New Computer Rooms in 2019

Hi all, and welcome to my first blog post for 2019. I hope you all had a great Xmas and New Year.

As mentioned in my last blog post in late December 2018, I have been very busy over Xmas and New Year moving house!

This of course meant packing up all my computers including my beloved Amiga systems (and everything else of course!) and setting up from scratch in a new home.

A Look At Tiger Claw Collector’s Edition

A Game (And A World) That Never Was

A long time ago, after many years away from computers of any kind, I went back to coding. At that time, exactly like today, I was deeply involved with consoles stuff, so I really appreciated when Sony put for sale its PS2 Linux Kit. It was back in 2002, so I don’t know how many […]

A Look At XP8 – Lost In Space?

XP8 is yet another of those late Amiga games that didn’t get the attention it deserved and therefore I decided to spread some more XP8 love here on the blog. Weathermine Software had a short lifespan on the Amiga sadly, their first game was Bubble gun and their final game was XP8, both of them was […]

Book Review: Commodore The Inside Story

Preserving the memory of the past has always been a sensitive topic for all human activities, and even though for some reasons this was not true for the computer and gaming industry, things seem to have now changed for good. Amiga, in particular, is somewhat living a kind of golden age again, at least as […]
