Hi guys,

Hi everyone,

Back in May 2011 I wrote for the first time about the Viva Amiga documentary. Years have passed, but now the film is nearing completion. Below you’ll find a preview and a speech by the author, Zach Weddington. Hope you’ll enjoy it. :)

The official AmigaOS Documentation Wiki has been online for more than a couple of years now and has had many changes since its humble beginning.

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.

This week we saw the release of the first upgrade of Directory Opus in over 14 years. Directory Opus 5.9 is now released for AmigaOS4 on os4depot.net, worked on by kas1e and various other team members over the past few years.

This week I was glad to receive my Commodore CDTV in the post. I have never owned a CDTV so I was keen to get one - when the opportunity came I wasn't going to miss it!

Today I want to take a look at the YouTubeCentre plugin for the Odyssey 1.23r3 web browser on the AmigaOne X1000. Also taking a quick look at LiveForIt Mplayer and Mplayer GUI.

Today I am installing a wireless network card and setting up internet access on the Amiga 600 as part of my upgrade project.

Today, as my final bit of upgrade work for the past weekend, I am installing the MAS Player Evolution on the Amiga 600.

It is amazing to reflect that it has been 20 years since Commodore (and Amiga with it) went bankrupt, in 1994.

I wanted to take a moment today to reflect on the fact that despite this sad development, and some of the developments and many false starts and promises that followed since - that made some people lose faith, we still have a vibrant and active Amiga community today.

For that I am eternally grateful.
