Hey We have an old user. yes F -18 was very cool for its time.. even the f -16 was fun in the game... the one mission I had problems with was the cruise missle one. I liked the one that we had to intercept the f 16.. it was ahead of its time. was my first amiga game got in in a pkg with 2 other games earl weaver basball and Ferrarie and a epx joystick. all 3d games but the ferrarie one you could only drive with the mouse. no analoge joys ticks

Oh yeah California games was a good one to from epx.

There is an Amiga 1200 Emulator out there, but for copyright reasons you have to have access you your own genuine Amiga ROM's....

The Amiga is quite well protected!

The "Genesis" Emulator will run many Console Games...>>>

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/genesis/fusion.html

Search for "Emulators"...

Paul.... Cool

I've already got the Amiga 1200, its various Hardware, and all the Games, so I don't need the Emulator.

Did you search for the "Amiga Emulator" Site, and read the detailed instruction on installing, and using the Emulator?

My Lad and I, (who both own 500 and 1200 Amigas), read the Amiga Emulator Instructions, and found it far too complicated to comply technically with the Copyright restrictions, regarding the genuine Amiga Roms!

...so we didn't bother with it....we just use our own "real" Amigas...
