    there is a way funky, there was definitely a way. what version it was im not sure. first guess would be the PC 3 floppy one though, as that's where i did most of the playing

    OMG!
    you've just given me the best idea ever
    how could i get Theme Hospital on my Netbook seeing as it has no disc drive?
    i have theme hospital on disc, so if i download it, would that still be piracy?

    If you've got it on CD, just copy the CD accross the lan?

    Don't see how its piracy, there aren't any copy-protection things to bypass.

    Thats how i did it!

    Shame the way it uses hte mouse means it wont work with a touch screen

    Lan? If yes, then I agree only a few days left of the discount period!

    The only RTS that I've played was on a console... (still not got around to crash testing C&C yet).

    If it was on a kb/m, I'd have had so much more difficulty with it :/ I still don't get how people can press about 15 keys at once, especially the further away ones

    Hell yes although I much preferred Flashback to AW. Another one I'd add would be the original Populous ... oh how strategic gaming has moved on since then

    Still have very fond memories of my Amiga days, but it all cost so much back then. I'd hate to think how much I spent on modding my A1200; full size tower, Zorro II or III daughterboard (too long ago to remember now), 4MB Picasso IV, Octagon 2008 SCSI controller with 100MB SCSI HDD, PPC 603e, 192MB RAM (that was shed loads back then!), and so on. Spent thousands building up that beast but being able to play Warcraft on the Amiga via ShapeShifter's MAC emulation - smooth as silk too - was a joy to behold.

    Aminet and Fred Fish collections ... THOSE were the days
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    I fired up an Amiga emulator not so long ago to play chaos engine (much harder than I remember), the music is still awesome.
