the site hasnt been updated since 2001
the amiga community has shrunk so much since then and is continuing to shrink until these amigaone machines become something spectacular and have os4 running on them, and they are CHEAP!

EROL: nice try but i think u approached this wrong , anyway i know that someone in the amiga community is and allready has spoken to bitmapbros and team17 about several things , and most of all linking to an site like hyperion is wrong...i know what you tried to do and that we appriciate.

lets hope we have abit better luck next time..

oh btw, why they answered your email, well its their job and all serious companies does that including all pc companies whom has been asked for stuff like sources (duke nukem 3d for one... :) etc.... anyway keep the spirit dude!!

Fair comment, just its frustrating to know that we have a machine and OS being released but what about developer houses?  without that the Amiga will die for sure.

You should keep in on here as it was a good try (without the hyperion link)

I doubt many serious software houses would touch  AOS4 or MorphOS due to the size of the user base, if they do then great.

Bitmap bros and Team 17 are fantastic ol skool partners to have for the future of the A1/OS4 venture.

But has anyone from Hyperion or A inc contacted Cinemaware (http://www.cinemaware.com)[/url], about a joint venture to releasing their classic digitally remastered games.

They are back you know!

@KingTutt

With the problems clickBOOM has been having getting money (or responses) from Cinemaware for their porting I very much doubt that they are back. Perhaps they were back for just a short time.  :-(

... and now the clickBOOM webpage seems to be missing
