From: Behind dikes, on seabottom. Netherlands, that is. More exact: Flevoland.

If this is chapter 8, then where is chapter 7? At the end of page 4 of this chapter 8 is a link to chapters 1 - 6, but not to 7. Or am I overseeing something?

It seems to me that this article is regarding Amiga Hardware attitude for game making, and the skills of the Amiga Coders of the Golden Age.

It is not related with the history of Amiga retrospective series of articles.

It does NOT even share the numbering sequence of the retrospective issues into the title.

Maybe just for the fact that It appears the sequence of articles on Amiga history in the end, as a reference, people could believe that this article too belongs to the same series of articles.

But it is an article of its own and just related to the "retrospective history" due to the "Amiga" name as "others" with the same topic.

Please, change title to the news.

[EDIT]

Jeremy Reimer gives the link to newly arrived Article Chapter 7 by announcing in the comments corner that is ready for be viewed but not yet listed with the others.
