Creating game assets is alot of fun.  Here is a speed painting showing how I created some of the destructive elements for part of the large enemies on screen.

I don’t know about you but Access Software certainly played a huge role in my teen’s thanks to their Beach Head games, Leaderboard Golf and Raid Over Moscow. Their games had a bit more of a rough approach than the usual stuff at the time and I guess this is what drew me towards them […]

I have been inactive for while since I lost my Aros partition.

it wasn’t all that long ago now since I brought up a discussion on Facebook about a game Duplication machine that I had seen back in the early 80s in my local game shop, I knew I had seen it and all (only once though) but I had no idea about the name or if […]

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Happy New Year Everyone :)

Promoting other great Amigans :)

Another round of looking at 2019's Amiga game development scene.

In case you've missed it (like I did): On Dec. 16th a lot of technical details about the upcoming AmigaOS 3.2 have been published.

The problem is corrosion…..

Corrosion appears to be happening either directly under or nearby the various sized (but typically 5″ long) plastic runners that line the bottom of the large PCB modules. These plastic runners protect the small surface mounted components on the bottom board from being scraped off when being inserted. Due to the proximity of the modules, with the install order being from BOTTOM to TOP, the front-panel connector edge of the module below it can scrape and accidentally yank off a small SMD part.

Pierre Le Chef Is Out To Lunch by Mindscape is one of those typical games that went under the radar for many, no not because it was a bad game and definitely because it wasn’t marketed either but for some odd reason a lot of people didn’t want Platformers at that time (especially on Amiga), […]
