On Amiga there are the OS 3.9 Icon Editor which is very good.
Recently also the Icon Editor in OS 3.2 has been updated.

On shareware there is Icon Deluxe which has been uploaded in the zone some months ago.

It depends, some games run from the Binary, but others from a script, so the icon has to be set according to what it should run.

Also there are games that require paramenters in Tooltypes, in which case you have to add them.

on aminet i found many games icons and in truth i'm not able to create icons. So i'd like use those.
The problems is that i need games icons for stock AmigaOS 1.3, 2.x, 3.0/3.1. So no glowicons, no newicons, or powericons.
maybe i fount that icons inside original games, but i hope to find them in some collection already done to use.

The old icons for AmigaOS 1.3, 2.x, 3.0/3.1, you can create them with IconEdit included on OS3.1, you can get them either by drawing or attaching "supported" images

The Amiga iff you used probably had a lot of colors.
You must use ILBM/Iff images produced by DeluxPaint, you can also save the images in brush, see screenshot !
