Who remembers the Commodore ad campaign "Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Cause the Commodore is keeping up with you". It started with a 1984 commercial from Australia made for the portable Commodore SX-64. Here is my Commodore 8-bit collection. #Commodore64 #C64 #Commodore

FASTER for #Amiga OCS/ECS: Following much head scratching, the speedo in the bottom right has been switched from BoBs to hardware sprites, giving a nice performance boost and other cool benefits that I'll come to later.

I did say this would be no lazy STE->Amiga conversion. 😄

A nice new port of OutRun for Amiga based on the arcade code.

Needs AGA + CPU accelerator, looks like it’s too slow on a regular setup.

#Infocom's Planetfall has had its source code released years ago, and Steve McCrea used it to fix some bugs and create an optional "modern" version that won't kill you, leave you in an unwinnable state unfairly or have the hunger timer.
