Here are two clips from a old UK kids Computer Games show Bad Influence on the news of the release of the A1200 and Amiga CD32.

While experimenting with the filters and bezels in WinUAE, I noticed that some images of monitors and TVs add a bit of glare to the screen, mimicking the classic glass of older displays. This effect makes the visuals feel more authentic.
An idea struck me: what if I used a program like OBS to stream the WinUAE display and then overlay a webcam feed, faded into the screen, to create the illusion of the screen reflecting the viewer? (basically just go into video option, colour correction mode, make the image opitic and up the contrast slightly, make it look like your a ghost / reflection in the monitor.
Here’s a quick result of my experiment. I think it’s quite effective.
I was going to record me saying this, but then I thought what the hell, lets make AI sing it.
Tech isnt it nuts!
Only Amiga and little bit of modern day tech makes it Possible!

Thanks to Andy Farrell, for the full 1hr 50 of this show click below, but this bit has to be the highlight for me!

Recently had a small gathering in Rochdale, near Manchester a very good little show, with David John Pleasance attending and pitching the Commodore Amiga Global Alliance (CAGA) idea.
I’ve kinda got it to a point of say its a very early proof of concept running but not really where I was hoping to get to and kinda know how I could make it better but the simple reason is lack of Time and skill :(.
Basically I looked a the A500 mini Interface and suddenly thought I could most likely make that on Hollywood Designer and even had visions of making a Pre-Config Workbench environment that would load up and take you straight into the App and so it would feel very much like the
A500 mini, but it be all running on Amiga Desktop!
this is the Proof of Concept App
Designed For Amikit XE Windows!!!!! (wont work on Pi version and untested on other system)
Fast Amiga / Emulated environment required
WHDLoad & WBRun Required
Hollywood Player Maybe

So this time next year we will have a product on the market that will likely be the easiest way to run Amiga games (the A500 mini), but before it arrives I thought Id show of some easy ways to run Amiga Games Today!
Internet Archive
archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_amiga_games
A huge collection of Amiga software is available on this site and as long as you have a high end modern web bowser you can run this games in the browser. There can be some issue with controls, but considering, there no install, no setup and it free, this has to be the easiest way.
Ant Stream
antstream.com
Stream running classic retro titles, loads of arcade classic, but the good thing is the Amiga library it has is pretty wide too. (NOT on iOS like I said in the video), but a simple install (windows, macos, android, amazon store, linux) and setting up an account. It also has extra features like tournaments, and leaders boards so you can compete with people online. It currently free, it was subscription service, so Id jump on now while its free.
Amiga Forever
amigaforever.com
Most likely the most well know way to run Amiga games, its the official emulator by Cloanto/Amiga, this come with a small collection of games setup to run with one click, often overlooked nice treat that you get with the package, it also features the Retro Platform that will try its best to automatically get the setting for the Amiga game you download if you try and open say a ADF file with Amiga Forever. It comes with all the Amiga computers also pre setup and a nice full AmigaOS setup. However this is only for Windows machine, plus its kinda maybe not the easiest way to get games running if you just find one off the internet as it will try it best but you might have to learn a bit of how to setup Amiga emulator. Plus it starts at $9.99 and if you want the extras like the games you need the plus package at $29.99.
MegaAGS (Mega Arcade Game Selector) image
So basically in the Amiga world there has been a number of innovation to make it easier to run the old classic Amiga titles, as many of them where floppy disk based, and floppy disks are slow, annoying to change and can easily be damage, so the first big innovation was WHDLoad, this project goal was to create Slave Files that could make games run within the AmigaOS, be hard drive friendly, they also sometime fixed little issues with games and by pass a lot of the older Copyright protection stuff Amiga games came with. Then came about iGame / Arcade Game Selector programs to make it even easier to navigate and find your games, specially if you have hundreds on your system. So this then lead to a hard drive image of 6.6Gb be created with pretty much every Amiga game you can think of, so once you have this set up in either you real Amiga, FPGA Amiga, or Emulated system you no longer have to worry about setting up different things for different games. Unfortunately due to this pack having a lot of games not legally allowed to be distributed I cant tell you where to find it, but I recommend it as it is another very easy way to run Amiga games. You might need a little bit of knowledge to set the first setting in Amiga emulator but once your done its a great set up.

Colin Proudfoot, who was a manger at Commodore Uk, during the Amiga 30th event tells the touching story of a terminally ill kid who dreamed of owning the new Amiga. CommodoreUK & Make A Wish made it happen!
As someone who has most of there life dreamed about owning the next new Amiga, (kind of achived it twice with getting a power tower Amiga and fianally the X1000) I think I would of made the same wish when I was a kid, its also important that a foundation like this get money,
I decided to try and raise £399 for make a wish Uk, the same cost of an A1200 was in 1993. If you can donate, thank you.
