That’s right, it won’t do anything until you setup and insert the SD Card - see the manual for help

My new workbench is an old school science lab desk.
I think I can make out a love heart here and apparently “ANA is fit”

This 1989 Sony TV was a £41 pickup on eBay. Ultimately I’d like to put it on a Sam Coupé but for now it’s serving the C64. Bargains are still out there.

Lovely to pop into the Robin Hood Amiga group in #Nottingham - A very friendly bunch that any Amigan in the area should get involved with!

Thanks! Possibly! I’ve continued tweaking the game and would like to finish it up. Jason will also be working on games in the DevDen. In the meantime you should check out @yawning-angel.bsky.social for lots of Amos goodness

Reuniting orphaned boxes and media brings me more joy than it probably should.
This was a tricky CD to source but it’s now safely in the box. 📦
