Can you have too many sound cards? No, you can't. 😎

I still love my #Amiga

The new video "Dragon's Lair on the Amiga - How a laserdisc game fit onto 6 floppy disks" at Modern Vintage Gamer takes an in-depth look at the technology behind the Amiga version of Dragon's Lair: How could a game that originally ran on a laserdisc with animated film sequences be compressed so that it fit onto just six 3.5" floppy disks?
Dirk Hoffmann has released version 4.4b1 of his Amiga emulator "vAmiga" for macOS. In this new version the Preferences window has received a visual overhaul, and the built-in screen recording has been removed in favor of RetroVisor.
Additionally two bugs were fixed:

The first batch is already sold out!
today's software preservation task
one of the great crimes of the 21st century was that Mark Jones' (Core Design) Darkmere - an isometric adventure-RPG for the amiga - was poorly visually documented by the usual places like lemonamiga/mobygames/etc.
perhaps for that reason alone, few remember just how incredible mark's pixel work is. using a tightly compressed palette of 16 colours for title screens and 32 colours in-game, he produces some of the best-lit scenes i have ever seen. all hand-dithered, no less.
it's one thing to paint beautiful pixel art stills for circulating on social media; it's entirely another to build them as modular assets to be used in a game. mark's ability to tackle both jobs is a masterwork.
thankfully, mark is his own best archivist, and kept a treasure trove of screenshots from the project. he provides an extensive commentary on the creation of each sprite/tile and the overall style of the game, as well as his memories of designing and building it.
(daggerfall fanatics may recognize some of the assets - trees and mushrooms - re-used in that game!)

One completely cleaned and lubed. And it's even working. 2 to go
"oh, it's quite yellowed. Might need to retrobright it". No, it's just very dirty. Only cleaned 1 half.
Oh my..... That's a lot of nicotine infused dust......
