`17.Nov.2025`	Music tip: New LukHash track "Galaxy" LukHash is a musician based in Edinburgh, Scotland. He describes his music as "fusion of digital 8-bit chaos and 80s-inspired synthesiser music, combined with modern sounds and cyberpunk aesthetics" (amiga-news.de reported). His new track "Galaxy" was, as he tells us on request, mainly created with soft synths, although he used a real Amiga for the synth chord section in the bridge. The inspiration came from his childhood memories and that bittersweet longing for times we can never fully return to. With this song, he wanted to capture the essence of nostalgia for the late 90s and early 2000s. He himself was born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s and started the 2000s still surrounded by "all this wonderful tech". That's why a lot from that era found its way into the track. A video he created visually depicts exactly what he had in mind when composing the song. (dr) [News message: 17. Nov. 2025, 05:55] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`11.Nov.2025`	Feature: What happened to Transmeta, the last big dotcom IPO In a new background article, US technology journalist David L. Farquhar provides an in-depth analysis of the history and significance of Transmeta - a company that is considered the "last major dotcom IPO" with its initial public offering on 7 November 2000 (raising approximately USD 273 million). Amiga fans will remember that Transmeta was touted as the CPU supplier for the Amiga MCC planned by Gateway 2000. Farquhar shows how Transmeta originally competed with Intel with innovative ("Crusoe") CPUs, but failed due to poor performance and growing competition. In 2005, the company made a strategic shift to an IP licensing model and was ultimately acquired by Novafora in 2009. In addition, the article classifies Transmeta's fate as part of the end of the speculative bubble in the tech sector. (nba) [News message: 11.

`11.Nov.2025`	Amiga Games That Weren't: Tinhead A new post about Tinhead has appeared on the Games That Weren't platform – a game by Imagitec Design that was released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1993. According to the post, versions for SNES, Atari Jaguar and Amiga were planned, but never made it to market. According to Frank Gasking's article, development material for an Amiga port has now been secured for the first time. Internal documents from the project manager provide evidence that the Amiga project was created at a much earlier stage than previously assumed. Included are early handouts, unpublished screenshots and clear evidence that an Amiga version was actively planned but never released. (nba) [News message: 11.
