This weekend I was busy reconstructing my computer room desk area after pulling it apart for the Adelaide Amiga meeting on Monday. With my X1000 now returned, and the addition of the Icaros setup on the Core i7 PC, CDTV and a Sam460CR, I needed to find a way to fit them into a small space.

So, it appears that AROS has taken the lead when it come to web browser technologies. A developer named deadwood announced at the beginning of September 2015 that he’d completed over a year’s worth of work to get the Origyn web browser updated with a very new version of webkit (from May 2015). This currently puts it at over a year ahead of MorphOS and AmigaOS4.1.

Today is my 40th birthday and I got the best present of all - my AmigaOne X1000 back and running! Oh, and I assembled it at the Adelaide Amiga meeting which was held last night :-)

Today I wanted to take a look at a recent build I did this week of Icaros Desktop 2.0.3 on my Core i7 PC. This allowed me to try out the new Odyssey 1.25 Beta build too, which for NG Amiga systems is currently only available on AROS.

CONCEPTS for different games that never quite made it past the Harddrive.

This post shows some concepts for games for different platforms, that never made it past concept stage (some for good reason). 

For a long time I have always enjoyed playing Boulderdash / Clone games and in particular Emerald Mines on the Amiga.

The screenshots vary from the initial Amiga design (16/32/256 colours) to a future Amiga/PC version.

The AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition SDK is now available for download from Hyperion’s web site.

This week I decided to catch up on some of many AmigaOS3.x software that has been released in 2015 but I haven't tried out yet! I used AmigaOS3.9 on my Amiga 4000T to try them out.

Hi there,

Dan Wood (kookytech.net) has published a brand new interview with Trevor Dickinson of A-EON on his YouTube-channel. I’ve embedded it in this post, so that you can have a look. :) Enjoy!

I received my Commodore 64 this week! I am keen to try out SD2IEC and Chameleon 64 on it! This is not strictly Commodore Amiga related, but it is Commodore related so it is close! Please forgive me - my regular Amiga posts will be restored after this one I promise!

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

If you loved playing Chaos Engine back in the days, you’ll probably enjoy the upcoming game Tower 57. Please have a look at the trailer below, and I’m sure you’ll know what I mean. :)

Today I am taking a look at the Indivision AGA MK2 A1200/A4000T scan doubler, and how to tweak the initial terrible output for TFT screens on my Amiga 4000T.

A great Kickstarter game "Tower 57", needs more funds to be able to support our AmigaOS platform.

Tower 57 is a shooter, which plays in a dystopian art deco - cyberpunk world. Humans live in huge megatowers, surrounded by radioactive wastelands. Choose your mercenary, get in Tower57 and stop them from invading your hometower.
