Someone ported my 1995 PC game Speed Haste to the Amiga (indieretronews.com)

I don't know if anyone will find it interesting here, but I'm speechless and I had to publish it. I don't know what to say, except I'm happy I released the source code on github years ago.

The original game was very much an indie/bedroom game, I programmed it over 12 months while I was studying and working a part-time job. But thanks to the efforts of our published Friendware it got released all over the world. I had published 2 commercial games in the 80s but then I shifted towards a more "normal software" direction via college and working at a bank, but the demoscene and the shareware world got me back into games, where I stay to this day.


Intriguing. I would like to see how the game fares on original Amiga hardware (040/AGA) because emulation doesn't really do justice with 3D games.

Thank you for doing this!
