Well... Isn't it kinda cheeky to post at amigans forum and ask for a support for iOS/Android/PC version of your game?

Better tell us what would be the overall cost of a version for AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS. Then open a kickstarter project for it and come back here to advertise it.

It is definitely cheeky to ask a company who's doing a Kickstarter campaign to get started to do a port to a system with a miniscule user base..  ;-)


If that's the case then what the heck they're doing posting on Amiga.org forum? Their message is like: "Hey, we are Cinemaware, and our company used to make games for Amiga. You know what? We need your money so that we could do a fantastic remake for iOS/PC/Whatever-not-Amiga, so come on and pledge". Maybe in a week or two we'll get a news item by Microsoft CEO: "Hi, our company made a stunning version of Amiga BASIC once, so go now and buy Windows 8/9/X/whatever"?

I think they figured that a lot of us Amiga fans also have iOS, Android and PCs, and yet still remember Cinemaware fondly...

You just gave an excuse to Microsoft (and probably a dozen of other software companies) to spam Amiga.org with their commercials. Good job :crazy:

So they were waiting for me???


You know what I'm talking about - Cinemaware is no way better than any remake-it-yourself-former-Amiga company. No reason to debate about its plans and products, moreover - I don't believe this announcement deserves a news item on the main page. Or maybe we'd all like to read about new versions of Lightwave, Prince of Persia, or Worms?

Once again someone tries to bring back some of the old Amiga magic


Hey, there's a lot of this magic around lately: Look - The Settlers 7, Worms Revolution - why haven't I seen a single news on Amiga.org concerning these brilliant and full of "Amiga magic" pieces of software?

I don't care if the new Cinemaware makes money on their new PC game or not. I guess they should if they DESERVE it - that would be fair. But I won't shed a tear if they don't.

And one more thing: Where, my dear and beloved brother did ANYONE in this thread (not counting you) write anything about making an Amiga-oid version of Wings: DC FOR FREE?

Okay, so here where a couple of guys who said "if there will a amiga port, i will pledge". So please open your wallet, we got an annoucement to make.


Bra-vo. Hmm... I guess I'll just put my money where my mouth is. Thank you. I'm waiting eagerly for an AmigaOS/MorphOS port.
