Fish disks were an incredible contribution to the Amiga community. The impact of a dedicated and contentious curator cannot be understated.

I think a lot of platforms today could be transformed if they had someone doing a similar contribution to Fred Fish.

I wouldn't be capable of such an effort, I think few people are, and I'm not sure if it can be done in any monetized way. The motivation has to be purely for the quality of the job.

Appears to be Public Domain games, sort of thing you'd get on magazine disks

A magazine disk was the first time a game containing Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was thrown into a game as an enemy character in a platformer game (Adventures Of Quik & Silva) without any regard for copyright law. This happened before the actual Genesis/Mega Drive game released.

(and no, that game is not on this site)
