The latest issue 169 includes tests of "Archon" and "Murder Makes Strange Deadfellows" for CDTV.

Chat software: AmigaGPT 2.5.0
Cameron Armstrong has developed a chat program called AmigaGPT, which is based on ChatGPT. The software supports the latest OpenAI models including the o1 family and runs on AmigaOS 3.1 and above (including 4.1) and on MorphOS. The source code of the tool can be downloaded separately.
The new version 2.5.0 has now been released with the following changes:
- Added an ARexx menu to allow you to run your own scripts. ARexx is not yet implemented in MorphOS so you can try installing the 68k version of ARexx and see if that works.
- Added sample scripts
- Status bar background colour adjusted to improve readability
- Latest OpenAI chat models added (gpt-4.1, o3, o4-mini)
- The menu has been rewritten and now gets built dynamically. It will now automatically create menu options for all the available models. This will make adding new models much easier and quicker

Turn-based strategy game: New demo version 04/25 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 sixth demo has been released for the game.
As the developer reports in his developer diary, this is "a pretty big update to Ecliptic - it includes a whole new level."
According to the developer, the game will not run on a simple A500 with 512K chip/512K slow RAM. It is his intention that this is possible, but it is not a high priority as the game already requires a harddrive. An Amiga 1200 with HD is recommended.
