Don't forget ArtEffect 4.

Thanks.
The original post has been updated with more.
-
I hope this list helps.
-
This a list of modern stuff?
-
I do not think that there is much modern stuff in Amiga these days.
Being able to run software on Aros,UAE and AOS4.O is about it.
I wish there was more modern software.
I wish the Amiga had updated hardware.
Pc hardware with Aros(i386) and UAE integration, I hope, will make it worth while.
Unfortunately this is all still hobbyist.
-
Personal Paint ! Still a great software, please include...

@AeroMan
AmigaForever has it.

well that makes this good list into a bad list. Amiga Forever is in the emulation section and PPaint is an art package so should be in the art graphical package section and not listed in emulators. You may not want amiga forever to use it

@foleyjo
I did not add it because I do not know yet if it can be obtained separately.
:-D
-
You are aware that Amiga Active & Total Amiga no longer exist?
-
This is the the third time I looked at this topic, but for some reason I am very much missing the point of this list.
It does not list existing (in development) software, nor does it list free or freely available software. There are thousands of software packages for the Amiga, so I'm not quite sure what the TS is trying to say here...
Please enlighten me :-)
-
I made this because I wanted to list some software that is being sold.
I need to update what is not being made anymore.
New people seem to come by amiga.org fairly regular.
I hope the list will help them find some stuff they want or need.
I plan to start an Aros list.
I do not know what all is available.
Open source software needs to be listed and or high lighted.
@amiboy
Thanks. Amiga Future is it. :-D
-
I updated the Page Stream link.

Under text/programming I think you are missing Cubic Ide / GoldEd (Home of Cubic Ide (http://devplex.awardspace.biz/cubic/index.html))

I'm surprised you hadn't listed MED Soundstudio as currently developed software. There is a Yahoo group that will send you a download link when you join:
MED Soundstudio Amiga Platform Only (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MED_Soundstudio_Amiga_Platform_Only/)

I hope someone has recieved some good use out of this thread.
Maybe the new or returning users will find it helpful.
I hope I can show who is still making or selling software for the Amiga.
-
Other than Disney Animation Studio, what other software was used for animation? I should break this into 2D and 3D software.
I saw a Computer Chronicle video about the Amiga 3000 and the Video Toaster. They showed the disney software and it was good to watch how it was used.
Good day.
-
I added Amiga Future to the list
-
If you try to make a serious list, please don't add your personal opinion like "best 2D paintprogram blabla".
Remove "Blitz basic"
Add "Amiblitz3 (amiblitz.amiforce.de)
Add "HD-Rec (http://www.hd-rec.de)

I did not add it because I do not know yet if it can be obtained separately.

I am hoping to update this post this week.
I want to expand this to include anyone in AV production/ music production and use the amiga in work/dev. I want to include sam440/X1000, Natami and others to the list.
Thanks.

Don't forget SASC in the Programming category.
-
I did some updating.
-
Bump.

Mattathias BASIC is on indefinite hold but AmosPro has gone open-source. Both Sidewinder and I are participating in the updating of AmosPro so you can safely ignore the Mattathias website now. Instead see the new Amos Factory (http://www.ultimateamiga.co.uk/index.php/page,16.html) on the UltimateAmiga network.

Thanks.
I can not edit.

You forgot AdPro...

Hi,
Have most of the packages you named, I am currently doing a home inventory data base and I am using Softwood File IIsg, so far it is the only data base that can handle all the data and also where I can use a picture for what I am recording for insurance purposes. I decided to use the Amiga 4000 again for important stuff when both winblows and Linux dropped information using Open Office Base. The only good thing was it still had the picture drawer with all the pictures in it, which using gimp I transferred over the pictures by scaling and making a gif, then when I put them in the Amiga I used Image Studio (shareware off aminet) to turn the GIF into a iff-ilbm ham6 which Softwood File IIsg could use.
It sure is funny that having a game machine that can pump out power enough to play today's new games can't even hold data for a data base. Maybe it is just the software I am using, I use open office because it has no limitations and I really can't afford Microslot Office. I checked on the internet and found one other program called Home Inventory, it is pretty good, but if you change computers it become complex to reinstall the database and associate it with the picture folder especially when you have 100 or more pictures in it. With softwood file iisg all you have to do is put the picture file in the softwood file drawer and inside the program use the perimeter page to tell it where the pictures are. Just goes to show how far in the future Amiga programmers designed for and how well thought out their programs where.
Not like today's people who look at the past and see what they can design with it, I mean originally that was what the Amiga was, a computer for the future, and Jay Miner designed a computer with that thought in mind, and it just goes to show today.
Anyhow, all the programs you mentioned I have, but I am looking for one program, I read about it and would like to get it, it is called Twist 2, have the manual which I downloaded off the internet, would like to see how it compares to softwood file IIsg, I would of used SuperBase4, but for some reason my disk works, but it comes out with a huge crash when I copy it over to my hard drive, I haven't figured out how to use pictures in Amiga Vision's database and I am still working on that.
Well that is that, have fun, and if you get a chance take a look at Softwood File IIsg.
Oh I forgot to mention, Softwood file doesn't recognize any hard drives of a very large size, (I believe it is 2.1 gigs but I can't verify) so my data base is being kept on a 512 mbyte CF card. My Amiga 4000 has been switched over to two CF drives, one 8gig and one various mounted in the bottom front of my 3.5 inch bays. This way I can interchange CF cards as needed, I like this because once I am done with the data base, I can take the CF card out and put it in a safe in my separate garage, this way if the house burns down, I can take that and a copy of Amiga Forever and mount it on another computer, I have also made provisions of a CD-32 in the garage where I can just plug in the CF and use it along with a TV monitor, and yes I do have an old SX-1 out there also. Remember when you are thinking of insurance proof, you have to plan for what if's. Got burned a couple of years ago by my home owners insurance company and had to accept a loss for about $30,000 worth of electronic, computer furniture and jewelry, so if you do this plan ahead, insurance adjusters will say you are lying through your teeth and actually brought me up on charges for insurance fraud. I got lucky that the detective investigating the crime found the crook and about 20% of the stuff that I had, showing the insurance company I had what I said I had.
Amiga planning for the future.

@ trekiej:
If you look at my software list, a lot of titles there are missing on your list...

I'll copy it and paste it.

What about the following:
Desktop Publishing
- PageSetter (I, II & III)
- ProPage

- Caligari Broadcast
- Caligari 24
- Aegis 3D Modeller

Hi,
What are you guys, rookies?
I thought you guys said you were Amiga addicts, heck I had that much during the first year that Amiga came out. Are you guys just starting to collect software, or is that your lifes work. If that is your lifes work, then you must be an apple user. Heck I have that much software using PC's. (and an empty wallet to prove it). Ok, nothing for me to see here I have all that is shown and more. I got most of the important expensive programs when the companies gave up on Amiga and posted it up for free. Then some I got from abandoned software sites.
The one program I am really looking for is Twist II. I read the free manual online and it looks interesting. If anyone knows where I can buy a copy please tell me.
Thanks for any info, by the way if you are looking for certain drivers, like for the Apollo, or spirit boards or anything give me a call I may have it in my archives. Really angry because I lost the fred fish collection, all disks where destroyed, and I also lost my magazine disk collection, didn't see the box in the garage, when I finally found it, all disks where mildewed and unsaveable. Over a hundred pounds of disks and programs.
Oh well it is what it is.
-
I started this years ago to show what was available in hardware and software.
It would be nice to have a guide.
Someone could search for a program they used to have or never had.
-
If you need a database about Amiga software, books and anything else, why not use
already available stuff like ASD from Amiga Future website (http://www.amigafuture.de/asd.php)
or the wellknown databases about Amiga hardware?!

This was a response to something that was going on here at the time.
