"But as humble little guys just making Dizzy games, we can't control that." (About GenAI being theft) Commodore tried the we're just smol beans line when it did its GenAI ad and non-apology after the backlash. Neither are hard up for a coin to pay creators. Sickening replies from the Olivers.

I am considering doing an upgraded version of my Neon Gyre for the #NeoGeo console. Any interest in a high powered Tempest 2000 inspired shooter for the Neo? Will support joystick and of course the rotary controller. This is gameplay video of the latest Master System build

I could honestly imagine this on the Atari Jaguar. It would be awful and great at the same time.

BMX Heat, an unreleased prototype by Atari, uses some hardware similar to Hard Drivin (or Street Drivin), and would have had a bicycle controller to play! Image from the collection at The Strong.

Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Autumnal vibes with the Amiga 1200. Tonight I've been listening to Red Sparowes on my A1200 through AmigaAmp. Bliss.

Doom RPG on the Amiga 1200! This little conversion is brilliant. This is my first time playing the dungeon-crawler style Doom RPG and I've been really enjoying it. I highly recommend this one.

21 people died on the Garvaghy and Obins Roads during the “dispute”, all of which carried out to protect the Order. As the GRRC mentioned yesterday, on the scale of England’s population, this would make roughly 2,700 dead. Palestine Action was proscribed with a total of 0.

Incidentally, I saw this the other day (Caffe Lucca in Halifax, Nova Scotia) and I now want to go and buy a coffee there.

I just saw a post from some guy saying that traditional music is “over” because AI music will provide “infinite personalised songs”. I want music that reflects the misshapen thoughts of another human being, not the output of an algorithmic average.

I remain pretty bummed out by the state of decompilations, ports, FPGA cores etc these days. The rise of GenAI has really flooded the whole scene with garbage and kinda poisoned the whole concept. Good piece from @pandamonium.bsky.social on it www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c...

Before Portal, there was, well, Portal. Activision's 1986 'computer novel' is one of the examples of the kind of entertainment software being developed for the Commodore Amiga in its first year. High concept, artsy, and tapping into the creativity-focused marketing for the computer.

A scan of the box from Mobygames, with an almost completely glossy black cover and the worlds PORTAL and the computer novel tagline at the top. Ghost-like faces can be seen at the bottom of the cover. In the upper centre: an evocative premise.

Homer, A Biological Computer. The Final Link to the Past and the Only Conduit to the Future. But Homer is dying and access grows weaker moment by moment. Will you discover where everyone has gone or will to the doorway to humanity close forever, leaving you totally alone?

Asteroids for the '90s demo and club scene: Super Stardust. Developed by Finland-based Bloodhouse Software and released in 1994 for Amiga, Super Stardust is an enhanced version of the original Stardust. Bloodhouse would merge with Terramarque in 1995 to form Housemarque, developers of Returnal.
