Bomb Jack Beer Edition - An enhanced classic WIP for the Commodore Amiga

Ah good old Bomb Jack, a game which required you the player to jump and float about grabbing all the bombs on the screen while also avoiding some rather strange yet nasty enemies who would constantly get in your way just to stop you from saving historic places of interest!

Welcome to Bomb Jack Beer Edition; an enhanced WIP Bomb Jack for the Commodore Amiga!

Ziriax 100% (Ultimate Edition) - The only full Amiga working version that exists!

This game featured an action packed experience with five stages of shoot em up gameplay with each level containing an end of level boss.

Gotek Floppy Emulator - Say goodbye Floppy Drive, there's a new king in town!

Through all these years I've always been a purist when it comes to loading games on an Amiga. It just had to be via a floppy drive as that adds to the nostalgia from when I was a child.

Welcome to the Gotek Floppy Emulator; a hardware device that allows you to use USB memory sticks to load floppy files, on not just an Amiga, but an Atari, Amstrad and many others!
