old game developers
 

I was just googling around when I stumbled upon the website from the dude who developed Nitro, Qwak and A.T.R. for the amiga.

Anyone know any other links to websites from ancient amiga game developers?

Well that settles it. Qwak has 80 levels. Weren't there some discussion of this earlier?

BTW...he's using the word ROMS for his amiga games.

Hes got an unpublished game/demo too ;)

Amiga (programming done in 68000 assembler, and optomised by hand).

Researched the Amiga's hardware capabilities, including hardware scrolling and sprites.
Implemented a hardware scrolling game engine that switched in real time between hardware scrolling and page flipping (not scrolling). This was used to create a 2D elite style space trading game.
Implemented various tile based map editors and other game asset creation tools.

I hope attention to detail was upheld when he was doing his "optomising" - imagine the consequences if you made a typo or spelling mistake when "optomising" your code ! :p

You'd most likely end up with a Guru Medication

Quick, lets get Akira & Bub the Zombie on the case, he'll change his vile ways then!

Actually I'd say we should just leave him to his words... I really don't care if he calls it roms. Sure it's wrong, but why preach it to people who just wants to speak the language of many of the people visiting?

I mean, he's most likely that his games were not released on ROMs but rather on disks.

I wonder if the AGTW crew are onto this?

Chris Hülsbeck and the whole Factor5 Team (Turrican, etc.) are still busy:

Anyone know if those games are cracks on Jamie Woodhouse's site?

A few that I can think of off the top of my head

Panther Games http://www.panthergames.com/
Jeff Minter (Llamasoft) http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/
Team 17 http://www.team17.com/

BTTR has a pretty comprehensive list of game companies at http://www.back2roots.org/Makers/Companies/

Had been going to list Steve Turner's own Graftgold page dedicated to his & Andrew Braybrook's old Graftgold company, though it seems to be out of action at the moment,
http://www.graftgold.com/
You get some bits of history relating to it,(& the link) here though, looks like an EAB member's site, if I'm not mistaken!
