.lzx files aren't the proper amiga game files. look for .adf...or PM me and i can possibly sort you out

lzx files are compressed archives [another common one on the amiga is .lha].

If you're unsure what i mean, think of a zip file [or a .rar or .7z file - Winrar can unpack lzx files i believe just to let you know :D]

It will probably unpack a .adf disk image [or disk images] which you should then "insert" into WinUAE - in the "virtual floppy drives" ;)

Please remember that legally, you need to own the game [unless it is become classed as abandonware or has been "allowed" to be downloaded from the publishers/creators] and with the kickstart rom, you need to own the approriate amiga that has the rom that you have.

I havent the time to explain more right now, but google any phrases i've used will probably help you understand what i mean :)

Good luck
Nath.
