WHDLoad version exists as many of us have already stated and I also tested it on earlier comment.WHDLoad installers are made with the principle of making the game compatible with later and faster Amiga models also. The only way I could make it crash was to run old incompatible software in it, which too was made compatible only later with by WHDLoad or some degrader software). Makes me wonder what was the setup and condition of your Amiga or what did you do with it, if you say it crashed more. Nowhere near in stability compared to normal condition Amiga which was long used by NASA just because it was so stable. By following IBM path and supporting cloning of Amigas and making it standard for other manufacturers they could have reached more users with cheaper prices and thus made a market field for games too.Windows 95 was very unstable (I used it in work). I used 50MHz 68060 Amiga with 3D card before buying first Windows 98 system and I moved to PC because of game support and not because of the lack of hardware power. He promised to send additional troops to help Thyn, which I guess means that I've technically won the game, since that was my primary mission. The monsters on Level 4 became too hard, so I left and went to Cyldane, where I reached the point I had reached at the end of the DOS version by visiting the Count. My characters got significant weapon and armor upgrades in less than an hour without much effort. I did leave once to sell excess equipment (it encumbers you and you eventually run out of room), but my gold started racking up so fast that I ultimately stopped bothering to collect all the miscellaneous weapons and armor after combat. Unlike in the DOS version, I never had to leave the mines torestock on food once I entered, since it didn't deplete very fast and Ikept finding more on slain foes. SinceI already had the maps of the east valley and the mines, my initialgameplay involved retracing my steps, collecting treasures, and fightingcombats. Time doesn't pass as fast (which may account for the plentiful rations), though this might have been an issue of my having DOSBox jacked up too high. The sound is also quite nice,with background audio like wind howling, crickets chirping, birdssquawking, and water dripping in the dungeons. I was pleased to hear some nice music when I loadedthe Amiga files, not so different in quality from what we might hear ina game created in the last few years. DOS versions usually underperform Amiga versions ingraphics and sound in any game, but this one takes it to an extreme, with no soundin the DOS version. I suppose that, to the extent thatit's worth playing this game at all, it was worth the effort to set upthe Amiga version. I tried downloading other versions and was confused to find that they, despite being ostensibly for the Amiga, didn't have any of the file extensions the emulator was looking for. Essentially, no matter what configuration options I tried, the emulator just presented me with the image of a disk, as if I hadn't just told it where to find the ADF files. Getting Legend of Faerghail to work in an Amiga emulator was an annoying experience, and I'm not sure whether to blame the emulator, the game files, or the overall platform.
