Finally the latest AmigaOS 3.2 from Hyperion Entertainment has arrived in the post for me this week! I decided to try it out on my Amiga 1200 first!

While browsing Amigaworld.net today, I came across some news about a new Amiga magazine being made in France. It is called Boing and the first issue is now available for pre-order. Delivery is scheduled to the middle of July.

Recently I have been working on an upgrade and rebuild project on my Dad's last ever PC, an Alienware Aurora R7. Specifically, this Aurora R7:

Hyperion and the team of AmigaOS 3.2 developers show their dedication with an updated release of the Native Developer Kit.

The new NDK was released on June 30th 2021. According to the file description, it improves compatibility with different compiler environments. Also there seem to be "strategic" changes, simplifying future updates (see "ReadMe" picture below).

Pixel graphics, 3d rendered graphics, photo retouche, sound modules, animation - pretty much everything "creative" is accepted as long as at least the final result has been created on an Amiga computer.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with a lot of game developers over the years and the guys behind this new game CYBERSPHERE is no different really, GDG Entertainment is partly run by one of my best friends plus he is also one of the co-writers here on this very blog.  You might remember GDG […]

As always: good news on the Amiga gaming front, lots of stuff going on. A refreshing, very cool looking, almost-3D soccer game, an arcade driving game, a new clone of a very notorious modern classic, a point-and-click adventure, and the release of a new shoot-em-up.
