Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2009
*************************************
July 2, 2009 - Cloanto released today
Amiga Forever 2009, the latest
version of the award-winning Amiga
preservation, emulation and support
suite for Windows and other platforms
Amiga Forever 2009 is the most
refined update ever released in the
Amiga Forever series. It again sets
new references in usability while
more than doubling the featured
content and providing easier access
to a universe of free downloads. Like
its sister product C64 Forever, Amiga
Forever 2009 introduces a synergistic
combination of the RP2 retro-gaming
file format, RetroPlatform Library to
recognize content, and RP2 Manager to
export and import to and from other
file formats.
The 2009 version includes hundreds of
enhancements and was tested to comply
with "Compatible with Windows 7"
requirements. New features include
seamless, one-click integration of
the AmiKit and AmigaSYS add-ons and
new system ROMs (e.g. the 0.7
Kickstart required to run the
software used by Andy Warhol's famous
1985 Launch of Amiga demo). The Plus
Edition includes more than 100 games
and a selection from the most
beautiful demo-scene productions ever
created. Tens of thousands of games,
as well as other software ranging
from the oldest to the latest Amiga
releases are only a mouse click
apart, and can run on powerful PCs
and inexpensive netbooks alike.
When both Amiga Forever and C64
Forever are installed, the players
share data and software modules with
each other, uniformly playing back
RP2 games of both 8-bit and 32-bit
platforms. The same familiar user
interface and settings are also
applied to saved states, disk write
undo, dual-monitor setups and other
advanced functionality. "The way it
brings back memories is amazing, and
it feels as if Commodore and Amiga
were united again," said Michael C.
Battilana of Cloanto.
Dave Haynie, a long-time user of
Amiga Forever and former Commodore
International chief engineer on high
end and advanced projects, added:
"The past IS the future... Amiga
Forever is the single best way to run
AmigaOS today. Your PC is the fastest
Amiga that will ever exist, and
Cloanto does a wonderful job of
packing the emulation technology,
every AmigaOS ROM and Workbench
version (most of which I've long
since lost to data rot on my floppy
collection), games, utilities, Web
tools, graphics programs, most
anything you would need, all in one
place."
Amiga Forever 2009 is available now
in three editions:
* Value Edition (downloadable
installer for Windows systems)
* Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO
image with additional Windows and
platform-neutral content)
* Premium Edition (physical Plus
Edition CD and two DVDs, plus
instant download of the installer
for Windows)
The Plus Edition includes the KX
Light boot environment with barebone
PC hard disk installation and online
updates. The Premium Edition
additionally contains more than five
hours of videos.
