Oh and look, he is a big Seattle Thunderbirds fan it looks like. Ah the heady days of Amiga saying they had millions to spend on sports arenas! LOL!

@thread

the settlement said something like:

Amiga Inc. could use the name Amiga for something game related ... maybe they try to restart their last products again:

Just a riminder: "Linux+UAE+Amiga game"

Just another reminder: "They" doesn't means the old Amiga Inc. maybe someone else has bought some rights or git some licences.

@Arko
they don't need linux, they can use AOS1.0->3.1 kernels to release joystick type TV games (you know, those joysticks with video outs, they could fit an FPGA there or something).
However they cannot commercialize retro Amiga systems that boot into any version of AmigaOS (the interface and os itself must stay hidden from user, only the minimum barebone can be used to boot directly into the game).

But joysticks based on Amiga would be too expensive, what HW could they use? (they generally sell for 50 or 60 bucks, there's no way you can make an Amiga compatible HW for that price).

I am sure something like the minimig would be quite cheap if produced in large enough quantities.

What does it matter that he is American? There are overweight people all over the world. And there are likely millions of Americans more fit than most of us on this board, no matter where we are from.
