If you're like me, you still have a soft spot in your heart for the Commodore 64 even after moving on to the fantastic Amiga platform. A new C64 documentary film is being produced, so please visit this webpage to see if you can help:

BTW, Jeff is also a big Amiga fan, so if this first film does well, it's likely we'll see an Amiga film shortly after.

Thanks for reading!

  Hello,

I post this because i saw on FB that Simon Vergauwen died from a heart attack at 45 years old.

I got the BS1 packs thanks to him, and was able to propose some of them cleaned.

This is way too yound to die

Rest in Peace Simon, and thank you for the BS1 legacy !

Apollo Team would like to share the first results from an internal project we started a few months ago.
This project is an experimental exercise to explore the possibilities and limitations of Apollo V4 Series.
We took upon ourselves the challenge to make a port of “Robin Hood - Legend of Sherwood” (RHLOS).

RHLOS is a great RPG Game from SpellBound released in 2002 and intended for Pentium PC’s (233Mhz/64Mb).

Current stage of the project is that we have succeeded in getting the Game somewhat up-and-running on V4.
The FPS is obviously not on the level that we would like it to be, but basic gameplay is already possible . . .

For Compiling we used the ApolloCrossDev setup for Linux which is another (beta) project from Apollo Team.
Graphics routines are changed from SDL based API’s to native Apollo Blit and Scroll routines, partly in ASM.
Sound routines are also rewritten and our now using Apollo Arne instead of the SDL routines.
There is still some work to be done on the mixer and effect routines, but we are confident to make that work also.

There is still a lot of work te be done to get RHLOS up to a level where it could be released in any form or shape.
But we share this first results with you with the intention to raise interests within the Amiga (development) community.
If you feel you have the skills and time to help us in this project, we are looking for you to join us !!! (please PM me on Discord @WillemDrijver).

A demo is also available.
Enjoy.

  Since I first saw the HTML5 canvas color cycling demo several years ago I've wanted to have it on Amiga.
Well, here it is. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi all,

As you might already know, Andy Johns and I had a while ago joined forces to bring his excellent Spectrum game Ooze: The Escape to Commodore 64. We are very excited to announce that we have now also ported it to Amiga!

Get it from: https://h4plo.itch.io/ooze



The C64 version was already vastly improved compared to the ZX Spectrum, and the Amiga version will be adding even more enhancements, such as:

• Improved graphics, sprites, animations and sound effects

• A much bigger map (almost double the size)

• Two more keys to collect

• New enemies and hazards

Press "S" during the game to switch between music and sound effects.

There was a lot of stuff we couldn't do on C64 due to the platform limitations which we were able to include in the Amiga port.



Help Ooze navigate through various corridors and laboratories, using its gravity-reversing powers to overcome obstacles and avoid the robotic guards in an attempt to escape from this dangerous subterranean complex.



Collect keys and insert them in the computer terminal to disable the force-field and gain access to further areas.

Can you escape?



Credits:

• Code: Ali Pouladi (Haplo) https://h4plo.itch.io/

• Concept and graphics: Andy Johns https://vwguy16.itch.io/

Note: Some older versions of WinUAE (such as 4.9.x) seem to emulate sprite-background collision detection incorrectly. If you experience any issues please upgrade your emulator.

This was a lot of hard work and a true labour of love. We hope you will enjoy playing Ooze: The Escape!
