Bagman500, Amiga

Bagman is an Arcade game released by Valadon Automation in 1982.
The objective of the game is to manoeuvre the bagman through various mine shafts, picking up money bags and placing them in a wheelbarrow at the surface of the mine. The player must avoid pursuing guards, moving ore carts, and descending elevators. The player may temporarily stun the guards by striking them with a pickaxe or by dropping money bags on them when they are below the player on the same ladder. The player may move between the three screens which make up the level via shafts and on the surface. Bagman500 is a very excellent remake by JOTD for your Amiga computer.

Working the Night/Shift - A New 'CypherPunk' Adventure for AGA Amiga

Boston, 2039.  Amid concerns over personal privacy and economic freedom, a young 'Cyberpunk' finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that will shake the very foundations of global society. 

I've just finished playing through the whole of Night/Shift (not to be confused with Lucasfilm's Night Shift!), a free Hi-Res HAM8 graphic adventure game from Eclectic Imaginations released in June of this year. It's been quite the experience, one that was relatively short (two hours) and ultimately enjoyable, but recommending this game comes with a caveat that I'll discuss shortly.

Stinger by Fabrizio Caruso, Commodore 16

Fabrizio Caruso shared some News today on our C16/Plus/4 Facebook group about a new game that has just been released titled Stinger. This is the eighth homebrew game he has written with Cross-Lib. Stinger is a simple Shoot 'em-up with power-ups, 6 different levels, 5 different enemies and several items to choose from. Screenshots are from the Commodore 16 version, but Fabrizio has ported the game over to pretty much every computer gaming platform.
