Flight simulator: Tie Fighter Simulator
"Tie Fighter Simulator" is a small flight simulator created with AMOS and is intended to be a "nostalgic and light-hearted homage to Star Wars, electronic games of the 1980s and the joy of retro programming".
The project was started in 2021 as a personal exercise to relearn AMOS on the Amiga. The idea for the mini-game (a kind of 1980s electronic LED handheld) was inspired by a scene from Star Wars: Episode IV.

Amiga history: Will the real Joe Pillow please stand up
Almost every Amiga fan will be familiar with "Joe Pillow", be it as a nickname for Dale Luck or with regard to the story that the developers of the Amiga transported a prototype of the computer on an airplane in its own seat due to its sensitivity, which was booked under that name.
Now Dale Luck describes at the title link what Joe Pillow was really all about. In February 1984, on a flight from New Orleans to San Jose, he and RJ Mical had simply kept a seat free for more freedom of movement by creating an additional passenger from his backpack and jacket and a pillow with a face painted on it.
