Guest Blog from Egoitz, who returns to give us news of another Amiga Tournament, here the blog.
The 30 th of september and 7 of october Euskal Retro association organized the IX. Basque
Tournament of Commodore Amiga 500, a great computer that we play it in tournament twice a year.
Seven players in total gathered in “Bar Jofer” (Santutxu, Bilbao) in the second floor. It was a very
interesting afternoon. Before playing Amiga 500 we played Atari and Master System, two great
consoles.
But the Amiga 500 is one of the best for me, for its excellent graphics and games We played
4 great games: Pang; a great classic from the Amiga 500 and arcades. What a fun and cool game.
Then we started playing Paperboy, a classic game of the teenager who delivers newspapers. This
game we played in the hard level. also common in arcades in the 80s and 90s. Then we played Mega
Phoenix; a classic in our tournaments of Commodore Amiga 500, very simple game with very
similar to “Space Invaders” made by Dinamic. Seven days later, Daniel and me played Space
Harrier at my house. The mouse wasn’t working properly, so we couldn’t play as well as usual, but
we got a low score.
In the end, Egoitz was the player who got more points but the rest of players did a good job. I
think in april of 2026 we will meet again to play again a new basque tournament of Commodore
Amiga 500, if all goes well. It will be the tenth edition, so I will try to prepare something special,
maybe more games; some medals for the best players and diplomas for all players. Hope to have
more people and play more games. Here we leave the results:
