About seven months ago, at one of the most memorable events in the recent history of the Amiga -the Amiga 40th in Mönchengladbach, Germany- I listened to one of the most iconic and energetic presentations of the entire gathering. The speaker was none other than Trevor Dickinson, with whom I would later have the privilege […]
The MEGA65 was born as an homage to the Commodore 65, but it quickly stopped being an archaeological curiosity and became a retro‑modern computer with ambitions of its own. At the center of that hybrid identity lies the VIC‑IV, a graphics chip that not only completes the circle the VIC‑III left open in the early […]
There are times when the bursts of information don’t let us read carefully all the things happening in the retro world, especially when the news comes from Argentina.

¿Qué es lo que hace que un Amiga sea un Amiga y no otra plataforma? Y sobre todo… ¿qué es lo que hace al Amiga ser algo tan especial y extraordinario? Si nos hiciéramos esta misma pregunta hace más de 30 años la respuesta, posiblemente, sea inequívoca entre los usuarios de esa plataforma. No pretendo […]
What is it that makes an Amiga an Amiga and not just another platform? And above all… what is it that makes the Amiga something so special and extraordinary? If we had asked ourselves this same question more than 30 years ago, the answer would likely have been unequivocal among the users of that platform. […]

Introduction: the native SCUMM Interpreter redefining the limits of the point‑and‑click genre on the platform We are living in a technically fascinating era for retro computing and gaming. A multiverse where the retro coexists with the modern -and, at the same time-, reinterprets it. It lives it with new energy. It enriches it with history, […]
No puedo explicar con palabras sencillas la mezcla de satisfacción, entusiasmo y alivio que siento al publicar este artículo en este momento; un trabajo que considero una pieza histórica y fundamental en la historia moderna del Amiga.
