Interview with Robert Koon (Amiga conversion of Dune II)
In another interview by Spillhistorie, Hans Arne Jacobsen spoke this time with Robert Koon, one of the developers involved in the Amiga conversion of Westwood's strategy classic Dune II. He is currently working on a new version, which should eliminate the limitations of the DOS original (amiga-news.de reported).
As the programmer explains among other things, he also intended to re-enter Amiga development with this undertaking - there would be several other projects that he wants to implement afterwards.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.20, Firmware 1.6
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks.

Turn-based strategy game: New demo version of "Ecliptic"
Ecliptic is described by the author as "a mixture of turn based tactical combat and role playing" (amiga-news.de reported) being a visually reminiscent of the retro-futuristic science fiction of the 1970s and 1980s. Now a fourth demo has been released for the game as lha archive.
As the developer reports, the game now makes full use of EHB mode (in German). The chip RAM management has also been changed so that the game should no longer slow down on an A500 with 512 chip RAM.
In addition, the "combat rules" of the game have been revised: the hit points and damage caused by weapons have been simplified and are hopefully better balanced. The robots should also feel different now.
The game requires 1MB RAM, recommended is an Amiga 1200 with HD and Fast RAM.
