Moon Cresta is a free fan-made recreation for the Commodore Amiga, built entirely from scratch by developer Johnny Acevedo of Amiten Games. It is not a direct code port of the original 1980 Nichibutsu arcade game; instead it was handcrafted from the ground up, with graphics extracted from MAME ROMs and converted for Amiga hardware. The project is dedicated as a tribute to FranΓ§ois Lionet, creator of the AMOS programming language.
Around 99% of the game logic runs on AMAL scripting, with AMOS BASIC handling collisions, sound triggers and scoring. On a stock Amiga 1200 the game runs at a full 50Hz/50FPS, while on an Amiga 500 it currently runs at 25FPS. It supports joystick control, a three-part ship docking and assembly system, shooting mechanics with engine thrust animation, a dual playfield display (a 4-color scrolling starfield background and an 8-color foreground for the action), and is compatible with the A500+, A600, A2000, A3000, A1200 and A4000. It requires Kickstart 2.00 or higher; Kickstart 1.3 is not officially supported. The game is available to download for free (name your own price) on itch.io.
In this video we're running it on MiSTer FPGA with full gameplay and commentary, showing off this new Amiga release as it plays on real Amiga-accurate hardware emulation.

Return to Blacktooth
Return to Blacktooth dropped on the 4th of May 2026 and the story behind it is one of the most remarkable in all of retro gaming. Today we are playing it on the Amiga via MiSTer FPGA with full gameplay and commentary, and if you are landing here for the first time, welcome to the channel.
Here is the thing about this game. Developer Colin Porch programmed the original Amiga and Atari ST versions of Head Over Heels back in 1989, and the moment he finished, he started work on a sequel. That sequel has taken 37 years to arrive. Return to Blacktooth is that game, officially licensed by rights holder Atari, and published by British indie label Thalamus Digital. It is a proper isometric arcade adventure in the tradition of the 1987 original by Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond, built for real Amiga hardware, not a modern port dressed up in retro clothing.
The game spans five distinct planets and more than 300 rooms loaded with puzzles, traps, and hidden surprises. You play as Head and Heels, two characters with completely different skills. Head can jump, glide, and shoot. Heels is fast and can stack objects. Together they are the only way through the adventure. The game supports all Amigas with 512kb Chip RAM and 512kb of any other RAM, runs from floppy disk, and is fully WHDLoad compatible from version 20.0 upward.
The port and mastering were handled by h0ffman, music is by Jochen Virgill Feldkoetter, cover art is by Wil Overton, and the loading screen was created by Ste Pickford. The physical boxed edition is due in Q3 2026. A CD32 version has also been announced.
Colin Porch is 81 years old. He called this a labour of love. That alone should tell you everything about what kind of game this is.
This is a brand new Amiga game in 2026 running on MiSTer FPGA and it is exactly what this channel is here for. If you enjoy Amiga gaming, retro deep dives, and proper commentary rather than highlights reels, hit subscribe and stick around.

Arc4nerd
Arc4nerd is a brand new game for the Commodore Amiga, released in 2026, and it is one of the most exciting homebrews to land on the platform in recent memory. We are playing it today on the MiSTer FPGA with full gameplay and commentary, so if you are new to the channel, welcome. This is what we do here.
The game was developed by Gerd Surey of HooGames2017 alongside Tino Menzer, published by APC and TCP, and created to coincide with the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention 4. It is an Arkanoid-style brick breaker built specifically for Commodore Amiga hardware, and it runs on an Amiga 500 or higher with Kickstart 1.3 or above and just 1MB of RAM. You control a movable reflector using either a mouse or joystick and bounce the iconic Amiga Boing Ball into tiles to clear each stage.
What sets Arc4nerd apart from a straight Arkanoid clone is the detail packed into it. The game features over 55 levels, and every single one of them is dedicated to a supporter of the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention. The levels are set in an industrial Ruhr area backdrop, giving the game a personality of its own. Drone-copters and obstacles get in your way, and randomly falling 3.5 inch floppy disks drop power-ups including a gun and a triple-boing ball. Pinball-style bumpers are built into the levels for high-score chasing, and there is a final boss waiting at the end of the run.
The physical edition of Arc4nerd comes in a collector's box that includes the game on floppy disk, a rulebook, a sticker sheet with in-game artwork, a pixel art poster, and a postcard of the ARC venue. A limited Special Edition was sold exclusively at the convention and is completely sold out. The standard boxed and digital versions are available through the Amiga Online Shop.
This is a genuine new Amiga game in 2026 running on real Amiga hardware via MiSTer FPGA, and it is exactly the kind of thing this channel loves to cover. If you want to see more Amiga gaming, retro deep dives, and honest commentary, hit subscribe and join the community.

Phoenix
This game originally came out over forty years ago and has been lovingly recreated on the Amiga.
This version is a perfect port of the original classic game from years ago with a little bit of Amgia AGA magic in terms of sparkle have been added to the graphics.
It is pretty incredible with the changes that have been made, they are suttle as visual but the AGA pallette really brings something wonderful to this old game and it changes nothing, this plays as you would hope and will hopefully bring a smile to anybodies face.
This version is available from Itch ( link ).

Rainbow Islands
This is Rainbow Islands, the brilliant sequel to Bubble Bubble from Tatio that came out in 1987.
Released by Ocean and coded by Graftgold, you could argue that for the period it was released it was one of the closest arcade conversions you could get.
Today we go back and play this on the Amiga using a MiSTer FPGA for the recreation of the physical hardware.
