I wrote to EA a year or 2 ago asking the very same question, and got a
polite letter back from them saying that they had no plans at this time
to do an Amiga port.  Apparently that has changed.  A friend of mine who
works at a software retailer, evidently called EA and asked them about
it.  I seems that they're planning to release an Amiga port and a C64
port this year.  We'll see.

I'd like to think that my letter had something to do with it, but it's
probably more the fact that there are 1 million Amigas now that did it.

As far as I know, Infocom is planning to do an Amiga port.  That effort
might be slowed now that Mediagenic has "relocated" the Infocom staff.
