Amiga 32

Doing the A3660 CPU board, the first open “Seminative” 060 solution. and why.

Lumberjack Reloaded for the Amiga came out a couple months ago now, the reason for this late article is that i wanted to try the game a bit more on various hardware here. There’s two versions available, 1 CD version (CD32/CDTV) and 1 Floppy version and the one i got is the CD version which works on both the CDTV and the CD32. Every version of Lumberjack Reloaded comes in a white DVD case and...
