Reverse Engineering: Carmageddon for 68k-Amigas
A reverse engineering project brings the PC classic Carmageddon to the Classic Amiga. Thanks to Arcziii, who has already presented reverse engineerings of Red Alert and Wipeout, the martial racing game has been made executable on classic Amiga hardware. The adaptation is based on the original engine, has been engineered for the 68k architecture and requires the original Carmageddon game data, which can be obtained from the original game disc or from the gaming platform GOG (Good Old Games).
Carmageddon has been developed by Stainless Games and published by Interplay in 1997. The high-octane, controversial driving game, known for its uncompromising action and destruction, originally appeared for MS-DOS, Windows and Macintosh, and was later released for other platforms. (nba)

AMOS game with source code: Sybil - Halloween Defender
The game "Sybil: Halloween Defender" (video) is inspired by the classic game Defender. Here you control Sybil, a friendly witch who lives on the edge of the forest and is viewed with suspicion by the inhabitants of the nearby village. But every year on Halloween, when the barrier between the earthly and spirit worlds is at its thinnest and evil creatures emerge from the underworld, Sybil flies out on her enchanted broom with her spell book to keep them at bay.
The game is free and the available source code is intended as a learning aid for budding AMOS Basic Pro programmers to help them write more Amiga games.
