The spirit of a famed Amiga classic game lives on with a brand new 2-player feature!

I have to agree given current climate. That there is nothing remotely cost effective people can buy off the shelf for them to develop for is not their fault. If someone came out and mass produced Minimigs cased up for £50-75 cool but until then things are just too small scale. Natami will suffer the same fate for the same reasons. Both are excellent products. Forget SAM460/X1000 ever being a viable market size.

It reminds me of the saying "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country"

Battle Squadron was one of a handful of Amiga only games which took the fight to 16bit Sega/Nintendo consoles and showed you that you didn't need a 16bit console at the time in a sea of ST ports or shovelware rush jobs.

Sure you can run UAE+Battle Squadron unchanged right now on tablets but now you have the chance to buy an updated/tweaked version also, if you choose to.

A computer platform is nothing without software. It was the software that made the Amiga great. The Amiga allowed programmers/developers/artists to explore a new digital frontier. That frontier has now been explored and there are exciting new places to go, with new platforms... But there are some of us who still enjoy stomping around in the old world, the Amiga's world, and it is games like this running on modern platforms that let us keep our old world alive. Without these, our old way of life would be all but forgotten.

I would say what made Amiga a pleasure to own was

1. Cutting edge custom chipset/hardware (for mid-late 80s)
2. A revolutionary Multitasking OS which didn't sap your creativity
3. The software.

ST also had some great software but the OS and hardware made it less memorable
