New Commercial Amiga 500 Game Released

Mike Bouma writes: Pixelglass, known for their "Giana Sisters SE" game, has released a worthy new game for the Amiga 500, called "Worthy." Here's a description of this cute action puzzler: "Assume the role of a fearless boy and collect the required number of diamonds in each stage in order to win the girl's heart! Travel from maze to maze, kill the baddies, avoid the traps, collect beers (your necessary 'fuel' to keep you going), find the diamonds, prove to her you're WORTHY!" Time to dust off that classic Amiga or alternatively download a digital copy and use an UAE emulator for your platform of choice. Have a look at the release trailer.

Quite a few commercial games actually

[Anonymous Coward]

There have been quite a few commercial titles for the Amiga in the last few years actually, shipped on floppy disks in a fancy box with user manual just like back in the day.

Not published by the giants like Psygnosis and DMA Design, but individuals and smaller publishers, but nonetheless there are still a few handfuls of newly made games published since 2010.

Of all the old dead computers, the Amiga is remarkably alive. There's even new hardware being made for it even today.

Re:Why is this news?

From following many 8-bit retro computers i'd say C64 and Amiga are the two most active. About the same level in terms of new software releases. As for new hardware though Amiga has a lot more out and coming out than C64. For many hear on /. we have had Amigas (and C64's incidentally) growing up so news like this is fantastic. Gets me more excited to buy/donate/take part in such a project because it brings back great memories. I wouldn't have known about this release if it wasnt posted here. So at least for me, this post helped.

Your comment is irrelevant. The fake Silvia Bunge posts will be reported to UC-Berkeley regardless of anything you say or do. Frankly, I don't care who's making those posts. That's for UC-Berkeley and the real Silvia Bunge to deal with. I just want to stop having just about every comment section on Slashdot polluted by this nonsense.

Good luck with that. You can get away with correcting typos, but changing anything more significant than that is damn near impossible and not worth the hassle. Too many users, with too much free time, have too much of their ego wrapped up in 'their' articles.
