There are many excellent top down racing games on the Amiga. Some of my favourites are Nitro, Super Cars, All Terrain Racing and Skidmarks, to name a few. Rally Cross is a new top down racer for the Amiga by Resistance, and was recently updated to version 1.0. The game ended up 5th place at Flash Party 2023.Download the game…
It’s been over a year since Robot Jet Action was released on the Commodore 64. Retronavigator just announced they are working on Robot Jet Action for the Amiga. Not much is known just yet, but there is a new teaser video and a small amount of info shared. -Super early development stage-Final game title still to be decided-Release date not…
Wackopac is a Pacman clone with a bit of a twist. Collecting Power Pills takes you to another screen where you can have a blast at the ghosts, shoot em up style. Very unusual but lot’s of fun.

There’s no doubt that Motorhead are legendary, with their influence felt across a broad spectrum of pop culture. The band’s fast, overdriven bass lines were only overtaken by their now sadly departed frontman’s even faster living, like being kicked out of Hawkwind for getting busted with the wrong drugs or getting lip service from an enthusiastic female fan on stage….
As Ronald Reagan’s tenure as American president was coming to an end in 1988, The Cold War was cooling, Pinochet was defeated and The Naked Gun unleashed its comic capers on cinemas. In terms of the Amiga, games were still yet to push the system as far as we know it could go but we still received a good amount…

Future Bike Simulator’s promise as “The Ultimate For Speed Freaks”, along with the art work showing a…
Synergistic Software’s 1990 SHMUP, NY Warriors, is set in 2005, or 2014 dependent on whether you read the US or European instruction manual. Terrorists known as the Church of the Third Coming, or the catchy C3C for short, have planted a nuclear device in the now ill-fated World Trade Centre.

Cricket is a prime example, although England’s recent fortunes at the stumps are a mix of great success or catastrophic failure.
