Random game picker

Sorry, I haven't got one, that's my point. Does anyone have a system for choosing a game to play when you have so many and can't make your mind up? What would be fun is if there was a 'play random game' button in FS-UAE. It would be best if it downloaded games you don't already have on your computer, but then that might be poking the copyright hornet's nest.

Good idea! why not on a real Amiga with WHDload, too ?! :-)

Thanks. Until then I've come up with a manual solution...

I threw together a quick database of all the Amiga games and made it available here (I had a spare five minutes). It's called 'Hall of Light', just because.

As there are 6618 entries in it, go to this random number generator and enter the number range as 1-6618, and press generate.

Now take that number and use it to replace the xxx's in the following address: http://hol.abime.net/xxx

Ta da, random game selection! Let me know if anyone finds any hidden gems.

Amiga Lore has a random A-Z game generator.

Also, if you visit the main game page it picks a random game ("Have You Played?").

Ah, so it's already been done, cool.
