New book: Bootblock Rebels - The Hidden Stars of The Amiga Underground

Live on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitman/bootblock-rebels
Amiga: “Don’t copy that floppy!” We saw the warnings. We ignored them. We just wanted to play Turrican, Rainbow Islands, Shadow of the Beast & Speedball.

Warned by PSA, powered by swap disks. Goal: Turrican and friends.

Ever wondered what happened at night when a new Amiga game was about to drop? Groups raced to get it - sometimes before the official release - so it could spread worldwide fast.

BOOTBLOCK REBELS - The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground

I’m writing a book about the Commodore Amiga cracking scene (1985-1996) - the people, the groups, the culture, and the stories behind it, based on interviews & scene material.

Amiga - a new game in your hands. No box - just a disk. A name on the screen.

Who were they - and how did it reach you?

While you slept, the scene stayed up. All-night sessions, so you could play games on your Amiga you loved, but couldn’t afford. A new book tells the story behind those late-night sessions:

If you had an Amiga, you probably played games copied from a friend. But someone always had the first copy, how?.

You remember copying games with X-Copy? And U had the game on release day.

But how was that possible?
