Where Time Stood Still - Release Date Any Time Now!
It's been a while since I updated the blog, and for that I must apologise. A house move, combined with being heavily involved in the organisation of a local beer festival has meant that my time at the computer has been limited.
Well, the move is complete and the beer festival has been and gone for another year, so this should mean I'll be able to devote more time to the blog once more.

880 Gamer Issue 3 Now Available
Issue 3 of the "completely random month" (their words, not mine!) downloadable Amiga magazine "880 Gamer" is now complete and ready for your reading pleasure.
Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places
If you're a fan of platform games then you may want to check out the recently released "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places", which was released towards the end of April.
Put together using game creation package "Backbone", the game spans 5 levels and features music from the Sounds Terrific MOD compilation, with author credits detailed in the game.
The tiles and sprites were created by English Amiga Board member amiman99, with the help of his friend. Tiles used were from a modified set originally created by fellow EAB member Cammy.
Tales of Gorluth - Demo Version and Pre-Order
Featuring over 5 hours of gameplay, 64 colours on screen at once and over 40 pieces of music, this Zelda-like RPG surely pushes the Backbone game creation system to its absolute limits.
The game, which has taken over a year to develop, is now in the closing stages of completion, and with that opportunities to download a demo and pre-order the full release have now arisen.
Visit www.talesofgorluth.de for more information, download links for English and German demo versions, and for pre-order details.

Mega Man Amiga - Video & WIP Download Link
UPDATE: When this was originally posted I mistakingly credited English Amiga Board member s2325 as being the developer behind this work in progress title. I have since been informed that this is not the case, and that the developer behind this is German Amiga user Reentier.
A huge hit on Nintendo's NES console back in the late 80s and early 90s, Capcom's Mega Man series of titles were extremely polished, fast-paced and absolutely rock hard.
