To some degree, this is true,&#8221; said Cloanto&#8217;s Mike Battilana. &#8220;We are a bit obsessive about software quality. But we also feel the burden of other challenges. For example, a belief in quality and innovation is easy to put into practice by releasing great products, but how can you manifest and be entrusted with a vision of ultimate long-term care?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the holders of the Commodore\/Amiga copyrights our goal is both &#8217;emulation done right&#8217; and &#8216;preservation done right&#8217;. This is a long path, which is made possible by the support of our generous customers and contributors. So once again my thankful thoughts go to our community. These 2016 software releases are by them, for them, and they allow us to keep working in this direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amiga Forever 2016 is available now in three editions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Value Edition (downloadable installer)<\/li>\n<li>Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)<\/li>\n<li>Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>C64 Forever 2016 is available now in three editions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)<\/li>\n<li>Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image)<\/li>\n<li>Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed CD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both packages recognize and work with each other, for example if the user wishes to merge the different platforms into the same interface. Prices start from $9.95 (Value Edition, or special upgrade offers).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commodore fans, rejoice!
