The 6,000 square metre exhibition space presents 5,000 years of the history, present and future of information technology, from the emergence of numbers and writing in 3,000 BC to the computer age of the 21st century. On 13 and 14 April, the Retro Computer Festival 2024 will take place at the HNF, jointly organised by the HNF and the Dortmund Retro Computer Treffen. Retro computers spanning from the C64 and Ataris to the Amiga and many other long-forgotten hardware and software can be experienced live on this day. Over 50 exhibitors are expected, who will not only present their treasures, but will also be happy to exchange ideas with visitors and give tips on repairs. The main theme of this RCF is the graphical user interface, which was first available 50 years ago on the Xerox Alto. In addition to the exhibition, lectures and workshops will also be offered. Admission to the entire HNF is free on Saturday and Sunday. (nba) [News message: 09.

The digital (Spanish-language) full version of the game can be purchased directly from the developer for 5 Euros. A demo version is available on Im Aminet as a WHDLoad, in which you can test the first five levels for 60 seconds each. (dr) [News message: 09.

In March, bankruptcy proceedings were initiated against BHBV for the second time. In the same month, Ben Hermans had already initiated the founding of a new company with the same name. As BHBV has not published any statutory annual reports since 2021, it is currently unclear whether the company still holds the majority of shares in Hyperion. Ben Hermans has not responded to an inquiry from amiga-news.de; the appointed liquidator Charlotte Piers tells us she'll get back to us in the next few days with "a more detailed response". Friday's edition of the Belgian Official Gazette (local copy) now contains the information that insolvency lawyer Bart De Moor has been appointed "voorlopig bewindvoerder" for Hyperion Entertainment. Machine translation tools turn "bewindvoerder" into "administrator" - but as native Dutch speakers tell us, a more accurate translation would be "receiver". It is currently unclear who appointed De Moor as receiver - if he had been appointed by BHBV's liquidator, this would be a clear indication that Hyperion Entertainment is part of BHBV's bankruptcy estate. We have asked Bart De Moor for confirmation and will update this news item accordingly should he respond to our questions. Update: (10.04.24, 16:45, cg) Translation error: in several places, we had translated the German term "Konkursverwalter" to "liquidator" - this is a correct translation, but does not match the English term the native Dutch speakers mentioned in the news item used: They translated "voorlopig bewindvoerder" to "receiver". News item updated accordingly. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 08. Apr. 2024, 22:40] [Comments: 2 - 10. Apr. 2024, 16:54] [Send via e-mail]  [Print version]  [ASCII version] 07.Apr.2024 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 (YouTube video). The player's task is to regain control of a spaceship drifting in space and occupied by aliens. Now a second demo has been released for the game which still is in development. More messages have been added to describe what is going on or what is expected of the player. Modal actions like selecting an item to use or viewing the map can now be cancelled by the icon or key that activated them. Work has also begun on adding further animations to the robot characters for using objects or attacking. As the author writes, the first level is as good as finished and he has started on the second level, "which will lean heavily into paying homage to Aliens". The game requires 1MB RAM, recommended is an Amiga 1200 with HD and Fast RAM. (dr) [News message: 07.
