This is pretty interesting. I know it has been around for a bit but there is an interesting IP based emulation front-end called AmigaLive (http://www.amigalive.com/). This front end hooks into FS-UAE in a very easy to set up configuration and lets you play many classic and AGA games over the interwebz with other players. There is no need to hunt down ROMs and setup local files other than the GUI install. You might have to configure it for your own joystick setup but that is likely the only challenge to get it up and running.

A streamer started popping up in my feed the last few weeks who goes by "Hi7ch" on Twitch that is hosting play out of the UK weekly. Add him to your followed channels for some amusing multiplayer Amiga gameplay! https://www.twitch.tv/hi7ch. There may be other streamers worth following in the Amiga/CBM scene, but he's the only one I've found doing live game play with the audience!

I've seen Amiga Bill play some multiplayer online games with AmigaLive. IIRC one of his friends wrote it (can't remember the guy's name).

I see Hitch on Twitch quite a bit but more as a commenter as I watch his buddy Hayesmaker at least once a week. Hitch will often raid Hayes' stream when I'm watching. It's cool because it's usually during my lunch break so I can actually be engaged and chime in.

Hayes usually focuses on C64 stuff, but he'll drop over to Amiga, too. Hitch - I think - is more Amiga all the way. Good peeps with the UK perspective, which is nice to compare from time to time.
