Amiga Quake2 Page Online
In cooperation with Daniel Schultz: an Amiga Quake 2 webpage has been started, on which additional material regarding Quake 2 for AmigaOS will be published in the future - such as new mods and levels, whether created by users or downloaded from the server.

Originally there were 41 Quake 2 mods for AmigaOS. Since then there have been another 20 mods. These additional mods will be downloadable from the Quake2 page. So there will be 2 or 3 mods offered for download weekly, just check the page and don't miss them.

To start off, the following three mods are offered:
  • ChaosDM - one of the best Deathmatch mods for Quake 2
  • Star Trek - contains the entire Enterprise as a level (and new weapons)
  • Bots - "Battle of the Sexes" - a CTF Mod, based on classes, in which a male team and a female team go up against each other.
The requirements to be able to use these mods are that you must have Quake2 for Amiga installed. Quake2 is available from retailers now.

Amiga Arena: Full Version of WBMenu`97
In cooperation with Manfred L. and with the approval of H. Röhricht Amiga Arena is making possible a further classic full version of WBMenu`97. Here is a snip from the handbook:

WBMenu`97 is a multifunctional high speed data bank system with an intuitive user interface, with which you are placed in a position where you can have an overview and manage and start all of your programs. To this end WBMenu`97 offers functions, for which unless several programs must be inserted, and is an offer to all who wish to get the most from their computers.

Thereby it doesn't matter what particular use you make of your computer. WBMenu`97 is the first program of its type, that can take over full control of the system. Whether it is the binding of hardware drivers or the loading of the Workbench, it's "no problem" for WBMenu '97.


You'll find more information in the handbook for WBMenu`97! (ps) (Translation: dm)

Audio: AHI/PPC 6 only for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4
Martin Blom, the developer of the soundcard driver system AHI, has reiterated that there will be neither PowerUp nor WarpUp versions. There is only the MorphOS version (available) and the AmigaOS 4 version (planned).

Here is his original announcement:

"Yes, indeed, today is November 7th, not July 11th. Anyway, I've been asked to clarify one thing regarding the PPC version of AHI. There will be no WarpUp version, nor will there be any PowerUp version. The reason is that neither of these two systems allow PPC code to be invoked from within an interrupt?, which is an absolute requirement for AHI. The current PPC version is for MorphOS only. In the future, I hope to have an AmigaOS 4 version as well.

1) While it should have been obvious by reading the PowerUp documentation, there is nothing in the WarpUp documentation or the actual design that suggests that it will not work; in WarpUp, it could be possible if the implementation had allowed it. In any case, the days when I could be bothered to write for a mixed CPU system are since long gone..." (ps) (Translation: dm)

Quake2 Amiga Port Available
On the 2nd of November 2002 at the WOASE convention in London, Quake 2 for AmigaOS officially went on sale. The game was demonstrated in a "Death Match" between three Amigas. It ran a custom level which was specially created for the convention. The network server was a PC, in order to demonstrate that PC users and Amigans may play in the same TCP/IP multiplayer network, however naturally an Amiga could also be used as a server. The Quake2 packet for Amiga contains an easy-to-use installer script, a startup GUI, and documentation in AmigaGuide format, including the original version of Quake2 for Windows, which contains the data files.

Over 55 Quake2 mods are to be offered for Quake2 through different channels, including the Internet.

Quake2 for AmigaOS will become available from your local Amiga dealer sometime this week. The price may vary from dealer to dealer.
