TV-Logo screenshotTV-Logo is a program for displaying logotypes of TV stations. To use it you only need a plain Amiga (any Amiga will do, as long as it has KS 2.0 and a working floppy drive). Of course you'll also need a genlock to compose the Amiga output with the TV signal.

As you probably already noticed, the requirements are really low for such a program. Most similar programs need better Amigas and usually a hard disk, too. This program was designed to offer a simple solution to those who have smaller Amigas, but would still like to use them for such purposes. The program of course also works on better Amigas and can take use of hard disks, but these aren't required.

According to the low requirements, the program features are not exactly the best in comparison to other programs (these would result in bigger exe size and higher requirements), but still they offer enough to make the user happy.

The program offers easy switching among ten different source pictures for logotypes, ten preset logos (with specified size, RGB correction, position and ten different texts each (with configurable colour, size, font and style)) available at a touch of a button and several other useful features.

BallMaster screenshotBallMaster is a puzzle game with a simple basic idea and (hopefully) addictive gameplay. It can be easily learned to play without long manuals and instructions.

It is based on an old game named Logical which works only on Amigas with 68000 processor and Kickstart 1.3. This game tries to bring its idea to newer Amiga hardware and also tries to extend the original game with some new ideas. To play it on Windows or other non-Amiga OS, an emulator is needed.

The game features are:

  • OS friendly
  • 256 colour AGA graphics
  • 64 colour extra half bright ECS graphics
  • 100 levels
  • password access to every 5th level
  • numerous game elements
  • mouse controlled

I released the source code and all the developer material under the terms of GNU General Public Licence as I don't have time to work on the game any more. You are invited to download the source (written in Blitz Basic 2) and continue development yourself. Additional information can be found in the source archive.

Files available for download:

Forgotten Mine 1 screenshotIn the eightees one of the most widely spread and known games was Boulderdash (along with some other big 8-bit hits). This game had great playability but from the technical aspect it was rather poor. The times of 8-bit computers are with no doubt behind us, but that doesn't mean that those games are forgotten. There are several quality ports available for today's computers.

I have designed several levels for one of them, Emerald Mines for Amiga. You can download these from my site. To play them on Windows or other OS you need an emulator.

Forgotten Mine 1 (ForgottenMine1.zip (302.1 KB)) is a complete Emerald Mine V6 disk with 81 levels playable only in single player mode. You don't need any additional files, both AGA and ECS versions of the game are included in the archive.

Forgotten Mine 2 (ForgottenMine2.zip (12.21 KB)) archive contains 23 levels for Emerald Mine V6. No Emerald Mine executable is included, so you need to get it from elsewhere (from Forgotten Mine 1 archive for example). This should be a preview of Forgotten Mine 2 for which will probably never get finished.
