Just found a list of them here:

But I don't know if they would work on an American PC. Project X, Alien Breed, and even Superfrog (I LOVE that one!) are all available on PC.

Why shouldn't they work on an american PC? There is no region lockout on computers.

Alien Breed:Tower Assault is butchered. A lot.

Project X also, from what I remember, was butchered too.

Well that sucks!

As far as region lock-outs go, that's good news! But I know I've read about PAL monitors, and such.

Yes, there are PAL (and NTSC) monitors. But we're talking about PC ports, and PCs need VGA monitors. There are no regional differences when it comes to VGA.

In what ways were these games butchered? And, if they're on 3.5 floppy discs, would they even work on our Vaio PC, with Windows XP? Superfrog is CD-Rom format.

@benj, thanks for the monitor information!

Yeah, the ports aren't very good. Most of them weren't done by Team 17 themselves, but rather were outsourced to another company called East Point Software.

You could probably run them in DOSBox (I've run Arcade Pool this way), but at that point you might as well just be emulating the Amiga versions. You can download these (legally) from http://www.dream17.co.uk/ .

World Rally Fever was cool though. And it wasn't released on Amiga

Ok, thanks!

So, do you just own the CD32, or do own any other Amiga equipment? I don't supppose there's any place here in Denver that sells Amiga's. (Although there was a CD32 on Ebay, from Denver once!)
