Amigaville - Issue 4 Out Now!
It's been many a year since you've been able to pick up an Amiga magazine off the shelf of your local newsagent.

Knightlore Ported to the Amiga
Posting over on the English Amiga Board a few days ago, user SyX announced that he'd stumbled upon a blog detailing the porting of Ultimate's Spectrum classic "Knightlore" over to the Amiga.
Hewson to Start Making Games Again

I'm hoping that in 2016 I'll be able to keep the blog updated on a more regular basis, but if that's not possible I'll post as and when I can. The blog is far from dead. It's just that at times it may go through a quiet spell or two.
New Game, "Jump, Block, Jump" Released
