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? Last edited by jrom; 24 March 2004 at 12:23. |

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Hes got an unpublished game/demo too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. |

You'd most likely end up with a Guru Medication

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. |

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! http://www.nemmelheim.de/graftgold/index.html http://www.nemmelheim.de/classicgames/index.html Nice site! |
