EGO-Shooter for non upgraded AGA-Amigas: Amishion Impossible
Amishion Impossible (video) was developed during a programming competetion: At the "itch.io 2018 Seven Day First Person Shooter Jam" you had to develop an ego shooter within seven days. The game runs on a non upgraged AGA computer but requires that much chip RAM that probably you have to boot without startup-sequence before starting the game.
