It would be interesting to compare this index against later Aminet CDs to identify any HD installs that were uploaded later but ultimately removed. 1999 is definitely getting into the WHDLoad/JST era so there may not be many (any?) unique, one-off installers after this date.

Yeah some interesting ones there, I guess the Aminet CDs are on the eab FTP?

my favourites were the ones that came with cracked games like a Turrican 3 crack that included a installer.

Not sure what you mean there... but all installs you listed are still on aminet in game/patch ... From the info I got only four were removed during the years, but looots were added...

I've heard what Matt said before that a load of patches were removed, just looked at his list picked first game I saw Brat and doesn't look like it's on Aminet, but it was only a quick look.

True, did not look closely enough

I haven't looked closely are most of the installs JST? the CD is on the FTP.

A lot of them are JST and early WHDLoad, but there are still a whole bunch of unique ones.
