The box cover artwork for our Venom Wing Amiga game was painted by the late, great Oliver Frey. As a youngster, I was so proud to see the ad in one of my favorite game magazines at the time: Zzap 64. 🤩

Following Venom Wing in 1990, our next major project was an Amiga platform game called Hoi. I penned down preliminary ideas and sketches in a ruled notebook.

My 320 x 256 pixels intro picture for our 1992 Hoi platform game.

I initially made this in the Amiga's "Half-Brite" 64 colors mode, but the intro's 7-channel music took so much processing power that the image needed to be reduced to 16 colors, hence the harsh sky shades. 🥲

Our composer Ramon Braumuller's 7-channel intro track for the 1992 Hoi Amiga game, made in our own Digital Mugician Amiga music editor.

The Amiga only had 4-channel audio via a custom chip, the other 3 channels were added via CPU power.

A review of our 1992 Amiga platform game Hoi in the British The One magazine.

The US publisher of Hoi ripped us off, but reading a review with a 90% score in one of my favorite game magazines was cathartic.
