What resources, tools (emulators, e.g.) should I know about? (self.amiga)

I absolutely loved my Amiga back in the day, and we had a few throughout my childhood home.

What are the things I need to know about to geek around today? I see there's multiple emulators (some free, some not - are they official?), and I assume there's places with old ROMs of the games and software I used to use, like Zool, SWIV, Cannon Fodder, Skidmarks, Speedball 2, Deluxe Paint, etc, etc.

Share your retro wisdom with me!

@SweetAIBelle @Deebster

Amiga, Inc etc are long gone
Clanto owns the OS and Kickstrart ROMs

I'd just by Amiga Forever Essentials from the Play store for a few dollars then use WinUAE or FS-UAE Though their Amiga Forever packages come with a lot of interesting extras
Can't for get AmigaLIve, used UAE, for online multiplayer

Unfortunately, I get "This app is not available for any of your devices", even for the old Pixel XL I pulled out of my abandoned tech drawer (I can't believe it still boots!).
