That script doesn't seem to do anything when I've tried to run it.

Me too. I was the proud owner of an Atari 520 STFM from 1987 until 1991.
But soon after buying one I immediately wished I could have afforded an Amiga due to the screenshots on the back of every ST game being from the Amiga versions of the same games and they always looked better!

I can assure you it works fine! All you need to do is unpack some WHDLoad games into the games directory, then run the script.
On a default install, it finds Bloodwych, which I've already included.
If you've unpacked your games elsewhere (eg not SYS:Games), you have to tell ClassicWB where to look as described on the webpage instructions. Open up the "s/user-startup" file (can be done under settings->startup->user) and change the A-Games: assign to where you're unpacking your games (eg DH1:Games)
Everything will then get updated on next reboot - the menus, the scripts etc, as they all use the A-Games: assign which you can set as outlined above.

Oh, you'll be very busy then. Perhaps get the wedding photographer to do a few snaps on the side!
