I remember playing games on my Amiga like:

- Kick Off
- The Secret of Monkey Island
- Lemmings
- Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge
- Skweek

You can play around with UAE which is an Amiga emulator for Unix-based systems or the Winj port WinUEA that you can find on http://www.winuae.net/

I have to admit... Lotus was one of the best car games available. It was so amazing back then, wasn't it?
