I couldn't wait. Imported mine. I adore it. Just need to get my Kempston Joystick working. Hoping the new firmware adds support for the Atari to USB adapter I use for my PC. Good list of lesser known games. Loved Rodlands, and Rainbow Islands is an absolute classic. I would suggest checking out the lesser know masterpiece Projectyle, 3 player cyber-air-hockey!

Great to see Rod Land getting some love! One of my favourite games from when I was a kid and it still holds up really well today. I'll have to see about checking out some of the other games on the list!

Hi there.) If you want Gloom Deluxe, just say so:) Otherwise, great choice, Gods has a great atmosphere that maybe the music would kill. And I love Leander, he has great music on the other hand.

BTW, don't update the firmware, hacks doesn't work.

I wonder if Flink works fine at Amiga 500 Mini - it's one of the most beautiful game on Amiga platform but due to complex graphics running this on most emulators cause high response latency and errors in sound. There is a lot of hidden gems for the Amiga such as totally unknown titles like Spherical Worlds, Jimmy's Fantastic Journey and Odyssey.

Might be worth while taking a journey through PD / Shareware land on the Miggy ?
