Yep - certainly do...
http://www.back2roots.org/ has LEGAL stuff for the Amiga to download (including old commercial games that they have gained permission to distribute). http://www.factor5.com has a couple of old Amiga games to download for free (and you can download disk images of the Turrican games IF you own the originals too) I believe the little green desktop - at http://www.atari.st/ - also has legal downloads - though you'll have to double check that one. And the excellent http://www.lemon64.com has plenty of stuff for the C64 (and you've got to love those t shirts!) |

Yes - though C64 emulators and Atari ST emulators tend to be easier to set up the WinUAE... For PC stuff you can try:
http://www.the-underdogs.org/ But they have a mix of so called abandonware (illegal) and games which they allegedly do have permission to distribute so as directhex says you have to check which are which before you download. |

http://retrospec.sgn.net/ might be worth a shout too. It contains freeware remakes of plenty of classic games.
