Tech Demo for a new Amiga Platform game
Just saw this one on YouTube. Good to see that classic Amiga game development continues over 20 years after Commodore shut down:
Keep up the good work developers!

FlowerPot: A quick and easy way to set up Amiga OS4.1FE on WinUAE by the makers of Amikit
The makers of Amikit, an amazing emulated pre-built environment, has released FlowerPot, a set of tools to automate setting up OS4.1FE in the latest and greatest version of WinUAE, without some of the limitations we ran into in 2015 and 2016 (like only being able to use PicassoIV emulation and not higher-RAM UAE graphics, pci bridgeboard support, etc).
It’s not free, but it’s not expensive either. I’m currently testing it and will have a review later.
Cool, retro wallpaper
Just an aside, someone made this retro wallpaper with Amigans in mind. Click for larger version:
Amiga 4000 Teardown and Restoration
Here’s a good video about restoring an old Amiga 4000 with a VideoToaster.
Demo of Hollwood on Vampire 500
Here’s a demo of the Hollywood development program running on the Amiga 500 with the Vampire 500 accelerator. This was from AmiWest 2016. Looks good!
Replacement RAM for GVP accelerators
So, anyone who has ever had an Amiga Accelerator from GVP (Great Valley Products), knows they are good hardware. But you’ve also probably noticed that the accelerators only take GVP-designed RAM SIMMs. I don’t know if this was to satisfy some timing issues or electrical issues or if they just wanted to keep close control over the RAM for profit reasons.
Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 for Amiga OS4
So, I think I blogged about Stratagus a long time ago. It was an RTS engine that was ported to Amiga OS4 (and possibly 3.x as well). Using some addons, called Stargus, Amiga users could play Starcraft 1. It’s been around for a while but there is something called Wargus for Stratagus that makes Warcraft 2 available for Stratagus.
Setting up a cross compiler for the Amiga
Here’s a video for those interested in getting into development for the Amiga (and Amiga-related OSs like AROS and MorphOS). This involves setting up a cross compiler system to build the final output which will run on the Amiga. Very helpful:
