#AMIGApril is a month-long chain raid event on Twitch to promote gaming on the Amiga platform. In short we use #AMIGApril in the title and tags when we stream Amiga during April and raid out to other streamers who are doing the same thing. We aim to help people meet new people, to help viewers find streamers they like but don’t yet know of, and to spread the Amiga joy message!

The #AMIGApril 2024 is now over! Below you can see the streamers who signed up last time! If you want to participate next time, you can just do it on your own by using the tag but if you’d like to be featured on the list, hit me up on Twitch (retroDemiurgi) or Discord (demiurgi). You can also discuss #AMIGApril on the AmigaLive Discord server. What’s next? #AMIGAugust perhaps? Stay tuned!

Also, if you don’t have original hardware and don’t quite know where to start with emulating, feel free to ask! We can also help you pick games that might interest you depending on your taste. First things first: download AmigaLive!

Competition/Challenges

In addition to chaining raids we offered a little optional competition to those interested. At the end of the month it was Girolamo who was crowned the champion of AMIGApril 2024. Well deserved congratulations to the winner! Final scorelist:

Girolamo chose a mug as his prize for the win in addition to a symbolic gift card to an e-store of his choice.
