“Paradise Lost” was the first commercial Amiga game designed and developed in Turkey. It was proudly produced by Ahmet Ergen and me, and released on 4 floppy disks in December, 1991.
Though it was a phenomenal technical achievement in terms of setting the bar for game development in Turkey by the early 1990s, thanks to problematic distribution channel and no media support, it was a commercial failure. Only a few hundred copies were sold! And, as far as I know, none of them have survived. It is a game that is no longer known to exist in any private collections or public archives. Long lost and forgotten… Until now!

Due to release of official Darth Vader comic series, he is invited to Istanbul by a local publisher. It was announced a few months ago, and I was waiting for him since then…Certainly worth the wait! Such a kind man, and a true English gentleman with a big warm heart. He is an authentic Jedi knight, actually! – “At your service, my Lord!”
Atatürk Arboretum, a living heritage tree museum, is located south east of the Belgrade Forest in Istanbul. Covering 345 hectares area, it is Heaven on Earth displaying not only its local flora, but also many elected trees and plants brought from all over the world. Resembling a laboratory, the arboretum serves as a source to many researches.
Today, we had the privilege of visiting Atatürk Arboretum! Special thanks and greetings to Ico & Ümit for making this special day a wonderful one 🙂
Lo and behold! Here comes the knights of Sherwood…
