Emerald Caves - An adapted and expanded 1980's Amiga game by Peke

If you remember playing Kingsoft's Boulder Dash clone of 'Emerald Mine', a game which was released way back in 1987 to 1988, then you are going to love this latest news story that's just been sent to us by Saberman. As he has told us that Peke has made available the OCS and AGA two player game of 'Emerald Caves': An adapted and expanded Commodore Amiga game by Peke. To coincide with this news, provided below are two videos, one from the original and the other from Peke.

Matt Chat interviews Volker Wertich, Father of The Settlers


When I was a teen one game I remember so fondly was the early 90's game ' The Settlers ' on the Amiga. It had oodles of charm and character and became one of my most addictive game series ever released on both the Amiga and then later the PC. You could build your very own little village, from woodcutters to farms and bakeries while watching your little people go about their daily chores with birds chirping in the background. It was just a shame that Ubisoft decided to wreck the later games and become a shadow of its former self. Thankfully Matt Chat was on hand this month to help relive those glorious days as he has interviewed ' Volker Wertich ' about the Commodore VIC-20 and C-64, the Amiga, Emerald Mine, and yes, The Settlers.
