New Amiga release: Master of Minefields

After a series of new C64 releases, we also have something for Amiga fans! Master of Minefields is an Amiga remake of the classic Minesweeper, expanding the original idea in a surprisingly creative way. The game offers not only traditional logic-based gameplay but also a set of unique and challenging variants across 10 diverse game modes. The vast amount of content guarantees hours of fun and a nostalgic return to a concept known from the early PC era.

The game comes in our new boxed edition, including a 4-page manual, postcard, sticker, and the following media options to choose from:

  • Amiga 3.5”floppy – OCS/ECS (A500, A600, A2000 and others)
  • Amiga 3.5” floppy – AGA (A1200, CD32, A4000)
  • Amiga CD-ROM with printed label and in-game music in audio format!
  • 2 floppy disks featuring both versions – OCS/ECS and AGA (a more affordable option than purchasing both media separately).

Before he can set off on his well-earned vacation, our little hero must paint his way through entire mazes. As he rushes through the twisting passages, he’ll face tricky enemies and a ticking clock that never slows down. Inspired by the Android hit Tomb of Mask Color, this well-deserved port brings the challenge to the C64! With countless levels ahead, it all seems easy at first – until the ticking clock turns painting mazes into a real challenge. Hop on an adventure with TANTOOMAN!

The game is available on a floppy disk and offers a multi-hour adventure. And here’s a little secret the author shared with us — this is only Volume 1 of Tantooman for the C64 and there will be more! Jump to our store using this link: https://ka-plus.pl/en/store/Tantooman-C64-floppy-p790388096

New C64 release: ROGUEish!

This autumn is looking incredibly exciting with our lineup of new physical game releases! The first title to hit the shelves in our store is ROGUEish for the Commodore 64. The story is simple: you are a fearless adventurer who discovers a mysterious tower filled with monsters, traps, enchanted relics, and treasure. But the gameplay? That’s where things get intense. Every step is a decision:

  • Which enemy poses the greatest threat?
  • Attack while bleeding, or keep moving and hope to survive?
  • Avoid danger, or hunt enemies for more gold and better gear?
  • Choose a bow for long-range combat (but lower defense and attack), or a sword and shield (higher defense and power, but limited reach)?

Every choice matters — and every run feels different. ROGUEish is available as a boxed edition on two classic storage media: 5.25″ floppy disk and the Cassette tape. Head over to our store using THIS link and get ready to go full rogue!

PAST ISSUES

The Commodore is Ready. Are You?

Komoda & Amiga Plus, or K&A+ for short, is a paper magazine dedicated to Commodore´s range of home computer systems produced between 1977 and 1994. Commodore´s venture into the nascent industry started with the Commodore PET designed by Chuck Peddle and Jack Tramiel, followed in 1980 by the first million selling computer: the VIC-20, a feat surpassed a few year later by the Commodore 64, the best selling home computer in history with over 30 million units. Alongside these bestsellers, Commodore also released a plethora of models with varying degrees of success, including the Plus/4, the Commodore 16 and the Commodore 128, among others. 

All of these 8 bit machines were popularly known in Poland by the affectionate name of “Komoda”, a word also used to designated a certain piece of furniture which eventually became the first half of our magazine´s name. The second part, Amiga, comes from Commodore´s range of 16 and 32 bit computers, manufactured between 1985 and 2004. After the revolutionary Amiga 1000, Commodore conquered the hearts and pockets of the late eighties youth with its budget Amiga 500 model, superseded by the Amiga 1200 or A1200 in 1992. The big box models, known as A2000, A3000 and A4000, were popular with video and 3D professionals due to their built in graphics and video capabilities.

Albeit a series of misguided management decisions led Commodore to file for bankruptcy in 1994, its legacy lives on its enthusiastic user base. To this day, hundreds of thousands of fans have kept playing, programming, designing and composing with their Commodore and Amiga computers. It is for them, and for you reader of this text, wondering if there is a conclusion to all this blurb or is it just some SEO friendly list of keywords, that we embarked on this project.

Edited in two languages – Polish and English – by an international team of die-hard retro fans, K&A+ warps you to those fascinating years with over eighty pages of game reviews, opinion articles, event reports, tutorials and interviews in gloriously colorful glossy paper. But don´t let the looks fool you, because there´s no old or recycled content in K&A+: only the freshest news, the most unbiased reviews and the deepest insights, presented in an entertaining, fluid style and delivered to your door every three months – worldwide.

Keep up with the Commodore – subscribe to K&A+ today!
