Answer -
Hi John,

I need more information on what you're asking; what do you mean by "change a game over"? Also, what Amiga model do you have, and what game(s) are you playing?

lost manual as have moved several times and only got machine out after 7 yrs

Answer
Hi John,

Many Amiga games (especially ones from the mid-late eighties and early nineties) were never designed to let the user quit or exit the game and return to Workbench. You will have to reboot your Amiga to do that. For most games, a reboot will work for this, and you shouldn't have to switch off your Amiga...but there are a few hacked games and programs that disable the Ctrl-LAmiga-RAmiga key sequence, forcing you to physically switch off your Amiga to clear the memory.

I hope this helps!

Greg
