Hi, my name is Duncan or "The Dunc" as they call me. Once a week I clip up the latest show and put it out on Facebook and add these links.


Glad you enjoy the show. Please tell your pals!

[AmigosGaming]

In a first for the channel, the Amigos take a look at Edutainment software on the Amiga. Here they brush up on their keyboard skills with Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.

Loved it back in the day, and finally found a new original copy last year. The game is great fun!

[Pyromania]

Thanks Pyromania. Did you know about the different sets of graphics A500?


Our new episode is out.



Legends! We are lucky enough to have a couple in Boat and Aaron but these aren't the legends we are looking at today. Released in 1996 could this game hope to compete with its console based inspiration?

On top of the main review there is the usual look at our new videos and the weekly Amiga News round up.



Next week we being our Second Look series where we revisit games which were reviewed way back when the show was audio only. First up is Super Skidmarks, join us.

[AmigosGaming]

In the first of the Second Look episodes where Boat and Aaron take a look at a game they have reviewed before the show had a video version, the guys get to grips with Super Skidmarks.

Audio only version is found here: https://anchor.fm/amigospodcast

I remember this as a fun racer which featured some big jumps and little grip. Oh and it had Minis!

[AmigosGaming]

Saving the planet is something we should all be concerned with but did this 90s cartoon based game have what it takes to make a difference?

Audio version available here: https://anchor.fm/amigospodcast


This game came bundled with the very popular Cartoon Classics pack in the UK.

This is the pack I bought. For me, this was the least played game in the pack. It looked good but I couldn't figure it out and because it disappointed me on day 1 of Amiga ownership I never looked on it kindly.

Was this the pack you had and what did you think of this compared to the other games in the bundle?

[AmigosGaming]

How did Bullfrog improve Populous for its sequel? Join John and Aaron as they find out on the Amiga.

Plus the usual Amiga News roundup and can you guess this weeks supporter song?

[AmigosGaming]

Back to the PD library to check out a couple more titles. Let's hope Boat and Aaron picked a couple of quality titles for the Amiga this time round.

Anchor.FM has our audio only version: https://anchor.fm/amigospodcast

The Amiga's PD library is vast, did these titles cross your path?

[Dastardly]

I've listened to this podcast quite a lot and it's good, but I do get the impression sometimes that Boat doesn't even like the Amiga.

[AmigosGaming]

Boat and Aaron have their co-drivers ready for a bumpy trip across the world as they take part in Rally Championships on the Commodore Amiga. Do they reach the finishing line or will they crash out on a tricky chicane?

This is just a fancy way to introduce their review of the game: [ Show youtube player ]

Is this game unique on the Amiga? There weren't many rally games on the system and no others quite like this.

[AmigosGaming]

Is it a Frog? Is it a Pig? Who knows, who cares! It has a cool sub and likes to climb towers. What did Boat and Aaron think of Nebulus?

There is also the usual look at some of the week's Amiga News.
The Amigos band gets back together for this weeks supporter song, can you guess the tune?

As ever if you want audio only it is available here: https://anchor.fm/amigospodcast

[AmigosGaming]

Did the Carmen Sandiego series register outside of the US in the 80s? I have heard more about her in the past couple of years than I ever remember from back then.Back to Edutainment software on the Amiga and this time we go time hopping with Where In Time is Carmen Sandiego?

[AmigosGaming]

There's no hiding it, Boat and Aaron are not fans of Action Fighter on the Commodore Amiga.
Get their full reaction here: [ Show youtube player ]

The best part of the game seems to be the flying section, shame its such a struggle to get there.

[AmigosGaming]

Would be pirate Guybrush Threepwood's 2nd adventure has him search for the treasure of Big Whoop. Did Lucasarts get it right?

I wonder what led to this being a commercial failure?
