Putty Squad comeback
Amigans Defender
Amigans Defender


See User information
Putty Squad is being overhauled and re-released for various modern platforms (not including AmigaOS 4).

Trailer here:

edit Developer interview here: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013 ... ty_squad_to_wii_u_and_3ds

I didn't realise that Putty Squad never actually got released for the Amiga, so this is actually a belated release of the game, sadly not available on the platform it was written for.

What annoys me about "developer interview" is that he's not the developer! The developer is John Jones-Steele (who ported Sim City 2000 and Ultima VI to the Amiga, and Speedball II to the CD32, among many other things).
If you want to ask any pertinent questions to the actual developer let me know and I'll ask him next time I go next door....

FWIW, John would I'm sure have no problems with an Amiga port of Putty Squad, but it won't be up to him, as he's just the coder.

You can see his company Facebook page here:

I think he's the person doing the porting/updating, isn't he? It would be a bit weird for System3 to say "actually, we're not going to let you interview the guy who is doing the current work on this, instead contact the person who wrote it originally and no longer works for us".

That's what annoys me, people thinking he's the developer because of that interview.
I don't work for John any more but I'm not aware of anyone else working on it.
I don't believe John had anything to do with the original code though.

There's a suggestion in this article that the Amiga version might be made available as part of a "pre-order incentive":
