O.R. - just terrific. I used Termite back in the day, bought and registered, and the TCP stack too. They made good software!

Thanks Mr Luneski and O.R. !

Now I wanna look into that games development stuff just for curiosity

Cool review of Gamesmith by Dave Haynie. Hey Cammy... were you working on a a game at one point?

Excellent.  How good is this GameSmith Development System?  Has anyone here personally used it?

Let's send up a big HOORAH! for Robert Luneski and Mr. Gully.

(I have boxed copies of Termite for each of 3 Amigas,but still good to see old software being freed.Maybe I'll do something with Gamesmith.)

@Gulliver

Do you have copies of all of the software you want to post?

@orb85750

The GameSmith Development System is about the best there is for 2D Amiga software.  It comes standard with CPU-assisted blitting routines that make up for Commodore using such a slow blitter in the hardware.  It also contains custom copper-list routines.  Basically it makes up for all of the shortcomings of Graphics.library in the OS itself.

Anyway, here are two downloads for your enjoyment!

I have the Termite telecomm (non-TCP) program and the nice OnTheBall personal organizer program I can contribute.

@hardlink
Please share them with us! If you want send me a PM and I will upload them to a server.

No, I have a legit copy of TermiteTCP only, the other software I dont have it.
Anyway, as my Amiga 1200 motherboard died, I only managed to dig copies that someone else uploaded to the web.

Back in the day it was the best most complete dev tool I could find. I never published any thing, but I began working on two games using GameSmith. Had them both about half done with graphics, custom fonts, sprites and very limited play. Only took a few weeks to get that far.

I wonder if I still have those old files... probably not. Anyway, my job changed, I had to move, priorities changed and those projects never got finished. Still I remember GameSmith fondly though.

BTW, found this link while poking around...

Great! Kudos to Robert Luneski. I think I still have one of his Oregon Research newsletters when I bought a SquirrelSCSI and TermiteTCP from him.

[hishamk]

That's awesome news...

FYI, Termite was developed by Steven Frank of Panic Software (developers of Transmit and Candybar for the Mac). He's got a blog here and he's quite a bit of an Amiga collector/fanatic!

On the Ball was a very nice program, I just got too lazy to input the information
