I got Trantor working on my Amiga 500 back in the 80's, ran really slowly, but it did run.

turrican 3,

I used to own an ST, so I'm not really biased like some Amigans, but I wonder, why do you want to play crappy ST games?

I can think of only a few games on ST that are better than Amiga, but they were just ports.

umm, Captain Blood had titlescreen music by Jean Michel Jarre which I must say is surreal, I don't think amiga had it, that is criminal.

the game is probably worth playing, jsut to hear that music.

I can't speak from experience, and I don't know about the music, but I think I read in AF (or ST/AF) that the Amiga version of Captain Blood had been fairly substantially enhanced from the previous ST version. Could be wrong, but I think that's right.

Anyone dumb enough to run ST Colonial Conquest on Amiga instead of Amiga Colonial Conquest on Amiga deserves a crash.

Thank you very much. Although later I found it out, tucked in a dark corner of my hard disk. I will give EPT and Sundog a try, in PC and 68K Amiga emulators.

ant512, thank you, but that *.dum skips in DeliPlayer, I cannot see Captain Blood in any list (game, composer), and cannot access archive, something wrong with my brain tonight.

You must unpack all archive file because one music is in two separate files (.dum & .ins) DeliPlayer can play it.

I don't know how many ST games exist, but Gamebase ST has 3125 preconfigured games so far.
