You asked for it! (well, some of you dd!) and now it is available in the store for $10 as a digital download.

On another note, I'm still working on the Amiga documentary.  I probably need another 2 weeks to finish it.  Well, part 1 anyway.   I have the first 10 minutes fully edited.  I'd like to connect with some Amiga history experts to help validate some of this information before the final video is complete. So if you feel you're an expert on the topic, especially the Amiga 1000, let me know.   If I got something wrong, I'd rather people complain about it now, than after the video is finished.

I also thought of a really neat project I want to undertake after the Amiga documentary is done. I'm already putting my ducks in a row for this.  Basically, I'm going to collaborate with my brother and we're going to build a custom Petscii Robots arcade machine.  This will be a full sized arcade and I've already got a local arcade here in town, known as Freeplay, who said I could setup the machine along side their vintage arcades.   I think people will find it interesting building the machine. I plan to use a real CRT driven by an Amiga 500 motherboard.  So it should feel very authentic next to all of the older arcade machines.  There are also a number of design changes we'll need to do to the game  to make it more arcade friendly, which I think everyone will find interesting.

I'm not sure I'm an expert, but I used the A1000 a few times new, and owned and programmed an A500 extensively. In fact, I wrote the Hebrew support for AmigaDos. I actually still have the Amiga ROM Kernel books.

Reach out to the nostalgia nerd he did an amiga documentary a few years back and it was very concise but brief as he had compressed it into a 40min video covering the amiga in the 80s

Do you know if the PSP version will run on a Vita? A lot of PSP games are cross platform in that manner. I also assume it's still $10, or since I've already bought it for the C64 does that matter?

I keep hoping at some point there will be a 'All the digital versions' bundle for like $50 or something like that, just to be able to play with them and compare them.

I'm not sure. I should think it would work. But I guess we'll have to wait for somebody to try it to be sure.

Well, I've wanted to do that for a while. The trouble is, I'm not sure how to handle the issue that more and more systems are still being worked on. Each of those has to be funded with its own sales. And I'd hate to sell somebody a $50 bundle today, and 6 months from now have to sell them another one because 4 new ports became available. So I'm sort of holding out until most development on new ports has stopped or at least slowed.

Perhaps you need a frequent buyer card. Get 10 punches for PETSCII Robots purchases, and 1 PETSCII Robots digital version free! {insert laugh track here}

Lennart Sorensen

I definitely agree with waiting until things settle down before doing such a thing and you know the state of things. Certainly would not involve boxes or media at least (at least in my opinion).

Love the idea David! Which DFW Free Play location are you planning on placing it?

Are you going to do a Windows/Mac/Linux port on Steam? It should be fairly doable with something like SDL.

CubicleNate

I am totally in favor of that. Though, I do enjoy PETSCII robots on TheC64 Maxi. I feel like it is a good fit. :)

Hope it's the Richardson location, that's the closest one to me, lol
