Wow this is really cool!

Epic to see that it has "No Man's Land" [0] and really really weird feeling to read the readme. No idea why it's listed as a "17 Bit" title though, perhaps they distributed it at some point but they certainly were not involved in creating it. Source: I wrote it. Fun times.

Edit: formatting.

Fish disks were an incredible contribution to the Amiga community. The impact of a dedicated and contentious curator cannot be understated.

I think a lot of platforms today could be transformed if they had someone doing a similar contribution to Fred Fish.

I wouldn't be capable of such an effort, I think few people are, and I'm not sure if it can be done in any monetized way. The motivation has to be purely for the quality of the job.

When I first got my Amiga I spent all day one weekend copying PD game disks at the local computer store, Think it was like 25 cents to copy one plus price of a floppy. Good times.

From webpage I read: " Search or browse games, applications, demos, graphics, music and tools from the golden age of 32-bit home computing."

But Amiga has a 16 bit CPU... or not?

Always fun to go and look up the very first software I sold in this archive.
