Battle Squadron 2 - A rather awesome nod to a brilliant Commodore Amiga shooter!

Ask anyone that has played Battle Squadron on the Amiga, and they would tell you that not only was it one of the best shooters on the system, but it made great use of the Amiga's capabilities with power-ups, graphics and sound... As one person puts it "For 1989, this was something special". Well fast forward to today and as a surprising heads up by a good friend of ours, we've been told that Bitwise Brains has made available a nod to this awesome classic, called Battle Squadron 2!

Amiga Game Remakes for Android by Tomáš Konvička


To be honest apart from the odd Android game here and there, we tend not to feature them. Most are in our eyes are rather poor and just a way to cash in on microtransactions and other such paid for in game nasties. However thanks to a find by s2325, he's come across a video on Youtube which shows some of the better games that have appeared for Android based devices. This is in fact the 'Amiga Game Remakes for Android' upload by Tomáš Konvička, which has games such as Lemmings, Another World and Battle Squadron. It's just a shame that the video is only 11mins long, as I'm sure there are other great Amiga games ported over, well that's if the Amiga/Android emulator uae4all doesn't take your fancy!
