In fact many Amiga games used a non-DOS disk format to perhaps squeeze a few extra bytes on, or provide copy protection, and if you pop one of these in to your Workbench environment all you’ll see is DF0:NDOS and no way to launch the game. Later in the Amiga’s life, games sometimes came with a hard drive installer when they were supplied with many disks (and in fact it was the purchase of Beneath a Steel Sky, on 15 floppies, that prompted me to purchase a 260MB drive for my A1200 the very next day to try and save myself from disk-swapping injury) but this is an exception rather than a rule.
If you’ve not heard of it before, WHDLoad is a fantastic piece of software which streamlines the loading of games from an Amiga equipped with a hard drive.
