29.07.2025 11:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I spoke with Torben Bakager, the co-creator of the influential Amiga shmups Hybris and Battle Squadron, about the impact of the Amiga launch on game dev 40 years ago.
Such a pleasure… my first computer, an Amiga, made me fall for shmups, and inspired my career choice.
No plans ATM for it - not sure I have the stamina 🤣

The ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 Kickstarter campaign goes live tomorrow, giving you another chance to get your hands on the highly sought after retro computer. You can even set up a launch notification on the page, if you're the forgetful type!

Just completed this excellent little retro-styled point and click game, The Drifter. Full review in the next issue of Fusion, but basically well worth £15!
