Music Updates The Great Giana Sisters re-recorded

2025-11-12
The Great Giana Sisters has finally been re-recorded. The old files were saturating too much and some high pitches noises were played in some parts of the title and options screens.

Music Updates Mr. Nutz & Stuff

2025-11-11
Mr. Nutz: Hoppin Mad has been re-recorded. This soundtrack was in the first ones I ever recorded back in 1996 and it was about time to replace this old tape recording from the game sound test. 2 more tracks have been added (Ending & Jungle BGM), making this soundtrack now complete.

SWIV has been re-recorded to get rid of those old files saturating way too much. Title Screen is now looping as it should and the continue music has been expanded to 30 seconds. I also removed the loop on Decimation track.

Ghouls and Ghosts tracks has been reordered and renamed so they reflect the order and names in the original audio files.

Music Updates Street Fighter II & More

2025-11-10
Added 5 unused tracks for Street Fighter II composed by Matthew Simmond (4-Mat).

Tom and the Ghost sountrack has been re-recorded, and 3 BGMs has been added.

Transartica old recording has been replaced with a newer, cleaner one.

Pinball Dreams: all SFX were merged per table, leading in a significant decrease in the number of audio tracks.

All R-Type musics composed by Darius Zendeh have been added, completing the Title tune by Chris Hülsbeck. This one has also been re-recorded so the whole soundtrack stays consistent in volume and sound quality.

Music Updates Re-records of old tapes soundtracks

2025-11-09
Another old soundtrack from audio cassette recordings has been updated: Jaguar XJ220.
In addition to the existing tracks, some chiptune music has been added, the origin of which I have no idea (I think they were added as a joke to fill the floppy disk completely). A pre-release version of the track called "Troubled Journey" (unused in the game) has also been added.

Global Gladiators was also re-recorded: the tracks now respect the standard recordings rules I use (loop x2 + 15sec fade). I also put all the SFX into one "bonus" track so the soundtrack doesn't have 60 1sec tracks.

Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge was re-recorded too, the old soundtrack had some volume inconsistencies.

Music Updates Agony re-recorded

2025-11-07
The Agony soundtrack has been re-recorded, as the old soundtrack was a mix of old cassette recordings and new ones.
The tracks have been rearranged to try and match the in-game listening order as closely as possible. Two "direct from composer" tracks have also been added: the title screen and the high score screen.

Bugs & Fixes Bug fixes & Apidya re-record

2025-11-06
A small patch was applied this morning to correct the behavior of the news reader. The text is now correctly formatted when viewing older news articles. It is also now possible to comment on these older news articles.
Some corrections have also been made to the general user interface.

The registration process is operational again (it was still broken despite my efforts to fix it last week).
If you still encounter any problems, please report them on the Abandonware Ring Discord server (link at the bottom of the page).

The Apidya soundtrack has been re-recorded. The old soundtrack was one of the very first I recorded back in 1996 and came from an audio cassette recording using the game's sound test. My recording routine wasn't quite perfected yet, and some tracks weren't looping a second time, and the fade-out at the end of the track was too fast. All of this has now been corrected.
The new version has better sound quality and offers almost twice as many tracks, for 1 hour and 16 minutes of pure enjoyment.

Music Updates Shadow of the Beast II re-recorded

2025-11-04
Shadow of the Beast 2 has been re-recorded. Instead of the old incomplete 6 tracks one, you now have:
- Video intro (audio only)
- Title Screen (loading)
- Title Screen (press start)
- Levels 1, 2 & 3 individual tracks
- 3 game over musics: several versions exists, I don't know if all were used ingame.
- Levels 1, 2 & 3 medleys as bonus tracks.

General News Server Migration is done

2025-10-28
AmigaParadise was offline for a few hours today because we migrated to our own dedicated server. It was challenging, but it's finally done.

What's new? This server is faster, and there shouldn't be any more lag spikes like on our old shared server. I've also fixed the email system, so you can now register on the site again to take advantage of the advanced features (custom playlists, favorites management, and software reviews and ratings).

The audio files are still being uploaded, so not all playlists are fully functional yet (if the audio player refuses to start, it means the files aren't there yet), but you can already download the .zip archives.

New Features Comments are LIVE

2025-10-24
Comments have arrived on Amiga Paradise!
You can now leave comments on the news I post, as well as on the game pages, cracktros, demos, etc. You can also rate the soundtracks from 0 to 10.

The comment/rating system is currently located at the bottom of the pages, but I may reorganize the way the pages are visually presented in the future.

I'm also taking this opportunity to announce that I've fixed several minor display bugs, particularly on the dashboard and the database page.
