I grabbed this title from Cinemaware back when they had their legacy catalogue up for free download, so if I did get it from here it would be just to support Cinemaware, GOG.com, and to put up a show of demand for more Amiga games in the future. I'm not sure if it would be worth it though, I'll probably wait for a sale at least. But it's possible.

I understand that Cinemaware built a custom emulator around the Amiga game and according to the reviews this is not entirely without hiccups. From what I read, WinUAE would probably do a much better job. I understand that there are reasons to why it is like this, but since both WinUAE and an actual Amiga are perfectly valid options for me, I would like to satisfy my curiosity:

Is the game, as it is sold in here, so integrated with the bundled emulator that it cannot be separated from it and ran in an alternative Amiga environment for better results? Such a possibility would increase the value of the offering manyfold.

I have been able to extract the .adf files and got them to run in WinUAE, so it's not so tangled. ;)

Ah, good job. That's good to know. It would be sad such a great title would be hindered by bad emulation.

It works in fs-uae on Linux as well.
