AmigaBlogs

 It is hard to believe anyone would be, but I find myself in 2025 a bit nostalgic for the days using Windows NT 4 workstation systems.

Yeah, I know. I should probably seek professional help.

Hi there, Welcome to a new post here on the Old School Game Blog! Today, on August 31st, it is once again time for a new AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup. Like last month, it is impressive and delighting to see how much is happening on the platform these days! Without further ado, here’s the AmigaOS 4 […]

 For those who regularly read my blog, you would know that back in 2023 I did a huge Amiga 4000T rebuild, adding all the cool stuff I always wanted to have on it. Cyberstorm 060, ZZ9000 RTG, Ethernet, AmigaOS 3.2, AGABlaster, SCSI Scanner, MIDI, loads of software, and so much more.

You can read the two parts of the blog series here and here.

 Aah, the Amiga 600. So many projects, so much pain.

I promised myself after buying this Amiga 600 that I wouldn't do any more upgrades to it after the last set of upgrades back in 2023. 

Well, err. umm. I changed my mind.

Hi everyone, Today I have some great news for all of you who are enjoy playing games on your Amiga! The Settlers II Gold Edition is scheduled for an Amiga release on October 18th 2025. With an official license from Ubisoft Entertainment, the game will be available natively for the Amiga. Not as a quick […]

Ah, the Evercade. A system I thought I would never buy - so why did I get one?

As posted on the Amiga/40th website.

Greetings, Welcome to a new post here on the Old School Game Blog! Today, it is time for another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, where we will be looking into what has been happening in the community during July. Even though it is summer time in the Northern hemisphere, there has been a […]

It has certainly been fun re-acquainting myself with the AmigaOne A1222 and catching up on what I have missed in 2025.

It is to my great shame that I have only done one blog post about Amiga related things so far in 2025 and we are already half way through the year! 

In my defence I have had a lot to deal with this year, and recently a backlog of other non-Amiga posts I wrote ages ago to get out too.

I have certainly done plenty of Classic Amiga related things throughout 2025 so far (when time permitted), so let's take a look at what I have been up to!

 It has certainly been a while since I played around with my AmigaOne A1222 system, so this weekend was the time to put things right!

I was hoping for 560KB RAM...? ;-)

 Back in my uni days, I moved away from my family who lived in Alice Springs. I moved to Adelaide by myself in 1994 to study and get my IT degree. 

I had an old second hand 386 PC my father organised for me to use. It was not the Amiga 2000 we had in Alice - which I wanted to keep.

With only money from a work experience job I did over the summer in Alice Springs before moving to Adelaide, money was very tight.

I missed my Amiga computer but there was no way to afford one, starting from over AUD$1200 at the time just for the A1200 system with no peripherals. 

 This year I have been catching up on some new release systems I didn't know about until recently!

Today I wanted to take a look at the Playdate, a very interesting portable handheld system from a company called Panic. It has a greyscale screen, and a unique crank that can be used to control the system.

It doesn't boot. What am I doing wrong? ;-)
