Cloanto has released a new version of Amiga Forever, its emulation software package for the Amiga. It also has released the C64 Forever 2016. Amiga Forever is the official Amiga emulator, preservation and support package brought to you by Cloanto, Amiga developers since 1986.

“After almost two years of hard teamwork since the 2014 versions were released, it may seem like the focus is entirely on the products. To some degree, this is true,” said Cloanto’s Mike Battilana. “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?” “As the holders of the Commodore/Amiga copyrights our goal is both ’emulation done right’ and ‘preservation done right’. 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.”
