@slider1983 One step at a time. As for the logo, I'm afraid everyone's favourite logo is usually the one they associate with their favourite games. Our choice is based on it being the original, the one that is most associated with Gremlin's full creative independence.
@Guru_Larry we have the rights to all the classic 8-bit characters, in particular the characters of Monty Mole, Thing on a Spring, Jack the Nipper, Sam Stoat, and quite a few more. We are aiming at original 8-bit hardware too.
And you're right about Impossamole no longer ours but then no true Monty mole fan ever really considered it canon, and I think it's safe to say we have disowned it, it was all just a fever dream.
I'm going to put my language teaching hat on here and tell you that in general, vowel sounds such as the 'a' at the end of 'Amiga', are usually a question of accent, not pronunciation, so really none are incorrect, it just depends where you're from.
You could get pedantic and say that it should be pronounced in a Spanish accent, but the fact is, it's derived from the Spanish, but in this context it's a proper noun, and no longer a Spanish word. Just in the same way as 'Wolfenstein' does not need to be pronounced in a German accent, because again, it's just a name.
