I’ve been a regular user of VisualC64, a very good C64 emulator created by Dirk Hoffmann for macOS for quite some time. One of the main qualities of the emulator is the user interface, very user-friendly and polished. Since 2019, Hoffmann has been working on a new emulator for the Amiga 500, 1200, and 2000. vAmiga promises the same user-friendly…

The realm of home conversions is a strange beast, especially when differing software houses tackle the same game. Soldier of Light is the perfect example. Similarities run through both the Amiga and C64 ports but the amount of original content that makes it in, how that’s interpreted and iterated on makes for some subtle but important differences on how each…
