In the aftermath of my Teletext experiments on Amiga – which I totally believed to be a world’s first breakthrough – blog reader Martin contacted me to tell me about his own Teletext experiments back in 1992, with a working solution in 1994, making his setup probably the real world’s first Teletext output directly from the Amiga!

Haven’t tested it yet myself.

The Amiga is a real blind spot for me, but it’s home to a lot of shmups that have major cult followings. Glad to see the original devs supporting the fan-sequel in this way.

“The Amiga I made Worms on is all recapped and working again,” he says on social media. “Everything is also finally backed up.”

“So looks like I’ll be getting back into games development,” adds Davidson, before saying that he has plans to expand the iconic Director’s Cut of the game. “I have a Worms DC update to finish… will be an update to that which makes it feature-complete and adds some other stuff as well.”

We’re sad to report that Team17 co-founder Martyn Brown has passed away. He was 57.

Brown helped establish the veteran British publisher in 1990 following the merger of 17-Bit Software and Swedish developer Team 7. Brown led Team17 alongside Michael Robinson, Debbie Bestwick, Andreas Tadic, Rico Holmes and Peter Tuleby.

He oversaw the company’s glory years as a developer, producing Amiga hits such as Alien Breed, Body Blows, Superfrog, Project X and Worms – the latter of which is arguably Team17’s most famous IP.

You can certainly tell that Halloween is approaching as more and more creepy games with pumpkins, ghouls and ghosts start to appear for your gaming enjoyment. One such game by the developer 8080 certainly has that ghostly appeal! As they have announced that not only is ‘Halloween X’ a finished game ready to be played to competition, but there’s also a new demo for you to try. A game in which you have fallen into a monster filled dungeon, and must find 3 golden keys to escape.

Over on the English Amiga Board, Amiga developers Raster Wizards have previewed their work-in-progress game Hyper Runner, which they describe as “some sort of mix between F-Zero and OutRun”, which are lofty aspirations indeed, and while the humble Amiga might lack the technical heft to pull off the Mode 7 slickness of the SNES classic F-Zero, even when using the enhanced AGA chipset, the footage of the latest build of Hyper Runner serves as a reminder that the Amiga is certainly is more than capable of producing slick, enjoyable arcade-style racers, such as the beloved Lotus Espirit Challenge series and Jaguar XJ220, on both of which this writer whiled away many a happy hour as a teenager.
