Do we have a section about emulating Atari ST or Amiga 500?
I used an ST from 1986-1990 and found many games of that time to be better implemented on ST than PC (mouse, colors, sound!). Some were even better on Amiga 500, but I needed the black&white 70Hz display back then for work.
I would like to play/see some of these games again.
If we don't have such a section, what would be the best equivalent to Vogons relating to ST and Amiga?
Thanks for information.

I think STEEM is what everybody uses [for ST]? I remember messing about with that some years ago.

Is this too much voodoo?

WinUAE is a pretty good Amiga emulator , for forums try English amiga board or A1K.org
and maybe atariage for atari stuff?

The closest thing here to an ST or Amiga subforum would be PC Emulation:

PC Emulation

Here's an Amiga forum I'm on that is geared to real and emulated Amigas:

Don't know of any ST related forums unfortunately. I agree that I preferred ST games over PC games at the time (I owned an Atari 1040 ST and an Amiga 500).

The AtariAge Atari ST forum is fairly active >> https://forums.atariage.com/forum/20-atari-st … lcon-computers/

If you're looking for recent homebrew Amiga/Atari ST games, Itch.io does have offerings:

Amiga: https://itch.io/games/newest/tag-amiga
Atari ST: https://itch.io/games/newest/tag-atari-st
