Genesia - If you loved Populous or Settlers then check this Amiga-PC classic out

In 1993 Microids and Software Toolworks released a brilliant strategy game called Ultimate Domain (Genesia) for the Amiga. It was very similar to other classic strategy games of that time, as you started in the 17th century and had to colonize the new world, but also having to search for 'The Seven Jewels of Genesia'. It was one of my most favourite strategy games of all time and I was rather pleased to hear from our good friends The Company.PL, that they have made available the Amiga to PC playable release that everyone can pick up and play without setting up emulators.

Super Jump Man - Super Mario's Demake via Mini Ludum Dare 50

What do you get if you push Super Mario through a Demake Mini Ludum Dare 50 blender, you'll get Super Jumpman from Zatyka. This Demake is full of fun things to do and Mario has a special trick up his sleeve, he can hop from one wall to another. But as is always the case with Mario games, there are baddies to contend with, and traps to avoid, but that shouldn't be a problem for the Mario pro's out there.  All in all it's a fun game but I felt it was laggy at times on this Mac and even though there is a button to run, my character wouldn't. But for being free and browser based, I can't complain too much.

Solid Gold - Amiga fan based Platformer for the PC!

Unlike most games featured from the Amiga on Indie Retro News, this is a game that didn't have a commercial release and was developed by Night Owl Design who is an Amiga fan. The developer obviously has a good taste for Rick Dangerous as the look and feel of this game is very similar. SOLID GOLD is a Jump'n Run with 8-way soft scrolling. It's was written for the classic Amiga hardware and designed in the style of the early 90s. The game has ten levels spanning four worlds, with different graphics and enemies. Each level's goal is to find an artefact which will lead the way to the next world. This game is pretty easy to get up and running via WinUAE or your Amiga, but the best way for most people is on a PC via the company.pl's single exe files and that's exactly what this version is!
