Amiga Game Development in London
Custom games for the Commodore Amiga, built by a London development team that treats retro platforms with the craft they deserve. New original titles, faithful ports and restorations — developed with modern tooling, delivered to run on genuine Amiga hardware.
Bringing New Games to a Classic Platform
The Commodore Amiga has one of the most devoted followings in computing. Decades after its heyday, new games are still being made, hardware is still being bought and restored, and a passionate community keeps the platform very much alive. If you have an idea for an Amiga game — a brand-new title, a port, or a revival of something older — it deserves to be built properly.
Fulminous Software offers Amiga game development in London for enthusiasts, collectors, studios and publishers who want authentic Amiga software created with genuine care. We combine an understanding of the platform's real constraints with modern development practices, so you get a game that feels true to the Amiga while being built efficiently and reliably.
This is specialist, considered work rather than mass production. We take on Amiga projects because we respect the machine, and we scope each one honestly so you know exactly what is achievable on your chosen hardware before development begins.
What we build for the Amiga
- Original, brand-new Amiga game titles
- Ports of existing designs to the Amiga
- Amiga classics brought to modern platforms
- Restoration and completion of unfinished projects
- Prototypes and playable proofs of concept
Our Amiga Game Development Services
End-to-end development for the Commodore Amiga, from first concept to a finished game that runs on real hardware.
Original Game Development
We design and build brand-new Amiga games from the ground up — gameplay, artwork, sound and code — tailored to your concept and target hardware.
Game Ports & Conversions
Bringing a design or an existing title to the Amiga, or taking a classic Amiga game to modern platforms, working carefully within each system's constraints.
Pixel Art & Audio
Authentic pixel artwork and chip-style music and sound that suit the Amiga's character, produced to fit the palette and memory of your target machine.
Engine & Tooling Setup
Setting up and working within modern Amiga toolchains — Scorpion Engine, AmiBlitz3 or C — choosing the right approach for your game's complexity.
Prototyping
Fast, playable prototypes so you can feel the core of the game early and make decisions before committing to a full build.
Builds & Delivery
Delivering your finished game in the formats you need — for floppy, hard drive or modern flash storage — and validated on genuine hardware.
The Tools We Develop With
Modern Amiga development no longer means hand-assembling everything on period hardware. We use today's cross-compilers and engines to develop efficiently on PC and Mac, then produce software that runs correctly on real Amiga systems. The right toolchain depends on your game.
Scorpion Engine is our go-to for efficient, script-driven and largely codeless creation, ideal for arcade-style and platform games. AmiBlitz3 gives us BASIC-based development with plenty of control. For performance-critical or more complex titles, we develop in C using the Amiga C Engine (ACE) and related cross-compilers, getting close to the metal where it matters.
Throughout development we test against accurate emulation such as WinUAE for speed, and validate on genuine hardware so nothing is left to chance on the machines your players will actually use.
Amiga Systems We Target
We agree your target hardware at the outset, so the game is designed and tested for the machines and configurations your audience actually runs.
Not sure what to target? We'll help you choose based on your audience and the game you want to make.
Our Development Process
A clear, honest path from idea to a finished Amiga game — with the platform's real constraints respected at every step.
Concept & Scoping
We talk through your idea, agree the target hardware, and set a realistic scope for what the game will be — so expectations are clear before we build.
Design & Prototype
We shape the gameplay and produce a playable prototype early, so you can feel the core mechanics and steer the direction.
Art & Audio
Pixel artwork and chip-style sound are created to fit the palette, memory and character of your target Amiga.
Development
We build the game in the chosen toolchain, working within the hardware's constraints to keep it authentic and performant.
Testing on Real Hardware
We test on emulation for speed and validate on genuine Amiga systems, so the finished game behaves correctly where it counts.
Delivery
We deliver your game in the formats you need and support you through getting it into players' hands.
Who We Work With
Amiga development is a specialist craft, and we work with anyone who shares a serious interest in doing it well.
Why Choose Fulminous Software
A London software company that brings professional discipline to retro game development.
Respect for the platform
We take the Amiga seriously and build within its real constraints, rather than forcing modern shortcuts that break the authenticity.
Modern practices
Professional project management, clear communication and modern toolchains bring reliability to a niche that often lacks it.
Honest scoping
We tell you upfront what is realistic on your target hardware, so there are no false promises and no surprises.
Full-service team
Code, pixel art and audio under one roof, so your game is coherent rather than stitched together from separate hands.
London-based, works anywhere
Rooted in London and happy to collaborate remotely with retro communities across the UK and beyond.
Genuine partnership
We care about the result. We'll be honest about what will make your Amiga game good, not just what's easy to build.

Amiga Game Development FAQs
Can you build a brand-new game for the Commodore Amiga?
Yes — original Amiga games from concept to a finished, runnable title, built with modern engines and cross-compilers such as the Scorpion Engine, AmiBlitz3 and C with the Amiga C Engine, producing software that runs on genuine Amiga hardware and accurate emulators.
Which Amiga models do you target?
The classic range including the A500, A600, A1200 and A4000, across OCS, ECS and AGA chipsets, accounting for common memory and accelerator configurations. We agree the target hardware with you at the start.
Do the games run on real hardware or only emulators?
Both. We develop and test against accurate emulators such as WinUAE for speed, and validate on real hardware. We can deliver builds for floppy disk, hard drive or modern flash-based storage.
Can you port games to or from the Amiga?
Yes, in both directions — porting a design or existing title to the Amiga within hardware constraints, or bringing a classic Amiga game to modern platforms such as PC or mobile. We assess each direction before quoting.
What tools and engines do you use?
Modern Amiga toolchains: the Scorpion Engine for efficient codeless and script-driven creation, AmiBlitz3 for BASIC-based development, and C with the Amiga C Engine and related cross-compilers — chosen to fit the game's complexity and target hardware.
How long does an Amiga game take to build?
It depends on scope. A small focused game is a much shorter project than a large title with extensive levels, music and artwork. We work in clear phases and agree scope and timeline upfront.
Do you work with clients outside London?
Yes. We collaborate remotely with regular check-ins, so we can work with enthusiasts, studios and publishers across the UK and internationally as well as in London.
Do you take on unfinished or restoration projects?
Yes. If you have a part-built Amiga game or an older project you want completed or restored, talk to us — we'll review what exists and advise honestly on the best way forward.
