Thanks :)
and together with Hybris. We pretty much set the technical blitter and sprite standard on the Amiga back in 1988. :)


I must buy this number of Retro Gamer and read about it :) It is a very nice magazine for us retro heads

Not a fan of that magazine. I've got a few of the earlier ones and they are full of mistakes.

In one of them I was flicking through recently I noticed an article on Dizzy where they said it was made by the Bitmap Brothers.


Yes that is quite a mistake i will say :)
