SCOOPEX News

The game disk was imaged and thankfully not corrupted, then sent to Galahad for the usual treatment.

This is a rare game from back in the day, made to be sold with a specific light gun! It's hard, but pretty good actually, not least due to the music by TSM (Felix Schmidt).

This 1991 Amiga game has been incompatible with  accelerated Amigas. There is now a proper cracked 4-disk version, with a trainer to boot, courtesy of Stingray/Scoopex!

Photon's Youtube series continues, this time adding cloud layers to our Amiga OCS demo, together with the graphics and code support needed to achieve this effect.

On 7th August, Reward (Sami Vanhatalo) passed away, only 47 years young.

Had a nice chat with Bacchus/FLT and here's a video from a few days ago about Amiga & my top 10 OCS demos. :)

I mention a few simple scripting methods for the demo and settle on one, adding scroll commands to the scroll text.

I have a right-handed QuickShot 162, a Tac-2 modded with terminal keyboard fire button, and an old arcade panel with a JK microswitch joystick and blade-switch buttons that I put across my knee whenever I feel the urge. :) Why make a new one?

Phew.. A lot has happened since last time. I relocated my whole family to USA.. The centre of Silicon Valley to be more precise and in a middle of year just before Xmas. That was quite a stretch to be honest. My furniture, geek crap and stuff arrive as late as mid March ;) Anyway, mid June was the first time I actually had time for myself, visit Fry's, buy enough 110V/60Hz stuff to build my gear (Amiga for example) a PSU that works here.. and tadaa.. my A600 was alive.

My little menagerie of Amigas got a workover last week. Some little nags that I wanted to fix. One of those was file modified dates on my source files ;)
