What are .image files and how can I use them in WB?

I've come across this demo and was wondering how to run it? It consists of .image files with accompanying icons, and was wondering what app is needed to run them in Workbench 3.1?

I have renamed the extension to .adf and they act like floppy disks, but I really want to run them in WB. In fact, how can I run ANY ADF file in WB?

These files are probably same as adf, remember that for Amiga extension is not required in most cases so everyone can use own extensions.
There is possibility to mount ADFs with ADF.device. Some programs which handle ADF could also mount them, e.g. GoADF.

They're just ADF's. Look at the file size: 901120 bytes.

Unlikely to be able to run this from WB though, as demos on disk are often NDOS.

In the ADF image header I read DOS. So it might be possible to run it from WB.
