What a top class exclusive IRN release to wake up to, as Earok has contacted me for possibly his last great Amiga CD32 unofficial compilation.

This is, in his words, the largest themed collection the site has ever produced, 40 fighting games across numerous different styles.

Shadow Warrior - MS-DOS FPS making its way on to the Amiga

Another great heads up by Solo Kazuki is the MS-DOS first person shooter ' Shadow Warrior ', which is being ported over to the Amiga by Modern Vintage Gamer. Originally developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive back in 1997, Shadow Warrior had an improved engine from the one used in Duke Nukem 3D and featured 3D voxels instead of 2D sprites, usable inventory items, and violent head slicing katanas, Uzi's and many more to make this a bloody fine game! - The sequel is good too.

The Internet Archive adds over 10,365 Amiga titles to its ever growing list!

Way back in 2014 we mentioned some of the best websites to play classic retro systems online. Systems such as the CPC, NES, MSX and loads more were completely playable directly through your browser. One such site called "The Archive" had a massive game list from the 1970's through to the 1990's, all emulated in JSMAME containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles. Well they've just added another system to the library as they've now added 10,365 Amiga titles, all runnable in some form in your browser! Do note however because of copyright issues? Only 1,351 games are actually available and some are just demos!

UPDATE : 

After a beta-testing period, the emulated Amiga programs at the Archive have been taken down for further development.

In 1989 the Mitchell Corporation released the top of its class Arcade game ' Pang ', which was later ported over to a multitude of systems by Ocean including the C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum Amiga, MS-DOS and Atari ST. In this up to two player game you had to destroy bouncing balloons terrorizing global landscapes, but had to be really careful as most of them when shot split off into smaller but even more balloons! Now thanks to our friends GamesNostalgia they have packaged the game up with FS-UAE/WinUAE and made it playable in a single runnable file for PC and Mac.

Thanks to a member by the name of Python1 and eggman who then had the hard drive in their possession, the game was finally rescued from its corrupt state on the 9th of July.

Duangle 2015 Intro - Amiga cracktro parody on a Pico-8!

There's something to be said about cracktro's and scene demo's, there's nothing more enjoyable than seeing waves of text, moving objects and upbeat tunes from a bunch of users showing off their creative talent on an old retro system. One such cracktro for mention wasn't developed on the Amiga however, but is actually a parody of one and was created on the Pico-8, as paniq has said for the " Duangle 2015 Intro " : This is kind of a parody of old amiga cracktros from a parallel universe, where duangle is a demoscene group, and so are all the people in the greetings!

AGONY - Amiga classic by Psygnosis gets an unofficial Remake made in UE4

In 1992, Psygnosis with development by Art & Magic, released the gorgeous owl flying shoot em up of AGONY, for the Amiga system. It was a very impressive game for its time using features such as scales of colors done with raster lines, halfbrite graphics mode for the between-level pictures, three layers of parallax scrolling using dual-playfield mode, in-game palette swapping, and continuous flashing of the background palette to simulate additional colors (Wiki). It was such a good game that a creator by the name of Ozan Temelli has done an unofficial UE4 remake for the PC!

BLOCKY SKIES - Top quality homebrew appears on the Amiga!

Usually when a brand new homebrew game comes out, we are the first to know about it, but ' Blocky Skies ' developed by Enable Software Pty Ltd for the Amiga, took us completely by surprise. A game that was announced via our Commodore Amiga Facebook group as a top down arcade puzzler, stars a rather unusual character that must follow multi directional lines to reach the finish line. Along the way he must collect coins, avoid enemies and try not to go off the path, because if he does, he will fall a very long way!
