Just something we've been working on with the folks from TheCompany.pl, preconfigured Amiga games stored in a single EXE file ready to use right after start.

The request queue is currently on hold, but there will be more and more game releases soon and every request filled.
There's also a forum-place you can drop a hi or two.

Great stuff. I've always wondered how the EXE versions of games are created. Could you shed some light on it? It is a great thing, having a single packaged up exe file you can just run to load a game or demo.

No secret really, it's simply WinUAE with a specific config for the specific game, without these most useless options and the memory debugger turned off so that your average Joe couldn't look what's inside.

Nice idea! There are some really addictive classic Amiga titles that people may not experience unless they're offered in this simple click and play way.

I agree. So many people email me asking how they can play game X on their PC easily... normally they are put off when they find out how complicated (to a notice) setting up an Amiga emulator might be to them. A single click single file package solution is a great solution.
And actually, for non-commercial or software classicamiga has permission to host, I think it would be great to include exe downloads so people can download and play them "out of the box".

Ha, that would be cool if you'd added links to EXE versions of games into the database

Nice idea to have a verifier. I personally like the retro bbs look, but what about a pc cracking group style window with some funky music, a way to select the file to verify and a verification button. With an output window.

Glad to see you continue updating the Company site with Amiga games that otherwise might be forgotten.
As I am not really into current day releases it is good to know I can still play some of the classics of yesterday with just the ease of one click.
