I gave myself one week of my spare time to see what a game designer with 30 years of experience, but no coding skills, could build using AI. The result is Marble Marvell, an unofficial and non commercial, free tribute to Marble Madness. Made in admiration of @cerny, a personal idol, and Bob Flanagan, who made the original 42 years ago. Try it here: chilkus.itch.io/marble-marve… #GameDev #AIGameDev #GenerativeAI

Dragon Breed for arcade (Irem/1989). Horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game with a unique gameplay twist where you ride an invincible dragon while your human character remains vulnerable. The dragon features a charge shot similar to Irem's classic R-Type. Was popular and ported to many home computers back then, and also available on Irem Collection Volume 3 (Switch, PS4 and 5, Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One).

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Amiga 500 demos ever made! Hardwired (1991) is a landmark two-disk Amiga OCS/ECS trackmo by Crionics and The Silents, released 28 December 1991 at The Party 1991 in Denmark, where it took 2nd place in the Amiga demo competition! It is widely regarded as one of the greatest Amiga 500 demos ever made — often called the demo of 1991. It was voted Best Demo of 1991 in R.A.W. 2 (February 1992) and #1 best trackmo in The Charts 1 (February 1993). On Pouët it sits in the all-time top 50. Credits Code: Deftronic, Guzzler, Murphy, Saxs, The Spy (mostly Crionics) Graphics: Mikael Balle, Sionic, Zycho Music: Jesper Kyd (The Silents) What did you think of the demo?

Xenon for the Amiga (Bitmap Brothers/1988). Classic vertically scrolling shoot 'em up, player controls a craft that can transform between a ground-based vehicle and an aircraft. The Bitmap Brothers' first game, it stands out for its aesthetics and smooth 16-bit presentation, and for 1988 home standards, it was impressive, interesting and very playable.

Traps 'n' Treasures for the Amiga (Starbyte Software/1993). Charming and polished pirate-themed platform adventure with exploration, inventory, puzzles, etc. Goal is to rescue your imprisoned crew members. Was essentially created by a single person, Roman Werner, who coded and designed the game under the name Nightingale. It's a hidden gem and Amiga exclusive that showcases the indie, one-man passion project spirit that was so common on this platform.

Since everyone is at #gamescom2026… We’re not. And we don’t have the budget for a fancy trailer spot during the live show either. So… here’s our new Earth Atlantis 2 trailer anyway — featuring the latest gameplay footage! Please enjoy! Next stop: Tokyo Game Show 2026 — next month! #IndieGame #STG
