It was once again an amazing month for the MisterFPGA. I'll just add that if you want 24-bit color on a CRT, you can also use the PWM cores. They work pretty much flawlessly and don't require any new hardware. Additionally, the in-progress cores are getting updated regularly with these PWM versions. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy the new Analog board if you have the cash for it, since PWM, due to possible "instability reasons," will never be pushed into MisterMain, but it's a very good free alternative that exists.

another vote for more Amiga content Amiga is one of the main reasons i got into FPGA in the first place. It was down to going for a Vampire, a MiniMig, or Mister, and i found mister to be much more flexible even thouhg it did not have the performance of the vampire. there are still a bunch of bugs i am trying to work out of my Amiga setups but for the most part things work. Basically the biggest obstacles i have seen in the Amiga core is the lack of FPU and the difficult handling of large PFS3 volumes.

I’ll try and do more Amiga content soon!

I never owned an Amiga, but my older brother did. I watched him play Dungeon Master for many hours. Not a very console-like experience, but a cool one none the less. I'd also be interested to hear more must-play Amiga games. It's a platform that I think would be fun to get into.

Lots of Amiga games I could recommend, but as a starting point I'd recommend Wizkid, it’s a unique game (even if it's technically a sequel to Wizball, the game play elements are pretty different) with a quirky sense of humour. I think you'll enjoy it even if you don’t like the gameplay, just because it's so different.

One thing to make the game go smoother, if you get to the shop with 5 stars and enough money for an extra star, if you buy the extra star you'll get more money. You can repeat this multiple times to rack up the money you have. Knowing this takes helps streamline the gameplay.

@@VideoGameEsoterica It Came From The Desert is a good one. I used to read the Amiga reviews all the time as a teen in the UK. I thought of it as very similar to the Megadrive. When I could actually test the games, I saw that it had great potential like the Megadrive but for whatever reason many of the games are very jerky and poorly made. That potential is only being explored now.
