Virus Killer – A Game Competition on Amigans.net for January 2024

The title screen.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the first game competition on Amigans.net in 2024! 

We had a lot of fun playing a variety of titles in 2023. Let us aim to make this year just as good, or perhaps even better.

We’ll kick off the new year with a shoot ’em-up called Virus Killer, which was developed by Parallel Realities and ported to AmigaOS 4 by Cyborg and ToAks in 2005.

Virus Killer runs on all AmigaOS 4 setups, including emulation.

It is available to download for free at OS4Depot. You can use the link below to go directly to the download page:

Most games have a story, and Virus Killer is not an exception. According to the readme file, the story is about viruses invading your desktop through various security holes. With the help of your trusty mouse, you must shoot the viruses before they destroy your precious files. Some will steal files from your directories and bring them to their security holes, while others will feast upon them! The aim is to survive as long as possible until all your files are lost. To accomplish this, you must move the crosshair around the screen, blasting away and picking up items to help you (freeze time, more power, etc.) survive.

  • We play on NORMAL difficulty
  • Post a screenshot of your score in the thread on Amigans.net
  • The contest ends at the end of the month (January 31st)

The aim of the competition is to get the highest score.

Thanks for reading! Have a great evening!

Best regards,

Puni a.k.a. AmigaOldskooler
