Amigan Software Website

Minuous · 17 October 2001, 06:03

No-one seems to have done a review of the Amigan Software website yet, so here goes...

What we have here is the official site of Amigan Software, a non-profit Amiga programming organization. Latest versions of their software Worm Wars and Report+, electronic versions of several important Amiga programming books (including rare RKMs), various other goodies, floppy and hard disk versions of several Amiga games, other rare software for various retrocomputers, and an excellent and comprehensive links section.

I've got a feeling that link will be gone before long. And I reckon your message is really spam. Even if it is worthy.

Maybe it's talking about your site in the third person that annoyed me though.

Minuous · 17 October 2001, 06:20

The site has been online constantly for over 2 years now, with *zero* downtime. So your comment seems rather bizarre.

I also fail to see what is annoying.

I emailed the webmaster of the site and invited him to come check out EAB. I actually find it to be a very useful site, have been going there on and off for a while (and noticed that, unlike so many other sites, it's still there and updated frequently).

So if anyone, blame me. I just found the site useful and though it would be more productive if we had another member here that has a good site and seems to be motivated enough to keep his updated with loads of good resources. I think I might have said something about what a nice group everyone is here, too...

17 October 2001, 07:39

I think there's nothing wrong with what Minuous has done. I've seen (on many different forums) people advertising their website. There's nothing wrong with that.

I too have visited this site numerous times before (cause of Worm Wars

), and I just went back there after seeing the URL listed above and I think it's great. The links section is huge. It's definately a valuable resource

Minuous and Twistin. You guys have done nothing wrong.
Birdy. Don't be so touchy about it.

RetroMan · 17 October 2001, 09:38

I completely agree with Amigaboy .... the site is very usefull with a nice link-list

I visit the site often to see what´s new (Worm Wars

) keep up the good work @Minuous ....

Minuous · 17 October 2001, 15:21

Thanks. It's nice to know that the site and programs are appreciated, it does motivate me to continue it further. :-D Which is good for all of us.

I wonder if anyone uses the Worm Wars fieldset editor to make their own fieldsets, or do they just play it using the 50 fields that come with the game? If anyone has made some of their own fieldsets, feel free to contribute them, so others can enjoy them.

And of course any suggestions etc. on how to improve Worm Wars or Report+, or the site itself, are welcomed.

I haven't mucked around with Worm Wars for years now, but I did notice there's a PC version, so I might try it out when I have time

btw - Long live Australian Developers! WOO!

Minuous · 17 October 2001, 15:50

The Windows version is not quite as good, the latest version is 6.7a, which means you miss out on the 6.7b, 6.8 and 6.81 improvements. Which are, off the top of my head, a new creature species, miscellaneous bugfixes, and some other minor things. And it doesn't have the fieldset editor either. It's still a good game, just not quite *as* good. The Windows version generally is a version or two behind the Amiga version.

17 October 2001, 15:54

Oh well. It's just that my Amiga isn't exactly operational right now, and I refuse to emulate, so I have to use the PC version.

I guess it'll do....For now

Minuous · 17 October 2001, 16:00

You refuse to emulate?? Why!?

I emulate all sorts of things, way back to the TRS-80 :-)

You have a nice website, the huge collection of Amiga scene related links is great.

about improvements, you may stucture more your sections ?
(one menu to access the different links areas would be cool)

ho, and yes, too much icons "made with Amiga" IMO

Ian · 18 October 2001, 02:17

Hmm, some of your links no worky

Like the one for RCK Power, which brings me to my next point, was this your site RCK and wheres it gone?

RCK · 18 October 2001, 03:37
