Amiga Plus/4 Emulator - Flamingo

[CU_AMiGA]

Flamingo is a Commodore Plus/4 emulator for Amiga 68k and PPC. I have tried this, and is a pretty decent emulator, games running at full speed. For me, it is the only Plus/4 emulator worth owning on Amiga, and only one that works! :-) I recommend that people should try it out - Don't forget to get the BASIC and KERNAL ROM Images, and join them together using the "JOIN" command.

Apple2000 works pretty good.

There were games for the Plus/4?

Commodore Plus-4 World

Have fun!  :-)

Yeah. The Plus/4 was a pretty good machine, but if it had C64 support, it would have been much better. Some titles were even cut down version of C64 titles.

I like your avatar by the way. Very funny! :-)

Well....  I wouldn't say it's a few tons, but a lot more games than I expected to see.  Thanks for the link.

I wonder why the Plus/4 was such a flop in the US?  I never recall seeing ANYTHING available for them here.  The department stores only had C64/128.  Even the dedicated Commodore authorized computer shops only carried Pet/Vic/C64/C128 software.  (And then, of course, later on, Amiga software...)

Learn something new every day, I suppose.

cp4 is pretty good as well, but AFAIK no longer developed.  Flamingo has better compatibility though - Squirm for instance doesn't work properly on cp4.
