Genre & year of release doesn't matter.

I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Amiga games, save for what I know from PC ports, and a few liberated releases like Putty Squad and Perihelion.

It'd be nice if someone could point me towards a free downloads site like RGB Classic Games or dosgames.com. So far I've only found a big listing of free games here, without any downloads attached, and very little actual information on game developers and publishers to verify that the freeware games they list are indeed such.

They have new mods to read actual Amiga disks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ0g7lQQVus

Cloanto Amiga and c64 forever, for some reason c64 games seem to work on the amiga forever emulators... They have free demos of the emulators. Newer versions of Amiga for real hardware is also commercially available... Amiga 4 and up I think.
