Could Steam please take an interest in old Amiga games

[8-The-General-8]

Been perusing gog and the focus is mainly prepackaged dos emulator games, I am pretty sure?

I miss some Amiga titles such as :

Original Pirates!
Overlord
The Battle of Britain
Lords of the Rising Sun
Blood Money

Various games for sure.

Found a few publishers on Steam for a few classic Amiga titles but none of the great ones...

Emulators are tricky as at times... I would pay 5 bucks at least, hands down, for a *working* classic Amiga game for convenience of play.


I hope Steam can consider endeavouring into this.

Any advice on getting above titles to enjoy again I would appreciate greatly.

Thanks!

Does anyone in the world have Battle of Britain, Amiga 500 version, working on their current day PC... In the world?

I have a working boxed copy for my 1200, it was the Kixx XL big box that I think worked on all Amigas 500 onwards.

Wow! You are the gamer archivist of the century! I envy you.... hehe

Haha noooooo I'm sure there's plenty out there, just finding them and other Amiga fans can be difficult.
I'm actually getting my Amiga and C64 shipped to a new address in the next month so will have to play around with it for a bit.

Pack them well... : ) I have lost entire drives due to customs mishandling them during international flights. : (

You have it the wrong way round.

Steam is a STORE, not a publisher. As such they don't go out looking for games. Devs and publishers bring them HERE.

Still have my old Amiga 500+ which I renovated the flopy drive on over the last few weeks. Still works fine, as do so many of all my platforms.

The one that continues to maaze me the most is my first computer from the late 1970s - the NASCOM-1. It was a kit and badly put together. It's basically held together with spit and glue, yet it still toddles along.

It's obviously had it's caps changed on the power supply and in a few other places, so I do care for it to keep it happy. One day I will find a decent case for it and treat it with a bit more care.
