Title: Hello From Sweden (Karlstad) again
Post by: Staffan on December 22, 2023, 01:00:31 PM
Hello!
Im a 42 year old guy living Karlstad. I have been active in the C64 community for a while, for an example I released the game "Eggerland mystery" for the C64. However I recently bought an Amiga 500.

I will try and upgrade it a little bit, but if I fail and it breaks, this hobby will probably stop here...

I actually had an Atari ST during the days, but since the community for Amigas is much greater, Ive come to join your side. :)

Would really like to see some games that shows what an Amiga 500 can do, and my dream is of course to release one myself.
When it comes to C64 I think the best games are made today. while I dont expect it to be the same on the Amiga side (its of course a more complicated machine), its still nice that they release new games :)

Welcome! 👍🏻

Plenty of Games still being produced for the Amiga today. Check out the new Doom game being produced called “Grind”. As you maybe aware the C64 scene is still active as well.

I believe Karlstad is also where Chucky lives, so you’re lucky if your a500 needs repairs :)

You can already play Doom and quake on Amigas, but you do need a good accelerator 👍🏻
