get their games legally.

Here are some links for the Ulitimate Amiga Emulater, which is my favorite

Any luck?

Following on from the comment regarding using an emulator to play the game - the disk images for Supercars 2 can be found at : http://www.back2roots.org/ where I believe they can be legally downloaded and used.

Good site - looks legit (http://www.back2roots.org/About/Project/Disclaimer/).

Oooh!  Uridium 2!  Still can't find Barbarian though : ( .

You have several questions open:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20150628
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20150469
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?qid=20085584

To assist you in your cleanup, I'm providing the following guidelines:

1.  Stay active in your questions and provide feedback whenever possible. Likewise, when feedback has not been provided by the experts, commenting again makes them receive an email notification, and they may provide you with further information. Experts have no other method of searching for questions in which they have commented, except manually.

2.  Award points by hitting the Accept Comment As Answer button located above and to the left of that expert's comment.

3.  When grading, be sure to read:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3
to ensure that you understand the grading system here at EE. If you grade less than an A, you must explain why.

4.  Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted. To PAQ or delete a question, you must first post your intent in that question to make the experts aware. Then, if no experts object after three full days, you can post a zero-point question at community support to request deletion or PAQ. Please include the link(s) to the question(s).
CS:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
At that point, a moderator can refund your points and PAQ or delete the question for you. The delete button does not work.

5.  If you fail to respond to this cleanup request, I must report you to the Community Support Administrator for further action.

Our intent is to get the questions cleaned up, and not to embarrass or shame anyone. If you have any questions or need further assistance at all, feel free to ask me in this question or post a zero-point question at CS. We are very happy to help you in this task!


thanks!

A great help.

Thanks.

Please follow my instructions and tell experts WHY you have graded them with less than an A. (I am talking about the grades you gave at two of the questions listed above, not this one.)

thanks!
