Hi All.
I haven't had the chance to update my blog this month as I have been in and out of hospital. Sorry about this.
I have lots of blog entries in progress I want to finish, like the C64 ultimate system, Intellivision sprint console I got this year just for starters, and more I want to write besides.
In case you've missed it: A new graphics card for the PCMCIA slot is soon to be released.
The original information seems to date back to the Amiga 40 event in Germany, and was amplified by Amiga Bill when he put it on his YouTube channel in Oct. 2025, but some updates have been coming in over the past few weeks.
Writing a demo is a lot of fun, because there are basically no limitations. You just use what you have, and there's no fixed goal. You can make it as short or as long as you like, and when something doesn't work, you either change it, or just drop it.
While all along the way, of course, you run into a lot of issues. A proper demo generates graphics and sound, and has some sort of timing. That's a little less work than a game, which additionally needs user interaction (input) and "rules of engagement", but it's still quite a lot to handle.
Chances are you want to change your Amiga emulator's configuration quite often, for example for developing and testing purposes. A script that runs the emulator can help you to do so without effort.
There are thousands of ways to somehow simplify Amiga emulator usage. If you're a GUI & mouse user some of the work has already been done, but for the CLI user there might be some annoying typing involved.
Well, I know what I think, but honestly, just give it a proper go if you're into these type of games, ok?
Me getting Cardiaxx back in the day is as much as story as it was an amazing game for me.
The post Cardiaxx By Eclipse (UK) Design – A Classic Or Just Pants? appeared first on The AmigaGuru Gamer Blog.
Walkman, arcade, Live Aid: Pop band "Men Without Hats" of "Safety Dance" fame released an ode to the `80s a couple of months ago, that features an Amiga 500.
Ok, admittedly, the Amiga really plays only a minor role here. But it's always fun to see one out there in the wild, and in this particular context, it's evidence how much of a cultural icon an Amiga computer is. Who would've thought that 40 years after release it shows up in a YouTube video that got 1.5 million views in its first nine months?
Introduction Hi, and welcome to the March edition of the first AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! I’m a few days late this time, but with good reason. It is Easter, and we have a new puppy in the house! His name is Trygve and is soon 5 weeks old. He is a mix of poodle and […]
