RUFF 'N' TUMBLE Amiga 500 or not

[Apidya500]

Does anybody know if Ruff 'n' Tumble was originally made and compatible with the A500, or is it an 600, 1200 game. I've found second samurai and ruff n tumble in an auction on eBay copies of course, with screenshots, for <snip> with an original a500 boxed game plus ten blank floppy disks, thought I might buy it, considering there all tested, just wondered if ruff was compatible, I know Samurai is? Unless there is an original on here I know ruff n tumble is a rare find and I'm desperate to play it, last one went for <snip> ! As long as the write protection is on is it safe to play games from other machines, I'm just concerned of a virus transferred over, which would compromise my machine...Just wondered? Is it safe? Although I'm aware getting the original would be a safe option, but I'm sick of waiting!

If the disk was always write protected, viruses would not be able to write themselves to the disk. Original games will usually be unable to boot if they get a virus since most games use custom boot loaders which would get overwritten. So if it boots, then it is likely to be virus-free, except for those originals that always had viruses in them originating from the company who made the game.
If you keep all your disks write protected, then viruses is not really an issue.
