It's time to check out Switchblade on the Amiga! The game certainly launched with a good reception but how does it hold out today?

Check out the full review here: [ Show youtube player ]
Audio only version is here: https://anchor.fm/amigospodcast

There is also a bumper load of Amiga news including the launch of AmigaOS 3.2!

What do you think of the new OS? Which features are the most worthwhile and more importantly, will you be upgrading? Let us know in the YouYube comments.

One of the most well known Sim games was of course available on the Amiga. How did it stack up against other versions?

Too posh to have your refreshments delivered by road? Then get them by air. It's Alco Copter for the Amiga. A game anyone can play, its free.

See the full episode here, were the controls botched? : [ Show youtube player ]

Is this the most accessible flight sim the Amiga ever had? Gunship 2000 is reviewed by the Amigos & the OCS,CD32 and DOS versions are compared.

Spent many hours with this one, it is in the top 10 most played Amiga games for me.

Delve into the exciting world of international shipping with Ports Of Call on the Amiga. Does it deliver on its promises or should all copies be thrown overboard?

Step back in time with a retro racing game on a retro gaming system. This is an interesting one, not the slickest of racers but it does have some lite sim elements. See what you think.

See the full episode here: [ Show youtube player ]

If you are looking for a Lotus style racer then look elsewhere but this mild garage sim could provide you with a few hours of under the hood tinkering.
John and Aaron are together on a regular show for the first time in over a year.
