`21.Mar.2006` Ph. Bourdin (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: SimCoupe emulates "Sam Coupe" Ventzislav "drHirudo" Tzvetkov has ported the emulator SimCoupe, which is based on SDL for the AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). SimCoupe emulates the "SAM Coupé" - an 8 bit home computer which is Z80 based and which was built in 1989 by Miles Gordon Technology. Although it had pretty advanced skills, compared with other 8 bit computers of that time, it had little success since the 16 bit computers (Amiga, Atari, Macintosh and PC) have already been standard. Nevertheless some nice software titles were published for this PC, which demonstrate the unique sound skills and graphics skills.
