    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.

    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?

      It's a bit complicated and it depends on what exactly you're measuring. The 68000 CPU has 32-bit registers internally, the address bus is 24-bit, and the data bus is 16.

      I think most Amiga’s had 32-bit registers, but a 16-bit bus. (So to everything around the CPU they were 16-bit even though internally they could do 32-bit computations)

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

      Appears to be Public Domain games, sort of thing you'd get on magazine disks

        A magazine disk was the first time a game containing Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was thrown into a game as an enemy character in a platformer game (Adventures Of Quik & Silva) without any regard for copyright law. This happened before the actual Genesis/Mega Drive game released.

        (and no, that game is not on this site)

    Does anyone know of a source of the pre-release eagle demo?
