Amiga Format: Blitz Basic competition games
Hi all,
I have an archive of (presumably most of) the Amiga Format Blitz Basic competition games. This does not include the Worms prototype - I have no copies of this. I'm also not sure if there are other games entered into the competition that are not in this archive. Of the 29 entries that I do have, 19 of them don't appear to be online in any form, and at least 1 (Apple Jack) seems to be different from the version that is online. All of them I've managed to get working, though for some of them I've made some slight hacks (non-ascii filenames etc). Some even include source code, and two of them are utilities (a database app and a tracker app). Title screenshots from all the games are here and my notes spreadsheet about all of the games is here I'd love to be able to dump all of the games that aren't otherwise available - however it's been pointed out that permission should be sought from the individual authors to do that.
If you're interested in helping out with the project (or if you'd like a copy for archiving purposes) please send me a PM, cheers. |

Thanks for uploading! Never seen any of these games before.
Some others might worth to check out are the games submitted by readers. These games can be found on the "readers games" drawer on the Amiga Cover CD:s. |
@Akira ah yes, "clone" is more accurate.
They come from an Acid Software HDD backup (where I got Sibwing and the source code for Gloom from). @hipoonios no worries! Hmm.. you know, I don't believe there's a longplay for Sibwing online. Would you be interested? ;) http://aminet.net/package/game/demo/sibwing |
Shame you can't find the original Worms! I didn't know it was made in Blitz :O

This one is a standout! The controls are slightly awkward but it's very well polished. It seems this is the shareware edition but neither shareware nor full have been released to the public. https://youtu.be/KSbQ7CtxIqE |
