Freeze64
FREEZE64 is a home-grown, A5 pro-printed, full colour, gloss, Commodore 64 gaming, cheat and coding fanzine, which you can buy and have sent to you wherever you are in the world.
Each issue is full of features on hacking games, mini game reviews, coder interviews, (recent interviews include Jon Hare, David Darling, Andrew Braybrook, John Darnell, Gary Penn, Nick Taylor, Peter Liepa…) game ending reviews, desert island disks, special features, game news, tips, revealing hidden game messages, guides and lots, lots more. If you love gaming on your C64 and want to learn more about cheating in games, as well as reading game reviews, features and interviews, then this is the fanzine for you.
And you will find some great games there for TheC64 Mini too.
Amiga Games Selector
This is a game launcher for THEA500 Mini and WinUAE, it loads Amiga games plus emulators to that run on the Amiga 68k machines, it was originally called Arcade Game Selector but was changed because it was customised to work on THEA500 Mini, now its has been add to other platforms so like PC(WinUAE), Linux(UAE), Steam Deck(UAE, Retroarch), Retroarch(latest version only, it uses a 16gb hdf file) and others.
Its the closes thing you get to a carousel and being able to add your own games with box, screen art and a description of the games to THEA500 Mini, it comes with a load of games on its HDF files so if you only want to play the games you want too and not all of them(its kind of impossible to play them all, there are too many of them), then add the games to Favourites so when you go there you see the games you want to play only.
I do hope some day it will have a games manager so you can just add the games you want to AGS instead of it been a big game pack of games and having to download a 16gb file everytime, having a AGS All in One Game Pack and a AGS Basic No Games Pack would be better because AGS is a big download everytime and you then have a choice, with games or without games, being able to add your own games is better, not everyone wants every Amiga game out there and you might not even play them all, me I mainly stick with the Amiga games I have played before because its that felling you had when you played the Amiga game for the first time... its all about Nostalgia, new games do not do that for me so I do not play new games or buy them, Amiga is all about the old games with me like on the C64 too, it about it transporting you back in time to that time in your life and how it made you feel.
Enjoy AGS...
