EAB GameDev Competition is launched!

We don't often feature Amiga competitions, purely focused on the Amstrad, C64 and ZX Spectrum. But that's all about to change as we've been contacted by DamienD that the EAB forums are running a competition for the Amiga called the EAB GameDev Competition. This competition is for game developers from around the world to create a game of their choosing, and is a 6 month development cycle from the competition starting point to end. See the rules below for further details - Good luck!

DamienD's WinUAE Collection - A MASSIVE Amiga haul of playable games using WinUAE Amiga emulator!

DamienD is no stranger to the Amiga community, as through 2017 he had released many Amiga CD to Hard Drive conversions that enabled us to play those classic games without the need for the CD. Games such as Code name Hell Squad, Wasted Dreams, and T-zer0 to name but a few. But this time he has excelled himself, as instead of doing a conversion he has released the DamienD's WinUAE Collection; a massive pack of games through 12 years or more of work, which enables YOU the gamer, to play over 11GB of games already set up through the latest edition of the Amiga emulator WinUAE.

Code name Hell Squad - Amiga CD to HD as a playable sci-fi action adventure!

No sooner had we mentioned DamienD's Amiga CD to Hard Drive conversion of the high quality isometric game 'Wasted Dreams', that another game was also converted over and that was the action adventure ' Code name Hell Squad ', which again was also developed by the same team Digital Dreams Entertainment and released in 2000. Shockingly enough some say this is one of the last ever games released commercially on the system and if it wasn't for these developers contacting the original dev's of this game, when it was known as Hellpigs by Classica Entertainment (link), it probably would've never seen the light of day!

Wasted Dreams - DamienD Amiga CD to HD conversion with an isometric action adventure

DamienD is up to his usual tricks again as once more he's looked towards a range of Amiga CD's, and converted the Amiga CD game ' Wasted Dreams ' to a bare-bones .HDF and .LHA file for easy play without the original CD. Now many of you probably haven't heard of this game, which isn't surprising considering it was released in 1999, but Wasted Dreams was developed by Digital Dreams Entertainment and is classed as a high quality isometric action game with adventure elements, but with a rather poor voiceover that does the voices for pretty much everything!

T-zer0 - Another DamienD Amiga CD to HD conversion and this one is a cool looking shoot em up!

After previously re-releasing The Big Red Adventure, Uropa 2 : The Ulterior Colony, Genetic Species and many others as fully playable Amiga games without the need for the original Amiga CD. DamienD has now moved on to T-zer0, which is a rather nice looking AGA Shoot em up, released in 1999 and published by PXL Computers for Amiga systems with a CD Rom drive.

The Big Red Adventure - Multi-platform Adventure game, gets a DamienD Amiga release

In 1995 Core Design released ' The Big Red Adventure ' as a sequel to a very fun and comedic Adventure game ' Nippon Safes Inc ', which was released on multiple platforms such as the PC, as well as a CD-ROM for the Amiga 1200 and A4000 in 1997 by Power Computing. This rather well known game, which takes place in Russia after Michael Gorbatsjov's Perestroika, has been unofficially re-released for the Amiga by DamienD but this time without the need for the CD.

Uropa 2 : The Ulterior Colony and Genetic Species - Even more DamienD Amiga CD to HD conversions!

The Amiga is getting a lot of attention lately, as after previously releasing Final Odyssey, The Strangers and Foundation as fully playable Amiga games without the need for the original Amiga CD. DamienD has moved on to Uropa 2 : The Ulterior Colony and Genetic Species, which as of today completes the "Vulcan Software MegaSeries Vol. 1-4" collection first released in the late 90's. Both of these are sci-fi based, whereas Uropa is an isometric adventure, Genetic Species is a first person shooter which has similarities to GLOOM.

Foundation - Amiga CD Settlers style game gets a DamienD special Amiga release [UPDATE]

Ever since 1993 I've always had a soft spot for that classic game ' The Settlers ', there's something about the game that makes it highly addictive, whether it's the managing your own village, mining for minerals or conquering the lands around you that pulls you in. So to say I was disappointed that Settlers 2 never came to the Amiga was an understatement, at least until ' Foundation ' came around that is. You see Foundation was supposed to be like Settlers 2 and was to give it a run for its money, the problem was Foundation was and still is an Amiga CD only game, at least until today anyway. Because as of today as per our request, DamienD has converted the Amiga CD version as a fully runnable file on a real Amiga without the need for a CD-Rom drive!

Final Odyssey and The Strangers - Amiga CD games converted for all Amiga owners

A special treat for Amiga owners, and yes it's rather late here in the UK, as DamienD via the EAB forums has made available two Amiga games ' Final Odyssey ' and ' The Strangers ', as easily launchable files on a real Amiga without the need for a CD Rom drive. After previously releasing the 'OnEscapee AGA' another World/Flashback style game which was fully patched for the Amiga from an Amiga CD release. He has decided to use his skills on two other Amiga CD only games, which can be downloaded as either .HDF or more especially .LHA files, that can be unpacked and played directly on a real Amiga, without as we said a real CD Rom drive.

Arctic Moves - Gun blasting platformer from the Atari ST gets an Amiga port!

It's once again back to writing and it's a bit of a special one for this evening, as our good friend DamienD has recently contacted us through the Amiga forums of a new-ish release that has appeared on the Amiga as a port from the Atari ST by meynaf. This is ' Arctic Moves ', the sequel to Dinamic's very addictive yet incredibly difficult action platformer Navy Moves which first appeared in 1989

Whales Voyage 2 - The sequel to a great Amiga game gets an English translation [UPDATE]

And here we go again with yet more Amiga news, especially if you like a mix of adventuring, crawling and space travel all blended up into a lovely sci-fi mix. As thanks to the original translators and of course DamienD we now have a fully translated English release of the German game Whale's Voyage 2 available for download as an updated HDF file for Amiga users! This is the sequel to the fantastic game Whale's Voyage 1 developed by neo Software Productions.

OnEscapee AGA - Another World/Flashback style game fully patched for Amiga [UPDATE]

If you've been following our gaming news lately, especially if you have ever owned an Amiga then you would've already come across the fantastic release of the SEGA CD-Amiga conversion of the Another World sequel known as ' Heart Of The Alien Redux Amiga V1.0, and the more recent release 'Another World - Lost Levels'. However there is another game out there that stands out in the Another World/Flashback style of gameplay and that is ' OnEscapee ' AGA by Sadeness Software, which this week been unofficially re-released by DamienD as a complete patched HDF file.

Candy Puzzle - CUBO CD32 Puzzle game makes an appearance on the Amiga CD32

Fresh off the press AmigaJay has announced the release of a rather rare Puzzle game, that is now playable on both original Amiga CD32's and via emulation. This game is called Candy Puzzle and is better known as a CUBO CD32 original, and was released by CD express in Milan way back in 1994. For those of you who don't know anything about the CUBO CD32, it was an arcade machine with CD32 internals hence this game not appearing on the home system, at least until now.

Center Court 2 - Unreleased Amiga game is found and finally released

A bit of a late one this and one not to be missed, as after being informed by DamienD, we have learnt of an old Amiga game called ' Center Court 2 ' that was originally unreleased, is now available to the public. This Amiga game was actually authored by SecondService in the late 90's and had remained in an unfinished state on a harddrive that had become defective. Thanks to a member by the name of Python1 and eggman who then had the hard drive in their possession, the game was finally rescued from its corrupt state on the 9th of July.

Karateka - Meynaf wows the Amiga community with a new ST/Amiga port!

Earok who we know from the Amiga CD32 releases has just informed us of a new Atari ST to Amiga port by meynaf called 'Karateka', that has been made available via the EAB forums. This fighting game was originally designed by Jordan Mechner who is best known for Prince of Persia and was released on Apple II, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Atari 7800, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, Famicom, ZX Spectrum, MSX and Game Boy, with the Atari ST version being the best graphically .....Until now.
