Title: Amos development contests and indie-arcade initiatives
Post by: nitrofurano on December 14, 2013, 02:29:49 PM
in these years i were seeing two interesting initiatives that perhaps would be amazing seeing Amos being a part of it:

1. retro game development contests, like Karoshi's msxdev ( http://karoshi.auic.es/index.php/board,26.0.html ), #msxdev compo ( http://msxbanzai.tni.nl/compo/ ), csscgc ( csscgc2013.blogspot.com ), smspower coding competition ( http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=9 ), etc. - would be amazing seeing a year long lasting development competition about Amos, and it doesn't needed to be motivated by prizes (csscgc isn't, for example)

2. indie arcade initiatives like Torontron ( http://handeyesociety.com/torontron/ ) or Winnitron ( http://winnitron.ca/ ) - this would be an interesting showcase of actual games developed in Amos, and specially if developed from contests as i cited above - and not only this, since arcade machines based on Amiga actually exists ( http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=765&gid=494#494 ), they are pretty rare and too focused as laserdisc game kind.

What do you all think about these two ideas of initiatives, specially when combined? ;)

I would welcome any initiative about programming
new games in amos. Actually I am thinking about
creating a new amos game.
Check my old PD game in aminet: WIZ.lha

Hi 'amigo':
yes !!! that is my game !!!
WIZ
When introducing the path in disk to look for the pics,
enter the correct path followed by the '/' symbol.
the game then can load the pics for the game.
The game can be run from floppy or Hard Disk.
