Most Amiga owners understand more than you seem to give them credit for. Most Amiga titles and all system ROMs are also copyrighted. However, just like the Arch scene, most can also be found for free by a simple search. Also, like the Arch scene, some Amiga titles (and all system ROMs) are still sold, and in such cases, the more responsible users will buy them instead of distributing them online, and will remove them from sites like the Zone when they're found to be on sale somewhere. Arch isn't particularly special here.

'the more responsible users' don't appear to be the norm among your fellow Amiga fanatics ...
Now, if you did not like my remark : sit on it and spin.

@Zarchos: If you have decided to spam any thread where an opportunity arises to denigrate other members, then you won't be here for much longer and all your contentious posts will be removed.

You can sit, stand up or lie down for this one; just stop trolling!

You won't be seeing Zarchos around here anymore; he was permanently banned shorty after his post above

...but he was also banned due to numerous stuff in other threads plus threats towards EAB / the moderation team via PM.

Zarchos was a troublemaker and into bashing everything "Amiga"; not to mention members here, at every given opportunity.

Are we allowed to make requests? I would really love to play Provocator (Archimedes) again, but this thing seems to be rarer than hens teeth. I have it on my ebay watch list, and it hasn't once appeared in almost 10 years. Does anyone have a rip of it?

Could someone reupload Ballarena? I want an ADF version of that game to load in Arculator because I can't convert the current disk image I have and it won't fully work on my RasPI for some reason.
Screen goes weird when I try to play it.

Hi guys.

Sorry for reviving this thread but I wanted to know if anyone of you have the following preserved as well:

The full version of wavelength by Tom cooper
A game I heard of called dropship
Another called arcturus, possibly two other of which I know next to nothing called quark and Quazer.

If anyone here’s interested I had bought in the past:

A cd of starfighter 3000 other worlds release (I think it also contains sunburst and elite)
A CD of shmup anthology from 4th dimension containing nevryon and techno dream

[bcass]

Does anyone have an adf or apd for Ballarena? Someone posted earlier in this thread that they had an unprotected version that they uploaded to the Zone, but it's long gone.

[dreadnought]

So, is there some repo or collection which has stuff not present in TOSEC (Aldebaran, etc...)?

[bcass]

For anyone who still cares, here is a decent archive of a lot of Archimedes games:

http://arcarc.nl/archive/Games/

Many of the disk protection methods have been disabled on a lot of the games here.

I am on the lookout for disc images of the following games:

Arcturus
Quark
Technodream

I would love to get hold of these three games, they are the only titles I am missing in my collection. In exchange I can offer you any images you may be missing or can even trade for some original Archimedes disks I have (all boxed with instructions):

Ballarena (only works with RISC OS 2)
Zelanites (only works with RISC OS 2)
High Risc Racing
Saloon Cars Deluxe
E-Type 2
Stunt Racer 2000
Wavelength
Sally & Wally (disk + cover + instructions, no box)
