8-bit Boy, please Play me an old Amiga-Tune!

8bitboy.gif

One click to happiness. The 8bit-boy is a versatile, flash-based music-player, that let you play all the good module files (.mod) from the Amiga days again. You can embed the binary online at any site and feed the player with mod-files via XML - which is somehow a standard process to flashbased players at the moment. The 8-bit boy is written in ActionScript 3.0 and at Popforge you will also peek inside the souce-code if wanted. This cute little one will surely have a great career if people will use it to play such funky tunes like on the 8-bit boy website.

Enforcer

"Yet, in 1992, Enforcer was published by a German magazine called 'Golden Disk 64' as a low budget game. In the opening titles of the game, the programmer and graphic artist was just named 'The Master', but the end game credits actually tell us that 'The Master' is Mr. Manfred Trenz himself."
