    If Jay Miner was still with us today he would be so proud to see his baby finally producing and displaying these types of games that you have reviewed up your channel, it goes to show that the Amiga always had this potential but the programmers of the time couldn't get the most out of it or maybe that was a marketing thing, I say thankyou to independent teams once again coming along and showing what our "friend" is all about in 2020. Three cheers for the Amiga, hip hip hooray X3, nice video loved it.

      Thankyou so much. I've been an Amiga owner since 1987, I'm 50 now, the platform, aka "my baby" has always kept me me using "her" on a daily basis albeit my expanded A1200, for everything even more so now as am using XCAD for designing Raspberry Pi arcade cabinets. Long live our sweetheart.

I follow you since about 2 years ! already !! , I sold my computers in 1994 but bought again my CD32 in 2016 and now I so happy with it, she keep me the teenage spirit and love for these feeling that Commodore was more than a computer, a friend, something who show the best of our imagination. Agree, Jay Miner is happy in the heavens and he look at you :) cheers. The Amiga Community (in France too) is magic !! Now I need to get Wizz, such superb game :) Thairacer.

What about Amiga, old video tape player / recorder? I have all possible converters (digital, analogue) but can’t figure out recording Analogue devices...

A majority of the game is now done, we've done a ton of fine tuning over the last few months...so much so now it plays about the best we can get it to play.

I'm wondering as the idea of someday having an AmigaOne X5000 appeals to me (if some day I could afford it), but for me it's not really an Amiga unless all in a case like the 1200 or 500 since that's what I grew up with.
