Has anyone used any Amiga emulators? Are there any that would come recommended and work well with current operating systems?

WinUAE has always been really good for gaming, and presumably general emulation of everything from the A500 to the A4000. It will even emulate hard drives and let you install to them.

You'll need to provide your own kickstart and workbench, but they can be found at the usual sources.

I loved my Amiga.

My favourite game was SuperFrog, luckily this has just come out on the PS3.

But yeah UAE is great.

Syndicate on the 1200 used to be badass

Still got my 500 in it's original box - might try firing it up today. Given that it must be around 25 years old now I think the chances of it working are slim! Laughing

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now Supercars 2 won't run under WinUAE. D'oh.

I have a 1200, 500 and 1500 that spent a few years up in the loft. None of them will read disks anymore and the picture quality is terrible. I can only imagine the extremes of temperature and damp upset them Sad

Yes! Downloaded, installed and working Very Happy

My life is now complete...

I have a 1200 but the hard drive keeps spinning up and clicking off, it could be the huge 200Mb capacity which is slowing it down.

Has anyone tried an IDE SD card? I have WinUAE but it would be good to fire up the old brute again.

Yep, Chaos Engine and Dune II kept me busy in the day.
