I'm re-reading from the start, it's been a while since the last installment!

My pleasure.

I just finished reading the first 7 parts, gonna have to fire up some Amiga games now!

I just came here to post this myself

An awesome read, I can't believe how good TBL StarStruck still looks too.

Holy crap, I just got around to watching Starstruck, that blew my mind, that must have been one massively pimped out PPC based Amiga to pull that off! :eek:

[djos]

StarStruck was made for 68060 and runs quite smoothly on a 50Mhz one

Impressive! :cool:

[djos]

And it looks even better on a 060-equipped Atari Falcon

How does that work seeing it is an Amiga Demo???

My pleasure, thanks for writing such a great series! I've pre-ordered Brian bagnals Amiga book will always have room for another should you write your book.

Btw I liked how you started off part 1 with Dave Haynies death bed vigil walk thru, I have it on DVD and its a great but sad watch.
