I cut my teeth (original child teeth) on Amiga. Well that and arcades and Atari.

Not sure if it was originally on Amiga, but Defender of the Crown was on of my favorites.

Also, David Mitchell is funny.

I'm still a newb. Is the fag pic a bad thing?

I also liked Jordan vs Bird and that Bruce Lee game. Friends dad played all the cool war strats when I didn't know better. I was like 7 for crissakes. :)

edit: Oh wait, you bolded the Amiga part. Yeah, I think it originally came on it now looking back.

You'll get used to it. :P Fag pic? You ain't from around these parts, are you?

I posted the humourous smiley because Defender of the Crown was possibly the iconic early Amiga game. However, like modern games it was released half finished and subsequent ports were improvements.

Yeah, I had to look up more about it after I posted. I didn't realize how well it was received or if it was originally Amiga. I just remember this awesome game when I was a kid... still have fond memories. Runner up is Wing Commander on the 386.

Hyperion Entertainment is very pleased to announce the imminent release of the long awaited adventure/strategy/RPG crossover game Gorky 17 originally by Metropolis Software House for AmigaOS! After changeful 12 years since its original announcement, the AmigaOS port of Gorky 17 became almost what was Duke Nukem Forever for the PC world. Yet, we made it in two years less ;)

In order to ensure the highest possible quality, Hyperion Entertainment commissioned Frank Menzel and Thomas Claus, who are well known for their original games for AmigaOS 4 under the Entwickler-X label, to stabilize, optimize, enhance and last not least to finalize the AmigaOS port of Gorky 17. The result of their work speaks for itself and shows their high level of professionalism, which allows us now to rightfully claim that the AmigaOS port of Gorky 17 represents the best version of Gorky 17 released on either platform ever!

Exclusive main features of the AmigaOS version:

  • High resolution support by free choice of screenmode
  • English, German, Spanish (text & speech) and French (text only)
  • Mouse wheel support
  • Highly optimized game engine and video player
Minimum requirements:

  • Amiga with 500MHz CPU or faster
  • 256MB of memory
  • Graphics card (Warp3D compatibility recommended!)
  • 700MB of free disk space
  • AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition
Production is already in progress, all registered dealers got informed about the now available pre-orders and the official start of sales in calendar week 43, 2015. Get in touch with your preferred dealer to place your personal pre-order!

But there is more to it! In cooporation with Alinea Computer Hyperion Entertainment will celebrate 30 years of AmigaOS and the release of Gorky 17 by making Gorky 17's pre-release debut at the Amiga 30 years event in Neuss, Germany on October 10, 2015 in form of a strictly limited amount of early bird units sold separately for 34,95 Euro SRP as well as part of a special fair-super-bundle consisting of
  • Gorky 17 for AmigaOS
  • Gorky 17 poster
  • "powered by AmigaOS" t-shirt
  • "30th anniversary" sticker
  • "AmigaOS" notepad
at a heavily discounted fair-price of 50,- Euro incl. VAT*) in contrary to the regular price of about 65,- Euro incl. VAT.


We all hope you enjoy this fantastic news as much as we do and will stop by at our booths in Neuss on October 10... cheers!

NovaCoder has really kicked it up a notch in the Amiga scene as another bit of news from our friend Solo Kazuki, is the 1.21 Nova release of both Spear of Destiny and Wolfenstein 3D as Amiga AGA editions. Spear of Destiny originally developed by id Software in 1992 is the prequel to the genre defining first person shooter of id Software's Wolfenstein 3D. In regard to these Amiga AGA ports, they are based on various SDL version's of Wolfenstein 3D and some bits from DOOM. - See more at: http://www.indieretronews.com/2015/...olfenstein-3d-amiga.html#sthash.q1qqGDLV.dpuf

Both versions require an AGA Amiga (PAL/NTSC), a fast 68030 processor, 8MB of FASTRAM the original game (must be the full retail version), 3.1 ROMS (3.0 ROMS may cause it to run slowly) Features : AmiWolf_AGA / AmiSpear_AGA 1) 256 color double buffered 320x200 graphics 2) Digital SFX mixer 3) MIDI music emulation (MUS) Make sure to follow the instructions on the site as this isn't a straight unpack and play game! - See more at: http://www.indieretronews.com/2015/...olfenstein-3d-amiga.html#sthash.q1qqGDLV.dpuf
