Hullo!

I host a weekly Amiga gaming podcast which broadcasts a new show every Sunday. Currently up to our 54th episode:

https://amigarama.com/

The latest episode is all about everyone's fav racer I'm sure... Micro Machines!

https://amigarama.com/episodes/amigarama-podcast-episode-54-micro-machines/

It's a game that doesn't get the love it deserves and I've tried my best to dig into it's history and give a good review. I do gameplay footage as well so well worth checking the site out if normal podcasts aren't your thing

@Lorfarius

Thanks for this. I guess the lack of love stems from the fact that Micro Machines 2 is considered the best version and only the MegaDrive got it despite all the graphics being done on Deluxe Paint!

I think at this point CM were pushingmainly onto console releases, real shame because the Amiga could have easily done it. Would have made for some excellent multiplayer fun as well.

@Lorfarius

Nice podcast. I listened to #6, the Dungeon Master episode, which was one of my favorite games back in that era. I wonder if the lack of music was due to the fact that it was a port from the Atari ST, which had much different sound hardware than the Amiga.

Thanks, glad you are enjoying it The earlier episodes aren't as packed with info as the later ones because I was just starting out. I think in time I will probably make a return to some of them. It's a shame there's no music as the Amiga was more than capable of doing something.
