I love them, and miss them

That giant battletech icon before you play that fantastic turn based hexagonal game, or the Amos basic icon, there was just so much opportunity for fun.

Ever since then I occasionally try and make it happen on vanilla OS’s, without success.

Them I just realised I’ve been a dev forever, and various desktop environments on Linux have been open forever, it might be time for me to try one last time. It may never take off, but I would love to see it :D

A nitpick: I had a Picasso II graphics card, which was release in '93, and it natively supported 1600x1280 resolution. I didn't post that screenshot but it's completely possible that the uploader viewed it directly at that size.

I would love an AmigaOS desktop environment to run under AmiWM to make a Linux box feel like a Miggy. I'm puzzled it's clever been done.
