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.

Why is this news?

[Zedrick]

There are still commercial games being released for the C64 every year (+ smaller free games). I don't follow the Amiga-scene as closely as the C64, but surely it's the same there?

Not complaining about the Amiga getting some attention on slashdot, I just don't see why it's news.

News to me! Had no idea these platforms were still supported and if supporting a system that was 'obsolete' more than 20 years ago is not nerdy, then I'm handing my card in!

I think it's good to include some more light-hearted news items from time to time. Sam's Journey on the Commodore 64 is IMO newsworthy as well, it put a smile on my face just like Worthy. :-)

Retrogaming is still big. I would really love to see a new Amiga home computer which covers such games, maybe using SDL/AmigaOS4/PPC like A-Eon is working on (A1222/Tabor).

There were quite a few games back in the day where the game itself ran fine on A1200 (or A4000, accelerated amigas etc), but the copy protection scheme didn't and caused the game to crash. Cracked versions ran just fine, while legitimately purchased versions crashed.
