Modplayer: AmiModRadio 0.99991
AmiModRadio is "a program to automatically download, extract, and play modules from Aminet." Other websites like Haxor.fi, Modland and Modules.pl are supported as well. A rating function is also included. In the latest version a console bug was fixed. Besides: "Fixed/improved the code dealing with the players and updated the HTTP User-agent to make all HTTP sources work." If you want to report bugs then please use the official bugtracker. Any ideas for improving the program are welcome!

As the author Tygre told ue, his homepage is completely maintained using an Amiga 1200 being in his office at work. Due to COVID currently he cannot easily reset the Amiga if it has freezed so it may happen that the website is temporarily not available for quite some time. (dr) (Translation: dr)

Tetris clone: Crazy Columns (demo) (update)
Jochen Hoffer's 'Crazy Columns' is a clone of the classic Sega-Genesis game Columns for one or two players, which can be played with joystick or keyboard. Now a demo was released featuring only one of the three game modes and only one difficulty.


The game was written in assembler and runs in any Amiga equipped with at least 512 KB RAM. Still it is not clear when the full version of Crazy Columns will be available.

Download: CrazyColumnsDemo.adf (880 KB)

Update: (18.01.2021, 23:00, cg)

The demo has been updated: the game can now be paused, and the 'crazy fill' mode has been implemented. (cg) (Translation: dr)
