Why losing the Commodore Amiga felt like a 30-year phantom limb—from Jack Tramiel's MOS Tech coup & the 1984 Atari switcheroo to TRIPOS, ARexx, CygnusEd, and how Amiga-born Vim & NixOS reattach the nerve endings.

After 37 years, veteran game programmer Colin Porch has completed and released a sequel to the classic 1987 game Head Over Heels.
The project started in 1989 but was shelved when the gaming industry shifted from home computers to consoles.
The new game, titled Return to Blacktooth, continues the legacy of the original cult classic, famous for its unique isometric design. Porch had worked on popular versions of the original and kept the sequel idea alive for decades.
The project revived after Porch reunited with former colleagues from Ocean Software. Inspired by the resurgence of retro gaming, he completed the unfinished game as a passion project.
Published by Thalamus Digital, it has launched for the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. It features hundreds of rooms across multiple worlds while staying true to the original's style and gameplay.
Abigail Adams writes to husband John Adams of the war effort, “If it is necessary to make any more drafts upon us, the women must reap the harvest. I am willing to do my part”
