We're chuffed to reveal the official artwork for "Return to Blacktooth", lovingly crafted by the talented @wiloverton.bsky.social More updates soon... #headoverheels #isometric #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #retrogame #amiga #atariST #NoAI #NoToAIArt #HumanArt #ArtByHumans

TONIGHT 8pm GMT at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - more #Amiga PD and Shareware games as we dig even further to find the fun, the quirky and sometimes just the amusingly bad. May or may not include this lot - who knows? You'll have to watch to find out.

Well that's one way to approach it. It's not a good way, or even a correct way, but at least I can say I used the mandatory LLM code assistant today.

The first batch of general release Kickstart 3.0 (UK) tickets are on sale: www.amigashow.com #Amiga

Enforced work laptop update has been running for 90 minutes now 🤷

Twin-Stick fans: you NEED to play Sektori. Jesus fuck. It’s incredible. I haven’t played a twin-stick game in ages that felt this slick, this frantic and this exciting.

SO Friends. Sidescroller. Samurai in a blue robe. The most Amiga-ass game. What was it? @greyalien.bsky.social @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com (I know I could look it up but I work from home and Crave Engagement)

I wrote a new blog post looking at the recently released #Settlers2 and #Blok #games for the #Amiga. I hope you enjoy it. www.epsilonsworld.com/2025/11/sett... #a500 #a4000 #retrocomputing

NEW VIDEO: I’m a big fan of Arcade Archives as one of those #retrogaming projects which celebrates a bunch of Arcade gaming’s past. So it’s time for another dive into the catalogue for more of them I Just Think Are Neat! youtu.be/LXTLlKvgBpc

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

I have uploaded my Mega Drive, Master System and NES audio files to Drive. They're 7 to 10 hours long. This way you can play it on your device without silly YouTube rules. All I ask is that you reply here and say Hi if you use them :D #NES #MasterSystem #MegaDrive #chiptunes Links follow ⬇️

Sleek, simple to use, powerful, and boots directly into games when required but is also a versatile machine capable of running desktop software? Plays nicely with TVs and monitors? Great controller support? It can only be... Huh? You were expecting a photo of a Steam Machine?

Live now, doing more dev experiments on the Sharp X68000. Come join us for drinks, like refreshments and and level of swearing proportional to the code refusing to work on real hardware! twitch.tv/djh0ffman

It's official! #PicoIDE, the open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator I've been working on for the better part of this year, will be launching at Crowd Supply! Go there to sign up for updates and to be notified when the campaign is live: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

Cloudflare shouldn't have cached the Forbidden Solitaire screenshots on our website! Little did they know...

My bike* doesn't work because Cloudflare is down. * Indoor trainer with an app hooked to Garmin who are presumably using Cloudflare for some things.

This was a really fun interview I did with Simon Parkin for Worms’ 30th anniversary. I discuss my 5 favourite games, as well as the development of Worms. shows.acast.com/my-perfect-c...

So Sektori is out - basically roguelike Geometry Wars. I took an early code on holiday with me in October and played nothing else for the whole week. Utterly electrifying. store.steampowered.com/app/2105620/...

Call at 9am Two calls at 10am Call at 11am Call at 3pm "Why isn't it finished yet?"

I have once again created a charity Retro Computer calendar for 2026!! Last year you helped raise £44 for charity by downloading my calendar. Let's try and beat that this year!! 🙏 Thank you!! loudscotsbloke.itch.io/retro-comput...

Live for tonight's #Amiga stream now over at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - drop by and say hello...

Me: [has something on work calendar] Manager: [books meeting that clashes] Every fucking day. Probably using AI.

TONIGHT 8pm GMT at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - more #Amiga Action coverdisks you say? Go on then. It's the summer of 1994 and demos are thin on the ground but there's still some to go round plus a load of PD games too. Come and see if they're any cop or not..

In 1985, on the secondary school open day I went to at the age of 10, the computer room featured a bunch of Acornsoft games running on the Model B's. In 2025, at the open day for the secondary school my son will be moving to, the computer room was running... a bunch of Acornsoft games via emulation.

Weekend reading. Maybe time to have a go?

Oh my

The XBOX (2001) is now as old as the Atari 2600 (1977) was when the XBOX was released.

Another packed out and smashing session in @basearcade.bsky.social this evening!

Any Amstrad CPC devs on here? I am using a pc to build, and I want to draw my graphics in a modern tool and export out as binary suitable for mode 0. Google has not been kind and not found any editors for Windows. Any recommendations?

First ever showing of a Magenta Next and Dreamtime Monty in the wild at Crash Live! 2025 #zxspectrumnext #zxspectrumnextgames #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Quite a nice surprise to see a custom joystick with my artwork on it today at Crash Live. Wired by for the CD32 version of @h0ffman.bsky.social ‘s Amiga conversion of Gareth Noyce’s game.

This embodies my relationship with programming projects so painfully accurately

Indie Retro News: Mission Alien - An Action Shooter is in dev by Matze1887 for the Amiga www.indieretronews.com/2025/11/miss... #retrogaming #amiga

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Wish I could have gone to RetroFest this weekend, but stupid Irish Sea makes it expensive. Also I’ve been away the past two weekends as it is and need to build up travel points again 😁

Ubunutu 24 LTS installed and a few apps installed. Worked better when I switched to Xorg and installed the Dash-To-Bar extension. I haven't tried installing any Amiga stuff yet - that's a whole thing on its own.

Buy a new drive or YOLO and wipe Windows 11 with Ubuntu?

Scored a ThinkPad Yoga X13 Gen 1 with i7 and 16GB RAM for under £200. It just arrived and it's like new! I'll install Ubuntu and use it as a travel #Amiga stuff machine. It's small, has plenty of grunt for dev/emulation, and the folding form factor means it can double up as a table demo machine.

Just noticed this little Lumo bit in the previous Amiga Addict (issue 39) @amigaaddict.bsky.social 😁 s73.girv.in/glog/2025/20... #Amiga #RetroDev

Looking (ahead) at upgrading my 2020 i9 MBP, probably before April for tax reasons. The comparison benchmarks between M5 and i9-9880H are ridiculous. www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_c...

I'm so tired of study after study that shows clear economic growth and stability for everyone (UBI, 4 day work week, universal healthcare, etc) but because the richest people in the country get rich faster without them, we all just suffer instead. And this over the top of already obscene wealth...

Next week's guest is @rockandrollmachine.bsky.social, creator of legendary multiplayer series Worms, the game that pits artillery-wielding soil dwellers in a fight to the death. This is one you won’t want to miss (with your sheep or banana bomb): bit.ly/43RMgx9

Thunder Helix - Converting all 3D models to use the CGA palette is underway (and might take a minute). Here's a missile rack that can blast the 1980's directly into any target. #gamedev #lowpoly 🚁

Live now, writing some code for a Sharp X68000? Hopefully! twitch.tv/djh0ffman

What's New Wednesday! 9 new games for retro systems later on Twitch. Including: Stunt Car Racer 128 (C128), Rebel Wars (ZX Spectrum), Pitfall II (Amstrad CPC) & El Chef (C64). 8pm UK today twitch.tv/charliefar

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
