VIRTUAL GRAND PRIX AND THUNDERHELL GAMES BUNDLED ON THE A600GS
Cardiff, 4 August 2024
Famous Amiga games developer, Paolo Cattani has provided his classic Amiga games to be pre-installed on the new A600GS computer.
Virtual GP and Thunderhell are installed ready to play on the A600GS. Existing A600GS users can download a free update directly from Amisphere.com to install the games to the games menu.
Virtual GP was sadly Paolo's last production for the Amiga range of computers shortly after Commodore's bankruptcy. He wanted to to contribute to the Amiga games scene so started the development of Virtual GP (codename AlienF1). VGP would have to accomplish two missions: on the one hand, it would implement a fast 3D engine aimed at hi-specification Amigas (AGA and 68030 required) featuring gouraud shading, texture mapping, billboarding, curved surfaces and all the things that were “hot” at those times; on the other hand, it had to be the most realistic simulation of a Formula One car available on the Amiga.
Thunderhell is a classic shoot-em-up game. The game is an horizontal scrolling (with three levels of parallax), fast paced shoot’em up full of enemies, bullets, explosions and all the bells and whistles that one could expect from a game of that genre.
Matthew Leaman, MD of AmigaKit Ltd commented on the collaboration: “We are thrilled that Paolo has agreed to include his great games with the A600GS. We are grateful for his support of our project.”
Paolo Cattani added: “As a pioneer in the development of video games for the Amiga range of computers I'm very glad and honoured to give my contribution to an amazing project which keeps alive the memory of a machine that was such a glorious milestone of the IT history.”
The A600GS computer system is available now from AmigaKit.com and AmigaKit.fr
