Audio recording: Speech of Jay Miner
Bill Winters from the Youtube channel "Guru Meditation" has found an old audio recording in the garage of his father which includes a speech of Jay Miner at the "AmiExpo East Coast 1990" in Washington D.C. (USA). The "father of the Amiga" talked in detail among others about the history of the computers, his relation to Commodore and his ideas of the further development of the platform. At the end there was also a round of questions in which Miner seemed accidently to confirm the development of a successor of the A3000.

After his port of Minimig AGA to the TurboChameleon 64, Alastair Robinson now has also implemented an extension of the graphic card emulation ("RTG") for the hardware of Individual Computers. In appreciation for the free availability of the Minimig-AGA core for MiST, which is based on his RTG version, he also has provided a port for the MiST hardware.

Prototype of an unreleased jump'n run: Green Thang
"Green Thang" (video) is a jump'n run game which has been started being developed for the Amiga in 1994. Due to a crashing market, later only a version for the Atari Jaguar was developed further but which only some time later was also dropped. The website "Games that Weren't" succeeded in finding a playable prototype of the Amiga version.
