While I'm not a fan of endless games, games whereby there's generally no new levels and it's just a case of traversing as far as you can without touching anything, there's certainly a fan base out there for this type of genre. As thanks to Per Ola giving us the heads up, he has told us Marten W. aka goldmomo has released the Amiga game of Space Pilot of Death; An endless Asteroid avoiding game as you pilot a malfunctioning space ship through an Asteroid belt.
Although this game wont win any awards especially against other high caliber games we've experienced recently, Space Pilot of Death was developed as an anniversary test of using his Amiga 500 after being stuck in storage for 20 years. As in the words of the creator : "I switched it on and enthusiasm comes back. For this anniversary, I wrote a small game to warm up (more of a fast Joystick test) runnable from CLI/WB and could copied to a bootable floppy disk".
Minimal requirements: Amiga 500 (memory expansion or accelerator is not needed) or other OCS/ECS system with min. 512k CHIP RAM
