Goofed around in Turrican II a bit for #AMayGA 
Happy #aMAYga π Introducing the newest addition to my vintage computer collection!
I picked up this A500 today from a local seller (much more reasonably priced than eBay) who bought it new around 35 years ago. It comes with the mouse as well as a second disk drive and the famous 1084 monitor. I also got a box with a ton of floppy disks for it thrown in (not pictured). It's a little bit yellowed but otherwise seems to be in pretty good shape. Powers up to the insert disk screen and I was able to get a few floppies to boot as well.
I'm super excited because unlike Macs and PCs of the era, I know next to nothing about Amigas, and this is only my second time actually using one. But I know they were great for gaming and multimedia/AV applications so getting one has been a bucket list item for some time - and I've heard that the A500 in particular has a lot of modern QoL upgrades available which I'm excited to check out.
Climate Change, a Marriage Proposal and the least useful game preview of all time. It's #AMayga and we join a magazine before its prime and a developer just reaching theirs. Plus a robotic insect named after a plant.
Sarah Jane Avory, creator of #ZetaWing2 on the #C64, starts with thoughts of bringing the game to the Amiga platform.
After some deliberation, she decides to make it unique to Amiga instead.
"...and no, I won't be attempting to create any #Amiga music! I'd love to give it a go, but that's perhaps best left to others..."
"#SuperZetaWing progress: been working on a bit of parallax scrolling for stage 1, so here's what I have.π"
