Hi, you can skip the italic part if you can't be bothered to read it all.
I hope one of you hardcore Old Time Gamers can help me out. Many years ago I, like many of you I asume, owned a C64 which was later replaced by an Amiga 500 which again was replaced by a PC. I've been a PC guy since then but after so many times talking with friends about the old games, a friend of mine and I decided to buy a second hand Amiga. We ended up having an Amiga 500, an Amiga 600 and an Amiga 1200, unfortunately the 500 wont work so we had to use the 600. Along with the machines also came loads of disks, many of them containing some of my favorite old games, unfortunately the ones I was really looking forward to play didn't work.....some of them are Moonstone, Speedball 2, Alien Breed 2 and many others. I get the familiar "Guru Message", black screen with red text.
Now, all I know about the Amiga is how to pop in a disk in the floppy drive and wait for the loading to finish, though I have worked out by surfing the net that some games wont run on the 600 and 1200 because of the kickstart version. So I bought a kickstart 1.3 bootdisk for the 600 and it has helped for some of the games but MOONSTONE still wont run.
Now for my question. I've found 3 Moonstone ADF files on the web, is there any way of turning these into Amiga disks, preferbly by using a PC program?
I read in the help file for WinUAE that I can use the program TransDisk or ADF2DISK but I don't know anything about using the Amiga.
My second question is this: I remember playing a game called Kingdoms of England, a bit similar to Defender of The Crown but I can't find any info about the game or anywere to download it.....if it's freeware that is.
Thanks in advance
