Here is Virus for the Amiga. https://david.gloveraoki.net/f/Virus.adf.gz

But it bears little resemblance to this game, so I wonder if you are thinking of something else.

PS. I self-hosted this file, but what's the go-to service for flinging arbitrary files across the internet these days?

for old school games and programs specifically I would upload them to archive.org - please do that :-)
It's already in multiple Amiga software archives, it's not particularly rare.

Could be this one, though it is for Windows.

It basically turn a folder tree into a Decent clone. Complete with using media files stored in said folders within the game.

The 3D graphics in that game are well beyond what most classic Amigas were capable of.
My apologies. I just figured that between the context of the discussion and the name of the game, he may have gotten the platform wrong.
No need to apologize! You could easily have been right.
Wow, thanks!

I agree the gameplay is different, but the idea of working through your filesystem is what made me think of it.

I have used http://ge.tt

But it is not new or hip anymore
