Uploaded some gameplay vids of ong lost Amiga games.

Well I was trying to find a couple of games on youtube for something I was planning and shock horror they didn't even exist....and that's just not on as they were early games that need to be up with all the rubbish on YT (general rubbish like crap clips from rubbish music that is heh) so I put them up there.

Was a massive PITA to record them on my setup with UAE and no sound via Camtasia but hell they are up there now and that's that

Arena Long Jump (couldn't get High Jump or Pole vault to work btw) and no sound because it was done with a separate capture program.

Also Skyfox Tank Training 1 played at 1FPS....bullet-time shmullit time pfffft

Couldn't lose the sound on that so had no choice but to use winUAE for the cap.

Enjoy...more soon

edit: added a couple of vids extra, both for my fave adventure game The Pawn by Magnetic Scrolls.

The Pawn, actually playing a bit of the game and showing just some of the features when playing it. It's been showing as 'still processing' forever...not sure why as it plays on my account console....probably yt is deciding which algorithm to make the high-res text unreadable lol

And because there was music on the Amiga specific version and of course the loading screen did a small placeholder cap of that too (will do it properly later, as it takes a minute to cap 1 second of UAE output and lags my machine to hell so will do it on some downtime whilst watching some movies sorry)

Believe me when I say I know only too well just how mis-represented and repressed the Amiga (and therefore it's importance since its introduction via the seminal classic wonder computer the A1000) throughout the time line of computing here in the media on EU television.

Here in the UK I have made 3 formal complaints for such television broadcasts which paint a picture of things going from....

Apple II/IBM XT.....Nintendo/Sega consoles.....Multimedia PC.
PC XT ....Apple Mac.....PC of today.

Not only factually incorrect but a poor use of state financed revenue.

Sadly people who didn't live Amiga will have no appreciation just what an empowering machine this was for creative people who didn't want a mathematics degree just to operate it. The Amiga made it possible for me to do amazing things like sample instruments and make MOD tunes or purchase inexpensive things like Digi-View + black and white security camera and end up with 1000s of colours worth of digitised images (when at the time 256 was maximum at 50% the resolution on PC for 400% the cost) and then do photo-montages with said richly colourful images before Photoshop was even a glint in an some Apple fanatic's eye.

Multimedia and a friendly OS only were only believed possible after people experienced them in an effective form on an Amiga. We are here to teach them how it really was regardless

Glad you're all liking the videos...it's a blast for me too. And the great news is the videos will be part of something wonderful I hope to finish very soon, spare time permitting....but that's a secret for now!

I've put a couple more up there now....but it turns out I need to upgrade my OS to XP (from Vista ) and source some new sound card drivers (no chance...Dell don't give a crap after v1.00 is written and released) to get sound recorded at the same time.

Which is a shame because Tempest 1200 is a very sweet game with some great music and really shows Jaguar owners what a waste of money that purchase was and brings home just how technically rubbish (for a Jaguar) that game was and yet it is hailed as the reason to get one...hmmm

Oh well I could do some ST games for now....not like anyone would miss the music of that soundchip haha

Turns out that Dell have not done a good enough job on the sound card drivers for this laptop so looks like I need to find a way round this to get  Camtasia to record with sound sadly
