a Customer Success Manager's Notes to Self
Cooperative knights, unlikely ports and new adventures for classic machines. Alterego Finds #002 brings together 41 discoveries spanning homebrew games, practical tools, hardware projects and forgotten gems, because the past still has plenty left to play.
One Amiga, one screen, fewer cables to negotiate. RGB2RTG brings native games and demos to the same HDMI display as your RTG desktop, giving a PiStorm-equipped Amiga 1200 another useful trick, with a few experimental wrinkles still to iron out.
Lemmings invade modern Macs, classic games get fresh engines, and vintage computers refuse to retire. Alterego Finds #001 rounds up retro revivals, clever tools and new hardware, with enough floppy disks to postpone tidying up indefinitely.
The web moved on, but your Amiga can still come along. AmiFox lets a modern browser do the heavy lifting elsewhere, bringing contemporary websites, useful downloads and a little everyday convenience back to the machine you actually wanted to use.
That Commodore 64 game you always wanted to make might finally have a starting point. C64 Dev Machine combines visual programming, graphics editors and music tools in one workspace, offering an approachable way to explore assembly language and turn an old idea into something playable.
A grey window, a button and an idea: sometimes that is enough to lose an evening in the best possible way. VB6 Studio Web brings the familiar pleasures of Visual Basic into your browser, inviting returning tinkerers and curious newcomers to make something small, useful and entirely their own.
GentleOS/16 and GentleOS/32 give vintage PCs a fresh reason to boot, with lightweight interfaces, classic games, simple utilities and an open-source spirit built for retro hardware enthusiasts.
Three tools make Commodore collections easier to navigate. Master Bookmark Computer finds useful resources, D64 Hunter searches archived files, and D64 Cataloger indexes your local collection.
Kyvos brings order to QEMU-powered Amiga emulation, offering a friendly GUI, guided setup and extensive documentation for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS virtual machines.
AmiBlocks and AmiCC23 bring modern C development back to AmigaOS, combining coding, compiling and debugging in one native environment and making the Amiga a development machine again.
The Amiga never really died – it fractured into many futures. From Commodore’s collapse to today’s emulators, FPGA projects, PowerPC systems, and Apollo Vampire machines, this article follows the strange afterlife of a beloved platform and the community still trying to move it forward.
Do you remember Commodore? And the Amiga?
