Fuck it. Calling it. Early beer-o-clock, fam.

Every issue of #ByteMagazine in a navigable image file and downloadable PDFs. It's incredible how smoothly this site works in a browser, even the DDG browser on my phone.

I did a search for #Amiga, and the results made the pages show up as if I were looking at a hi-res microfiche.

I don't normally like puzzle games, but I've spent some time with this one, and it's a banger:

Come on Nintendo, you know I'm gonna buy the Zelda Switch 2... You could have made a few more of them :(

Treasure of Usas - Amiga Port - released

Two bona fide academic papers on BBC Micro Elite have just been presented at the IEEE Conference on Games in Madrid (see https://cog2026.org/acceptedpapers).

I'm a co-author, alongside Michael Fairbank from the University of Essex.

They're a great read! And they are available as free downloads from the University of Essex website, so everyone can enjoy them.

Here are the details.

The first paper is all about the in-game planets, with their glorious rotating craters and meridians (these planetary details are also in the Commodore 64 version, though in that version they are turned off by default).

Fairbank, Michael and Moxon, Mark (2026) The Rotating Planets in the Classic Game: Elite. In: IEEE Conference on Games, 2026-09-01 - 2026-09-04, Madrid. (In Press)

The second paper explores the epic Saturn loading screen - a mathematical work of art.

I hope you enjoy them!

Today I have mostly been riding the Tywi Valley Path in Carmarthen. And it was *lovely* 👌

Thighs are feeling it…

I've been testing a pre-release of Roguecraft DX on Steam today ❤️ It's a lovely polished upgrade to the Amiga DX version, retains the same great gameplay, and adds some fun extras.

The full release is very soon - go wishlist it now!
