Something's... different. I just can't put my finger on it. ;-)

Amiga is a state of mind. Or, if it isn't, lftkryo, of "The Commodorion" fame, has just accidentally created something very Amiga.

Admittedly, this isn't strictly about Amiga computing. Linus Åkesson, aka "lft", or "lftkryo", as he is known on YouTube, creates a lot of interesting stuff using retro tech. Among other skills (e.g. music), he's also an accomplished assembler coder, mostly using the Commodore 64's 6502 CPU, but also several other old or odd nerd machines. 

An interesting article about high quality film processing on the Amiga can be found in German magazine "Kickstart", issue 1/1993. 

"Kickstart" was a printed magazine by Maxon, the same company that created Cinema4D, ArtEffect, and many other great and well known things Amiga. The magazine focused on serious Amiga usage: hardware, software development, graphics, video production, office applications, etc.

Hi, Welcome to the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup covering May 2025! Thanks for visiting my blog, and hope you’ll enjoy the read. At the time of writing it is now June 1st and a new month lies ahead of us. Who knows what it will bring to the world of the Amiga? Will we see […]

Disclaimer: While I purchased these myself at full price, Gisler did pay for shipping. This is my own opinion.

Still browsing through 2023 game developments, some of which are still in the works, or have been released only recently: arcade classic remake, text adventure, platformers, a puzzler, and a frogger clone.

Something went wrong. Again. ;-)

It looks like a new, affordable PowerPC mainboard for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS (and Linux) is in development, nearing public release.

The beginning of project "Mirari" dates back to around May 2024. The first tangible news appeared a couple of weeks ago, at the end of April 2025, when "Mirari" specifications were announced on the "Hardware" channel of the Amigans Discord server, which got mentioned on long-running Amiga news website amiga-news.de.

Simone "RETREAM" Bevilacqua, who has released a nice round of great games, has just announced his latest creation.

"Gemdalus", very much like all other RETREAM games, looks stylish and polished, and has a nice soundtrack. The gameplay can be described as a blend of Pac-Man and Snake, with hints of Bomb-Jack and some remote Tetris-clone thrown it. In other words, it's a fast paced, easily accessible arcade style game, with an element of strategy. 

The Amiga version of Caveman Ninja came sort of late for an Amiga game (1993), was it worth the wait? How is the 2022 remake from Mr.Nutz Studios compared...

How was the original Arcade game?

There has been a running attempt by several people to harness the power of the latest versions of QEMU, along wit the work by balaton to bring several Amiga boards into this software to run OS4, and now pair them with the magic of GPU passthrough so that the emulated system could see a real, supported GPU and take advantage of software like CANDI and Warp3DNova.

There is a very interesting file transfer tool in development. It’s called Wormhole. You can see it in action –> here <–:
It’s looking good so far:

Wow, that's a very dirty Amiga 2500.

Decades of dust and insects' body fluids (and probably some bodies, too) have settled on this Amiga 2500 case. If you want clean such a thing, make sure to not apply much rubbing and cleaning fluid to the label. It's basically paper with only a very thin layer of color coating, that comes off quite easily.
