Eye of the Beholder AGA - MAC/PC playable Amiga dungeon crawler classic with Automap!

Only just recently I found a new site that enabled people to play retro games without all the hassle of setting anything up, it was just a download and run experience. But because many of their games are DOS based and being sold, we cannot mention any of their PC games. However that doesn't mean we can't mention Amiga games and it's today's special treat which may appeal to our avid dungeon crawler fans that was originally from the Amiga. The game we are going to shout about is in fact Eye of the Beholder, the Amiga AGA version which was written by Bertrand/CFou to support AGA (256 colors) GFX with automapping. - For the PC version you can buy it on GOG as well as Eye of the Beholder 2 and 3!

X-bEnCh - One of the best Amiga launchers available!

If you have an Amiga with an internal CF drive or any other way of playing whdload games through your Amiga, then this may be the software that your Amiga is screaming out for!  Don't get me wrong though there are other utilities to play Amiga games such as AG-launch and Igame but they don't always work with many of the newer whdload releases. So now along comes X-Bench which is not just an Amiga game launcher but it has many other cool features as well.  This front-end launcher can autoscan your hard drive to find all the whdload games available and organize them in an easily usable list.

Putty & Putty Squad - Two great Amiga platformers ready for you to play (PC Playable)

Game Type : Arcade, Platformer
Launcher Developer : The Company.Pl
Developer(s) : System 3, Amiga Community - Phil B-B, John Twiddy & Phil Thornton
Game Info Quote : Originally intended for release in the early 90s, Putty Squad features old-skool gameplay and frenetic action that showcases the creativity the Amiga platform was renowned for, in it’s unique and unaltered glory. While Putty Squad is available for current and next-generation consoles and is a re-imagining of a classic game, The Amiga version released on Christmas Eve, 2013 is the original code base, making Putty Squad for the Amiga the most authentic Putty experience available.
Release Update : Last month System 3 released a game that's been in hiding for 20 years, and that game was Putty Squad. The problem was, that you either had to use an Emulator to get the adf's working, real Amiga floppies or try through the whdload method and have it installed onto a real Amiga, emulated hard drive. Which does take a bit of faffing about and to some annoyance. Well now thanks to The Company.Pl you don't have to worry. As they have released this game and the prequel in a single useable exe file. Simply load it up and play!
Release : Now Available
Systems : PC
