Hrmm...Flirting with insurrection here. We try to avoid the whole "Where can I download---Download it from here" discussion. Fortunately, Hippie2000 has obtained permission for distribution of a large number of Amiga titles. Some aren't available for download if you're from the U.K.

Ami Sector One has also become "legal"

You may find some at one site that aren't at the other.
In general, I would tend to say "the majority of them", but it's a matter of taste. Late '80s/Early 90's titles that were available for both the PC and the Amiga tended to favor the Amiga.
If I were to type up a list, it would be quite a long one. Some like:
1869
688 Attack Sub
A-Train
Ambermoon
Amberstar
Black Crypt (a mini-demo of this was made for Win95)
Black Sect
Budokan
Darkmere
Deflektor
Deuteros
DOOM (kidding...use a Windows port)
Dragonstone
Fire & Ice
Hard Nova
Immortal, The
Keef the Thief
Lethal Xcess
Lure of the Temptress
Populous
Populous II
Powermonger
Sword of Sodan
Syndicate
http://www.cinemaware.com/ has released:
Defender of the Crown
S.D.I.
King of Chicago
Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon
Rocket Ranger
Lords of the Rising Sun
TV Sports Football
It Came From the Desert
TV Sports Basketball
Antheads: It Came From the Desert II
Wings
TV Sports Boxing
TV Sports Baseball
Only 3 Stooges seems to be held back. Oddly enough, they keep talking about PC re-releases but I never see anything come out...
Allright, enough distraction for/from me...
thanks. sounds like a good place to start!
It would be cool if there were a list of paypal accounts for all the old developer teams. I'd totally shoot a fiver to, say, legend entertainment. I try to buy games when I can but, as we know, there are some that just aren't available any more.
