- «as»«c7»During the last years, we have witnessed an explosion when it comes to
- «c6»emulating the Amiga «c7»computer on an ordinary PC. There are several
- different kinds of programs that copes with running Amiga programs very
- well on the Microsoft box, but that of course does not interest us. What
- interests us, is that it has made «c6»tons of old games and demos «c7»available on
- the internet.«»

- At the moment, there are lot's of sites dedicated to games for the Amiga
- emulators. The «c6»"Back To The Roots" «c7»site maintained by some members of
- Haujobb, is a great example of how wide the softwarebase is. On this site
- you can find plenty of «c6»old classics along with some newer titles. «c7»Many
- people access the archives on daily bases, downloading stuff for their
- emulator. There are plenty of other sites available, and to find them, you
- can simply search for «c6»"Amiga emulators" «c7»at "Altavista" or a similar
- search-engine.«»

- The games and programs are usually stored in «c6»"ADF" «c7»format, quite similar
- to «c6»"DMS", «c7»stored in «c6»"ZIP" «c7»archives. To use "ADF" on the Amiga is no
- problem, as there exists programs for unpacking, packing and handling it.
- You simply port the software over to the Amiga, unpack the "ADF" file like
- you unpack a DMS file, and you are «c6»up and going.«»

- «c7»I'm quite excited about this emulator thing on the PC, but I can assume
- that some of you out there are a bit negative on this matter, as it could
- harm the Amiga community. In my opinion, it is a part of «c6»keeping the Amiga
- alive. «c7»Giving the old software new life on other platforms also gives the
- machine and the idea «c6»a rebirth. «c7»In the future, I hope to see more old
- classic Amiga software being available for us, and that as many people as
- possible will take «c6»advantage «c7»of it!«»
