Amigatronics: Interview with Petro Tyschtschenko |
| News posted by amigatronics on 3-Jan-2026 12:51:52 (508 reads) |
Step back into the history — and the present — of the Amiga world with this in-depth interview with Petro Tyschtschenko, one of the key figures behind Commodore and Amiga Technologies.
From the golden years of Commodore in the 1980s to the fall of the company in 1994, Petro shares first-hand memories of one of the most important eras in computing history. We talk about the rebirth of the Amiga under Escom, the development of the Amiga Walker, the famous Amiga 1200 NOS stock story, and the many challenges faced along the way.
But this interview doesn’t stay in the past. Petro also reflects on the current state of the Amiga community, new hardware and operating systems, and how the platform has survived thanks to the passion of its users. We also explore his present-day work and what Amiga continues to mean to him on a personal level.
Whether you’re an Amiga veteran or discovering this legendary computer for the first time, this conversation is full of stories, insight, and history from someone who lived it all from the inside.

Reminder: ASM Magazine Issue 2025 Published |
| News posted by AndreasM on 3-Jan-2026 11:37:11 (377 reads) |
New German Issue 9/25 of the cult magazine ASM "Aktueller Software Markt" Now Available
The legendary German computer and games magazine ASM - Aktueller Software Markt is back with a new issue. What made history in the 1980s and 1990s as the first German-language multi-format games magazine lives on today – with a mix of retro topics, current game reviews, and exclusive interviews.
The new issue once again spans the spectrum from "re-testing" classics to current titles for all popular and exotic systems of the time. Returning are the familiar sections such as "Action Games" and "Adventure Corner," as well as new sections such as "Book Corner" and "In Focus," which offer previews of upcoming hits. It also features interviews with contemporary witnesses such as Stefan Piasecki, programmers such as Andreas Mettler, and cult figures such as Zak McKracken. This time, the hardware retro section focuses on the Game Boy, while in the chess section, Psion Chess ST competes against the legendary Amiga chess game Battle Chess, and in the horror cabinet, a Stone Age creation lurks.
The new issue, featuring 100 pages, includes 70 game reviews in the original, chaotic ASM layout. Anyone looking for a truly retro experience can order the magazine for the usual price of €8 from:

Dr. Dangerous – The Download version of the popular action game is here |
| software Classic posted by AndreasM on 12-Dec-2025 13:22:26 (404 reads) |
Dr. Dangerous – The Download version of the popular action game is here
We are pleased to announce the release of the Download-Version.
A download version of Dr. Dangerous is now available in our online shop. And of course, Phantom Leap as well.
Original announcement regarding the boxed version:
The revised version of the floppy disk edition offers, among other things, new difficulty levels – Easy, Medium, and Hard – with adapted game mechanics for more variety. For the first time, checkpoints can be set at any time in Easy mode, making the game more accessible and convenient. At the same time, the classic appeal for pros is fully preserved in Hard mode.
Four brand-new levels expand the adventure and provide additional fun. The music has also been reworked: none other than Barry Leitch (known for his work on Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others) and ZEKAVEO, who already made a name for himself with the soundtrack to the Android game The Mystical Quest, are responsible for the new soundscape, giving the game a dense, atmospheric soundscape.
Minor visual adjustments have been made to make certain sections more coherent, and loading times have also been significantly improved.
Another highlight is the multilingual localization: In addition to English, the game is now also available in German, French, and Spanish.
The boxed version also features a new title screen, a retro-style printed manual, and other thoughtful details that make the physical release a special experience.

AROS One v2.9 ABIv0 32Bit
After 8 months, a new version of AROS One ABIv0 32Bit is available for download.
This version has not undergone many changes in the Core, given the commitment to transition to 64Bit.
Nevertheless, there have been third-party software updates and many new features in the Operating System configurations.
Given that in the previous version of AROS One 2.8 there were some inaccuracies in the configurations and in the installed software, I strongly recommend installing AROS One 2.9 from scratch, naturally after first backing up your personal data.
As always, both the ISO version and the USB version are available to write directly to a USB stick of at least 8GB.
Important:
GRUB includes numerous options, the last one, “Safe Mode”, should be compatible with most PCs manufactured up to around 2010. For those that do not start in the other modes, you can try the “noacpi” solution to be added in “grub.cfg” after the entry “ATA=32bit nomonitors”, for example:
multiboot /Arch/pc/bootstrap.gz vesa=16bit ATA=32bit nomonitors noacpi
If you encounter any problems or bugs, please report them in this forum or on arosworld.org, where you can also get more information from the developers.
