Amiga versions

If you are interested in the original Amiga game files you can find them here: https://github.com/Pyrdacor/Ambermoon. I released some
new versions and patches of the original game files there as well.

A completely new game extension was also released called Ambermoon Advanced. Check it out!

Ambermoon.net can be configured ingame but also via a configuration file.
See Configuration for more details.

Changelog

You can find the full changelog here. You can also look at the releases. They have more details in general.

Custom music

You can use your own music with Ambermoon (e.g. the Atari music or the remixes from Matthias Steinwachs). For more details read here.
I also provide the Atari tracks here. Just extract the mp3 to a folder called "music" next to the main executable to enjoy the music. Note that not all tracks were converted to Atari so only 13 out of 32 tracks are available.
