In June 2014 I had the pleasure of playing "The Last Door" by The Game Kitchen ; one of the best adventure horror games of 2014 for the PC(link). Not only did it have that nostalgic sierra style to it, but it also had an incredible episodic story, with some fine scary moments thrown in as well. Well this PC game may be coming to the Amiga! As during the Posadas 2025 Homebrew Games competition, an

For some reason this month there has been a surge in Adventure games for our retro computers (not that I'm complaining ;)). We've had Herra 47 : Midsummer Festival for the Commodore 64, and even the more recent announcement of Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards, which is also coming to the C64. But now we turn our attention to the Atari ST for some adventure goodness!

I did post the same on Facebook and Twitter, but for those of you who don't follow social media however. This really needs to be said!

It's too HOT and it's a Sunday, so I should be chilling with a nice Cider and the fan on full power! But Saberman was quick to give me the heads up on his return from holiday, about a new Commodore Amiga demo that's recently surfaced, called 'Zorkland' by Amiten Games. A classic-style arcade shooter that he says is "A lost gem from 2013, reborn in 2025!". To coincide with this news, provided

Iron Gate aka Jojo037 has created a number of games throughout the years, games such as The Zing, The Real Brus Lii and Mini Legión to name but a few that we've mentioned on Indie Retro News. But while I have been a bit disgruntled over featuring any of his newest titles, considering the backlash I get of mentioning sluggish frame rates, and always developed using Backbone (Even if the graphics

In the early 80's Nintendo released one of the most famous games of all time, and that game was ' Donkey Kong '. A game in which you played as Mario that had to avoid obstacles across a number of platforms, with sometimes a hammer in hand to save a damsel in distress from a giant barrel throwing ape called Donkey Kong. That same game which also appeared as a more recent Arcade to Amiga conversion

Throughout 2024 I've been keeping you up to date about Golden Code's awesome looking Danmaku shooter of 'Hyperborea'. A game that doesn't just feature decent graphics, but more bullets and lasers than you can handle all running on a stock A1200 or above. Well if you're interested in the latest developments of this upcoming Amiga game which was formerly known as 'Hyperborea' and now known as 'MILV

While the latest news about Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards coming to the C64 was a huge hit for the website, there was another game that's well worth checking out if you want some Larry-like goodness right now, and it's Vector5 Games 'Herra 47 : Midsummer Festival'. A new game that one of our readers even went as far as saying, " pretty much the blueprint for a

With a lot of news this month you'd think it would slow down, but not so!

Get ready for some great Monday news! As Liqmatrix was kind enough to inform us in our inbox, about the latest release of Jixa Lady Tiger by Oscar Celestini SHOP. A game that isn't just a nod to Vixen, which was a platformer published by Martech in 1988 for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum. But this PC game looks super cool as it was developed in a C64

An IndieRetroNews reader, has recently informed us in our comments feed, that JOTD has finally released the eagerly awaited Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja Arcade conversion for the Commodore Amiga (AGA).
