Cinemaware is Back on AmigaOS!

Why they approached hyperion instead of cloanto?. Aiming for classics willget more widespread.

if i remember correctly it was the other way around. someone approached cinemaware to see if they would be willing to allow hyperion to re-release the games for their customers. maybe @ssolie can confirm that; if i remember correctly he did quite a lot of the legwork on getting these games nicely packaged for us. it's been a real treat.

since cinemaware already have the ADFs available for classic-compatible platforms, who knows? maybe cloanto would be interested in including them in their next amigaforever release? i think you've got a good idea there. i'm very happy with the re-released packages since i get the manuals and everything and the games launch from the workbench like any other. maybe you could contact cloanto to see if they can build RP9 versions of the cinemaware games, too?

seems removing comments starts to be a habit around here.

I've always been a Cinemaware fan and wish them success, but I guess some could have misunderstood my post as a negative or off-topic if taken a certain way. message will self-destruct in 3...2...1

Cool guys! Cinemaware is serious amiga roots and these games still roxx to this day! I've been playing wings on my a1200 recently, but man those whodload game docs in ascii are hard to read. This is such a cool distribution with the extra docs and art, saves a lot of time and searching. Thanks

Cinemaware is Back on AmigaOS? It never left did it, still playing Cinemaware games on Amiga OS 3.5/3.9 ;-)

If only I could afford a 4.1 system :-(
