Searching for interesting games, i found a homepage with a game called
Realms of Power. This is the description of this game from the homepage
http://www.silicon-wizards.com/

Realms of Power is a turn based strategy game. The game has been inspired by the games Civilization and Colonization.

The World environment is dependant on parameters set before the start of the game. You can play in anything from an ice age to a heat wave , with huge oceans or impassable mountain ranges.

16 different nations are ready to fight with or against you. You want to play the Germans, the French, the English, the Romans, the Zulus or even the Egypts? No problem. The different Units (planes, tanks, destroyers or war chariots) are waiting to be built and then sent against the foe. Or, you could make peace and send a diplomat.

To be able to build the different units and town buildings (like churches, industries, harbours or barracks), you need the labour of the constantly growing population to gather the different resources (like wood, stones, coal or oil). Of course, workers get hungry and need a good supply of food (which has to be harvested first). With allied nations you will be able to trade for resources that you need, be it food for your troops or building materials for your towns.

Trade will only last while there are still friendly nations. They will soon be enemies of your empire as the aim of the game is world domination!

If World domination is proving too difficult, you can always leave for a New World. Perhaps this next world will be yours.
or
World domination proving too easy? There is a Universe waiting for your guiding hand...

But there is a little problem.

Yes, thats right. This game needs an Amiga Computer.
Do anybody have an idea to use this game on PC? Legal

Mathias:confused:
 
It looks like freeware in Alpha, so I don't grasp why running it in an Amiga emulator would be illegal, other than if Amiga corp still existed. Does it?


EDIT: apparently yes: http://www.amiga.com/news/
Looks like they're trying to make some simple internet appliances-type devices.

Hard to get excited about an alpha stage product on its deathb-, er, on hold...

The only legal issue you have to worry about is if you got the software legally. The platform you
try to run it on is immaterial from that standpoint.

-there is no AI in this game
-no save and reload option
-many bugs
Could that be a game of Fraxis? :D

Let's see if there is a legal way to test the game.
Maybe someone has played the game and can say something about it, please.

Technically you should own the kickstart roms to run Amiga emulator.

But Iam guessing the underground Amiga community is rather small, and the hardware is getting hard to obtain. There shouldnt be any problem imo
 
Well, if you want to run emulator legally, you must posses legal copy of Amiga ROM (read only memory - with bits of operating system). IT is file from 500kb to 1mb depending from Amiga version. For me it is not issue, because I still own Amiga 1200, so I can use ROM from this computer on Emulator freely. But there was some Amiga companies who was selling Amiga Emulator with ROM included on license they got from Amiga Inc.

Edit: you also need Amiga OS3.1 files, they are on license too.

About this alpha game. I downloaded it and I will give a try on my copy of Amiga Emulator.
