    Thanks. It's a bit late but I'll try and download it. I must admit the version I'm using is one a friend installed for me about 15 years ago.

    Are there any standout Amiga titles that weren't out for PC or were emulated adequately on the consoles? I can't think of a single one atm

    A lot of the time the Amiga version was better then the pc version! Took a while for the pc to get going ;)

    Some of the Amiga games I play I can play on the PC. Lotus Turbo Challange II I can't get for the PC. Only version I which isn't as good. Populous I doesn't have the sound and doesn't let you skip the levels you've already done in Conquest mode on the version I've got. Prehistroik I downloaded yesterday for the PC but it's not neraly the same with out the background sound.
    If anyone know how to get these for the PC but the way they were on the Amiga, that would be fine.
    I also have a Spectrum Emulator but that doesn't work unless your using 256 colours and most computers today don't got below 16 bit.

    i assume if you have an pc with a soundblaster card they would take use of it,an excellent spectrum emulator i use is zxspin,it works on my desktop color of 32bit,has fastloading option aswell for the cassette games...

    Do you know what the extension to the files is, I've got about 3,000 on my disk so I'd like to be able to use those games. I find when downloading games for an emulator that the availability is very limited.

    the extensions are tzx for disk and tap for tape files doubt the real games would work unless you have emulator that reads from the spectrum through soundcard?,anyways world of spectrum website has games for legal download,click on archive and go to games,some games are not available due to licenceing reasons but can be found through a quick google search

    What spectrum emulator are you using? Take a look at http://www.worldofspectrum.org/
    I'm proudly sporting the Lotus II intro music as my phone ring tone. It's always funny when it goes off on the dart as one person takes there face out of there book and gives a nod of approval ;)
