Nobody ever talks about how Major Stryker seems largely inspired by Sidewinder from the #Amiga. (Think I’d rather play Major Stryker though. It’s adorable.) #dosgaming #shmups

AmigaOS: Explorando las Datatypes https://amigatronics.wordpress.com/2023/09/09/amigaos-explorando-las-datatypes/ #amiga El AmigaOS ofrece características únicas y vanguardistas que merecen ser redescubiertas. Hoy nos centraremos en una de esas características fascinantes como son las Datatypes.

¿Qué son las Datatypes?

Las Datatypes, o tipos de datos, son una característica distintiva de AmigaOS que permite abrir archivos de diferentes formatos sin necesidad de tener un software e...

If you have ever worked with Deluxe Paint or heard about it, be sure to check out PyDPainter, a great and free resurrection of the legendary DPaint pixel editor.

I managed to install Workbench 3.1, various tools, WHDLoad and a few games. Well, this is kinda cool...

I love reading old Sierra Newsletters as by the time I got hold of my first Quest games in early 1993, KQ IV, PQ III, and SQ IV for #Amiga, the company and their franchises were already well-established and they were moving toward CD-ROM games.

And so, coming across early promo hype for KQ IV and its revolutionary sound (at least for DOS PC!) and technical leap from AGI to SCI is pretty cool stuff!

Spending some time tonight with one of my favourite Sierra Online adventure games that flies under the radar beneath all the Kings, Space, and Police Quests.

That game is Manhunter: New York.

It's a shame because firstly, just look at that box artwork! It's one of my absolute favourite game covers. It captures the forbidding apocalyptic feel perfectly and feels like it could be an 80s action flick involving ninjas and post-WWIII crime-ridden cities, though the game itself is anything but completely serious and the premise sounds like schlocky sci-fi.

It's 2004 and 2 years earlier, alien eyeballs from space invaded Earth and subjugated mankind. Penned up in ruined cities and forced to wear LOOM-esque cowls and forbidden to speak to one another, humans eke out a dreary life. Some of them are picked out by the orbs to become Manhunters, agents and crime investigators for the Orb Alliance.

All right, I installed OS 4.1 FE including the updates!

Now what? Should I buy A-EON's Enhancer Software collection?

Hi everybody! 👋

I just moved here from @aperezdc@mastodon.social looking for a cozier instance, which I should have done earlier... So let's make this an #introduction post.

People call me Adrian, and I'm living in Finland, which is quite different from the South of Europe where I've been born. I've been into #FreeSoftware since 1998, my first Linux install was SuSE 5.3 (Boxed! With dead tree manuals!) and life hasn't been the same since. These days I mostly work on @WPEWebKit and a bit on @WebKitGTK for @igalia, and maintain their Buildroot packaging.

On the #RetroComputing front, I used to have a Sony HB-75P #MSX but it ended up being discarded (long story) and after two decades without one I finally decided to get a Panasonic FS-A1WSX MSX2+ which has given me plenty of warm fuzzy feelings. I also enjoy doing small pixel art thingies like my doge avatar, mostly with #Aseprite, but it takes me a lot of time and I am not very good at it. Some day I hope to have an #Amiga 1200 as well.

Reminder: the original Amiga computer, like the one seen here, is from 1985. Let that sink in a little.

@confusedbunny Oh really? I was wondering why they didn't use XAD 🙂

Thank you for the info, I'll try to figure out what went wrong when I reconnect the Sam at home.

On my last attempt today, AmiUpdate had forgotten all update servers, and I couldn't figure out how to restore them.

On the return flight, I read a few forum threads, and it seems I should check the contents of the SiteList file.

Someone brought a recent issue of the Amiga Future magazine.

Browsing inside, I found this detailed review of AmigaOS 3.2.2! :amiga:

@phf I almost couldn't believe it when I found out: AmigaOS 3.2 was released in 2021 with Kickstart ROMs for all classic Amiga models.

It was followed by two minor updates, and last month a "hot fix" was released with version 3.2.2.1.

I have published some documents and source code from Albion, the Amiga CRPG I worked on in the 90s, on GitHub. Come look at the 68K code I wrote 30 years ago. #Commodore #Amiga #CRPG #gamehistory #68K https://github.com/jhorneman/ambermoon
