The sad twilight of physical release games on consoles
Like many retro computer fans out there, I was dismayed to learn this past week of Sony’s plan to stop producing physical box release games from 2028.

Amiga updates Mar-Jun 2026
As I have been not well and not updating the blog over the last two-three months, you might assume I didn't do a lot with my Amigas during that time.
Not so.
First off, I have picked up a number of new release Amiga games in 2026 for starters...I am a big believer in buying and supporting new release titles for the Amiga, Mega 65 and C64 especially.
Update - smell the flowers, enjoy some consoles, VHS tapes, new music and games
It's been just over two months since my last post. Thank you all for your patience while I am working through some health issues.
Quick update on me and this blog
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.
Enjoying Music Applications with Amiga 500 v1.3 System in 2026
Over the years I have spent considerable time upgrading all of my Amiga systems, with modern operating systems, hardware upgrades, and new software.
It is wonderful we have such an active Amiga community and scene that supports the ongoing release of new games, new hardware and new Amiga operating system upgrades in 2026.
That said, I also like having a simple Amiga 500 system, running Workbench 1.3 and having the software originally released in that era.
AmiVision streaming on my Amiga 4000T and Pistorm Amiga 500
If you read my blog regularly you may remember a post I did as part of my Amiga 4000T build in 2023 covering (amongst other things) the creation of Amiga format CDXL video files using a docker containerised application running on my Linux PC. These generated CDXL files could then be played on an AGA Amiga using AGABlaster.
Roguecraft DX on Amiga Mega65 and Gameboy Color
This is something I have never seen before - a new game in 2026 released simultaneously for Mega65, Gameboy Color and Amiga! Here is Roguecraft DX from Badger Punch Games!
AmiGUS sound card on my Amiga 3000
Welcome to 2026! It is good to be back.
More new Amiga games, Jaz Drive and trains
For my final blog post of 2025, I wanted to cover the new release Amiga games I got in the post this past week - Phantom Leap, Freak-Out, and Master of Minefields!
Settlers 2 and Blok for Amiga in 2025
I remember when the original Settlers was released on Amiga in 1993. I was living in Alice Springs at the time, and buying most new release Amiga titles was impossible there.
So I never got to play it.
Actually, in the last two years I finally tracked down a physical box release of the original Settlers for Amiga, but I haven't found the time to play with it yet!
