Amiga Forever Value Edition

The Value Edition of Amiga Forever is our answer to PC users and Amiga enthusiasts who are looking for a quick, easy and inexpensive way to play downloadable games that are compatible with Workbench 1.3 and 3.X (i.e. more than 95% of Amiga games). Everything, from the emulation engines (including WinUAE) to the operating system, and additional Amiga programs, comes preconfigured in a compact archive which is ready to run immediately after the download.

If you are not already familiar with Amiga Forever, the Value Edition is a complete, fast and inexpensive way to have an Amiga running inside your PC. If you have never used an Amiga before, you can now enjoy Amiga games, demos and productivity applications on your PC. Or surprise a friend or co-worker, switching on your PC monitor, and showing a full-screen Amiga, indistinguishable from the original.

If you are a past Amiga owner we are sure that you will love seeing again an Amiga booting, the Workbench 1.3 look and feel, original demos like the bouncing Boing ball, dozens of award-winning software packages and other add-ons. It's all included with the Value Edition. More...

Value vs. Plus and Premium Editions

The Value Edition of Amiga Forever includes the same Workbench 1.3 and 3.X emulation, ROM and operating system content as the Plus Edition, but it does not include the other system versions, nor items of historical interest. This is sufficient to run the majority of Amiga games, but it does not include or support more sophisticated and modern Amiga applications, including some games.

The Value Edition, while including an uncompromising productivity and compatibility content, does not include the following items from the Plus Edition:

• KX Light boot option
• Gallery
• ROM and operating system files of historical interest (other than 1.3 and 3.X)
• Amiga Explorer
• Personal Paint additional documentation and artwork

Amiga Forever also comes in a physical package, the Premium Edition, which includes both the Plus Edition CD, and two video DVDs.

Windows vs. Other Platforms

To keep installation as simple as possible, the Value Edition comes in a dedicated Windows version, which is easier to install and run on Windows systems.

After installation, the ROM and operating system files, including the preinstalled Amiga applications, can be used by other operating systems as well (e.g. by GNU/Linux installed on the same PC).

If you do not have access to a Windows system we recommend that you purchase the Plus Edition or the Premium Edition.

Installation

To install the Windows version just run the downloaded setup file. If you would like to check the integrity of the file you can right-click it, select Properties, and check the digital signature.

Backup of Online Files

By our own customer support statistics, there is a 50% or higher probability that you may lose either the license key or the download file within three years from your order. This is often due to a hard disk problem.

After purchasing Amiga Forever Value Edition, we therefore strongly recommend to:

• Print the email containing the license key (serial number)
• Burn the downloaded file and registration information to a CD, or otherwise back this data up

Upgrades

If you purchase the Value Edition and later decide that you wish to upgrade to the Plus Edition or the Premium Edition of Amiga Forever, you can purchase an upgrade version at a special price.
