We're nearing a month before the start of this year's AmiWest show and DevCon. Even 25 years after the demise of Commodore, this year's show is shaping up to be one of the best yet and the Amiga scene is vibrant across hardware and software.
First, on the hardware front, we will have new
AmigaOne X5000's for sale on the show floor. There are also many developments in hardware for Classic machines, like the
Amiga 4000 replacement board.
On the software front, 2018 has seen new releases of system and applications software:
MorphOS ,
Vampire,
AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag 4 , and
WinUAE. Already 2018 has been a good year for Amiga gaming with new Classic and NG games released.
This year's show will feature a number of presentations along with more than 20 tables on the show floor. Our featured presenters will be
Aaron Smith (Amiga On The Lake) ,
Jamie Kruger (BitbyBit ), Hans De Ruiter (Radeon Driver developer), SACC members, and more.
Daniel Muessener will also be making a special trip to his first AmiWest. In addition to working with many Amiga developers, like
Entwickler-X ,
Hans De Ruiter, and
Hyperion Entertainment, Daniel has done a lot of work porting games to the Amiga platform, such as the
kickstarter hit,
Tower57. Join us at the
banquet to learn more about this asset to the Amiga Community.
As always, for those who can't make it, check
Brian's Blog or the
AmiWest Website for details on the live stream.
AmiWest is about celebrating the Amiga community and camaraderie. We would appreciate if everyone can spread the word about the show. Reach out to your Amiga friends and invite them to join you. The more the merrier!
