The Return Of WonderBoy/Girl – The Dragon Trap Remake

I’ve been joking a lot about the PS4 being the master of remakes lately and guess what, i actually meant it too albeit not in such a negative way as many would like to think it is. There’s been loads of good remakes and ports for the last couple of years and i welcome those like butter on bread, it is the bad ones and quick money grabs that i hate – oh and of course if...

Taito’s 1985 FMV Laserdisc Game TIME GAL Out Now On Amiga CD32

Ever heard about Laserdisc arcade games? , well one of the most known one has to be Dragon’s Lair or maybe Mad Dog Mccree. Many of these Laserdisc arcade machines had an Amiga in them together with an genlock and a Laserdisc player. The gameplay mostly consisted of a Full Motion Movie and a simplistic overlay like a crosshair or some quick time events arrows which indicated which way to move...

A Look At: ENEMY 2: Missing In Action Collectors Edition

Enemy 2 was originally released as an download-only title back in 2013, but for some reason the developer decided to do a Collectors Edition re-release last year. The Collectors edition is a big box “retail” version of the original 2013 title, nothing extra here except for what collectors like, which is cardboard and plastic!. The big box version was actually mentioned several years...

Trivia Time: Sonic’s First Home Console/Computer Debut Was Actually On The Amiga

I have had this game since it came out back in 1991 and yes i am well aware of it having Sonic in it, but there was one thing that i did not know before now, and that was that this was Sonic The Hedgehog’s first appearance in an computer/console game.

It’s History!…. Again

I must admit that my love for magazines have faded over the years due to the fact that there ain’t anything out there anymore that i subscribe to,well except for Amiga Future which i have written about twice already.

A Xmas Wish.

Which of the following would be the most precious Christmas gift for you? Money? Clothes? A new car? As far as I am concerned, the most desidered resource would be, with absolutely no noubt … time! I’m out of time and, unlike Marty McFly, I do not own a DeLorean. I need time to read, I need time to play and I need time to experiment! I need time to get acquainted with my PlayStation VR...

ENEMY 2 was released as an AMIGA “downloadable only” title back in 2013, now 3 years later a big box floppy version is available.

The developer contacted me by email yesterday with the announcement of a boxed version being available and that i...

The Amiga Song – Eric Schwartz Returns To The Amiga With A Bang!

The Amiga community keeps on suprising us with all sorts of good news lately, and the latest one was today when i found out about a new Eric Schwartz music movie. It is a few days old now and most likely pretty known out there but i decided to hype it up a little anyways. The new animation is so good that i first thought that the song is an Original Amiga only song, as in written for this video.

It’s Showtime: Oslo Tekniske Museum – Game On 2.0

Ever gone to a museum where you just couldn’t get enough?. I visited Oslo Tekniske Museum to visit their Game On 2.0 exhibit and i must admit that my expectations was very low, i mean, museums tends to be boring in the long run and yes the worst part is that you end up walking in a line/que all the time. I was wrong… Sunday morning is perfect for a day at the museum… I have not...
