I released v3.0.0 of the Uridium II WHDLoad installer, which now supports all versions of the game including the final P1.04/D1.03 (SPS 0276) release. gemini://s73.girv.in/glog/2025/20... s73.girv.in/glog/2025/20... #Amiga #RetroGaming #shmup

Does anyone know what is this chip? I’m tempted to decap it as even AI doesn’t seem to know a thing, go figure… @righto.com

Hi! We are working on an update for our #roguelike Roguecraft, with a requested feature, some smaller stuff, and bug fixes! The main feature in the update is highscores! Now you can compete against yourself. Update will drop "soon" on Itch. 😊 #amiga #retrogaming #gamedev

Hey you! Interested in a cool new isometric engine for the #amiga? You are? Well you're in luck! Lots of cool progress made on this by @nivrig.bsky.social : www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEBI... Can't wait to see the game(s) that come from this!

Spin me round.

Merry Christmas all! 🎄 🎁

Can you feel it?

New arrival 😍 A shiny #BlueSCSI from @museumjoe.bsky.social - took a while due to Canada Post strikes, but it's finally here!

Oooh, what's this now? www.youtube.com/watc...

Tonight I've been doing very important work - getting 89 of the 135 treasures in the #Amstrad CPC remake of Booty. I regret nothing. (Well, except falling off that platform.)

The slim, sleek LC series slid into family homes and hearts with a low-cost entry point into color computing. The last of the lovable wedge-Macs is the LC475. Today, we try to give my uncle's old LC475 a new lease on life! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbp... #VintageComputers #RetroComputers #LC475

Darn. Looks like I cannot use my sprite approach and keep to 50 fps 😭 The sprite *drawing* is fine, I can get six sprites without colour before the screen draws. If I could start at the bottom border, I could draw eight! But the opcode *update* takes more than a frame for more than four sprites 😱😂

Been trying out various versions of the classic #Wizball. The C64 version is of course King, but I rather like the Amiga one too. Given the rather poor Amstrad version I had as a kid, I was *not* expecting much from the #ZXSpectrum version, yet actually that's pretty flippin' playable as well!
