Battle Squadron stands as one of the most iconic shoot ’em ups on the Amiga, a game that blended fast-paced action with impeccable visuals and sound.

In Commodore Amiga: A Visual Compendium, this gem of a title takes center stage as a shining example of the era’s dedication to innovative design and immersive experiences. Players are thrust into a high-stakes battle against alien forces, wielding powerful weapons and facing relentless waves of enemies. Its cooperative gameplay feature allows two players to team up, enhancing the thrill and camaraderie as they work together to take down foes in a race against time. The fluid animations, detailed graphics, and heart-pounding soundtrack combine to make Battle Squadron a standout in the Amiga library, leaving a lasting impact on players and the genre alike.

Retro Game Days 2023

Pure retro nostalgia was to be found at this year Retro Game Days held at Vejle Bibliotekerne in Denmark. If you were a youngster or part of the older segment of the population the event was sure to match you up with a cool retrogame from the past.

The Retro Game Days 2023 event also had several speakers including myself to talk on how to go about game development and later on a panel discussion on the past and future challengers in game development viewed within a social and economic context.
