Good news about Allegro PSP,
The library is almost totally ported to the PSP console. The latest additions are:

• Support for 8 bpp mode. The PSP don't support natively this mode.

Today I proudly present my first (and the only) videogame creation  

My home made version of the popular Columns game programmed with Amiga Basic 1.2. Yeah! The included in the Amiga Extras 1.3 disk.
It was developed and released in february 1994 when I just began my Computer science studies in the FIB (Facultat Informàtica de Barcelona).
I remember my sister totally addicted at it, I'm not joking...  

So if you feel bored and you like the oddities launch WinUAE and insert AmigaBASIC_Columns.adf, you'll not regret.
