WinUAE for emulating Amiga is an absolute beast. It includes emulation for so many different hardware and software configurations, and emulation of so many different peripherals that were released throughout the Amiga's lifetime.
It's really stunning how many features it has
For older folks like me, there's also Atari 2600, Commodore 64, and Amiga emulators that allow us to replay the games of our youth.
You'll firstly need an Amiga Emulator (if you don't already have one). You can get one here.
Then you need to download the three roms (one for each disk). Disk one can be found here, along with links to the other two.
Hope that helps!
Get the WinUAE Amiga emulator, a Kickstart 2.0 rom, and the Cannon Fodder ADF disk images... boom done, and no need to sell your soul.

I'm assuming you're using Windows. The only emulator worth using IMO is WinUAE. Like all computer emulators, it is a lot more complex than a console emulator. You have to understand a bit about the different models of the Amiga computer and the way they worked, and here is a good video that shows you how to use WinUAE.
You will need to find the Kickstart roms and the game disk image (.adf files) yourself, and Google is great for that. You might need to spend some time adjusting the audio, video, and other settings in WinUAE to get the game playing right, but once you have everything set, you can save those settings as a configuration file for a specific game.
My favourite thing to get the workbench voice to say was just:
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Amazing.
Also you don't need the hardware, you can just emulate with WinUAE :) We had an A500, A600 and then A1200 back in the day so I had fun recently downloading all the old games that I never used to be able to afford or find as a kid.
Actually I think AmigaForever might be simpler to set up and already comes with kickstarter ROMs (though they're not that hard to find, I could upload a zip if you wanted) if you're just looking for no fuss
A1200's are about £200 on average, and A500 level about 75? I'd go with the A1200, and CF to 2.5 inch IDE adaptors for it are cheap
Try emulating it, see if you think it's worth it http://www.winuae.net/
the old stuff is getting creaky, and WinUAE only gets better.
It's even good for rescuing old Amigas. I liked my 600, but left it in the UK. Although it needs re-capped anyways. And anything you find will need it as well.
WinUAE does a great job of emulating an Amiga 3000.. it'll even run AMIX if you wanted to.
I thought P-UAE was dead, there was some discussion on the E-UAE mailing list from the developer of P-UAE about a year ago, then all went silent. Nice to see that it's alive :). Related:
WinUAE is extremely awesome. It can emulate bloody everything Amiga related, ever released. Check it out, it runs pretty great in WINE as well: http://www.winuae.net/ . The developer (Toni Wilen, Finnish) is very active in the forums: http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5
According to this thread on Vogons you need a newer build of DOSBox (try Dosbox-X or Dosbox staging mentioned below) and you need to mount the BIN/CUE image and then mount it the right way.
You might also try to run the Amiga version via WinUAE, but it is no less pain in the ass than setting up DOSBox.
I'm glad! I had no idea there even were indie amiga games. If you still want to play it, you'll want the Winuae emulator, and search around google for an "amiga kickstart rom" to act as the OS.
You can try to download WinUAE (an Amiga emulator) here. Then maybe try to download the game here. The WinUAE software is a little complicated if you aren't very computer savvy, but you should be able to search around on the Internet for some instructions if you run into any problems. Or you could PM me. I have played a few different games on WinUAE. Have fun!
