Lumberjack Platform - Tree chopping Amiga game is now a charming platformer!

Some time back we mentioned Megastyle & Protovision's C64 homebrew game of ' Lumberjack ', which put you in the mighty boots of a Lumberjack, chopping down trees as fast as he can, without being bashed by the big branches above. It was a highly addictive game on the C64 that was later ported over to the Amiga as a fantastic enhanced version thanks to Cobe and Lemming880. So why are we mentioning this awesome game again? Well as of today you can play Lumberjack Platform; a new Amiga platformer based around that very enjoyable title, with design by Lemming880, graphics by Koyot1222, support by Cobe and music by Tommy/Android.

PoNG4 - Homebrew Pong for the Amiga

In the 1970's Bushnell and another guy called Alcorn released a Pong prototype at a local bar named Andy Capp's Tavern, yet it wasn't until 1975 and through a long history that Pong actually appeared in our homes, and on my very own Atari 2600. Thankfully others see Pong as a truely great game for its time and still loved to this day, as fast forward to the here and now and Cobe and jojo073 have released a Pong style game called ' 'PoNG4'; a 4 player Pong that's more than just a clone!

Cobe 002 Burnout Ultimate - Amiga game ported to the CD32 but does require Fast RAM!

Earok recently gave me the shout out, to let me know that Cobe and Lemming has done another Amiga to Amiga CD32 conversion from a game called ' Burnout Ultimate ', which was first released in 1996 by Vulcan Software. If you've never heard of this game before, that's because it was a game from late in the Amiga's run (part of Vulcan's "MiniSeries" label ) and is similar to a shareware game called Knock Out 2. The game pits you against a number of race drivers in a futuristic setting against each other, as a Battle Royale to knock each vehicle off the main Arena.

Some time back we mentioned Megastyle & Protovision's C64 homebrew game of ' Lumberjack ', which put you in the mighty boots of a Lumberjack chopping down trees as fast as he can, without being bashed by the big branches above. It was a highly addictive game on the C64 that was later announced as a work in progress Amiga port as an almost 1:1 conversion thanks to Cobe and Lemming880. But now the news of the day is, this game is not only officially finished, but it's available to pre-order as a rather sweet looking box!

Lumberjack Reloaded WIP - An enhanced version of an already ported C64 to Amiga game

As we said before in our previous article last year via the CSDb database, the Megastyle, Protovision & Atlantis group released the C64 homebrew game of ' Lumberjack ', which put you in the mighty boots of a Lumberjack chopping down trees as fast as he can, without being bashed by the big branches above.

But now thanks to a great heads up by Solo Kazuki, an enhanced version is being developed titled as "Lumberjack Reloaded".

Last year via the CSDb database, the Megastyle, Protovision & Atlantis group released the C64 homebrew game of ' Lumberjack ', which put you in the mighty boots of a Lumberjack chopping down a tree as fast as he can, without being bashed by the big branches above.

Boxx Trilogy CD32/SX32 - Lemming880's Boxx bonanza on the Amiga CD32

As an Amiga owner and a fan of homebrew releases I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable Lemming880's platformer ' Boxx 2 ' and ' Boxx 3 ' was on the Amiga system, especially with added bright and bold colourful detail. Both of these games were developed using backbone and required you the player to collect as many coins as possible, avoid deadly traps, kill bad bosses and finally reach the exit to complete the level. But today's news is a Boxx bonanza, as Cobe, Earok and of course the all important Lemming880, have released the Boxx Trilogy for the CD32/SX32.

But this time not only has the port gone through a number of testing phases, but it is now available as what should be the final version, which includes a rather special addition.

Press Play On Pad - The Demoscene collection for the Amiga CD32

After every Christmas some people make New Years resolutions, and mine is to get an Amiga CD32 because there have been so many releases for the system such as this one by Cobe ' Press Play on Pad : The Demoscene Collection ' that now is the right time to get one. In actual fact with all the games we've been getting this new addition to the library makes the package pretty much complete, especially as it features 32 wicked demoscene productions on a single disc, almost all AGA titles!

Wonder Dog - Sega Mega-CD and Amiga port enhanced for the Amiga CD32

A very special release to begin the week and this time it's from Earok and team, is an enhanced Amiga CD32 game that I think you might enjoy. This is none other than ' Wonder Dog ', which originally appeared on the Sega Mega-CD in 1992 by Core Design and was then ported over to the Amiga. But unlike the original Amiga version which star'd a dog who must rescue his home planet from invading forces, this one has been enhanced with far better pallets so it's more in line with the Sega version and not the original Amiga one.
