Beat 'em Up: Update of Final Fight Enhanced
In late January, developer 'Prototron' released its improved version of Capcom's Final Fight written in machine language (amiga-news.de reported). Now some small fixes, a new move and a new music track have been added.
An overview of the changes:
- added new music to the elevator stage
- added guy and Maki's "off the wall jump"
- fixed a bug that crashed the game when Belger was killed with a regular punch
- removed some superfluous collision checks from Belger in an attempt to fix the stall bug
- some minor animation fixes, plus checks added to prevent some bugs that didn't halt the player during level transitions
The developer points out that the realisation is explicitly a private, non-commercial project. An ECS or AGA Amiga with 2MB Chip RAM and 512KB Fast RAM is required.

Turn-based strategy: Bugfix update May 2024 for "Settle the World"
Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel writes about his recently published update:
"The bugfix update is finished and is recommended for everyone who is still playing on the April 2024 version.
In addition to fixing bugs, the movement system of units has been reworked.
Units can now move a little more, and the player should now receive the message about too few movement points much less frequently.
Furthermore, Settle the World can now be played completely in the German language.
This also lays the technical basis for additional translations into other languages.
Of course, the game still contains bugs or features that do not yet work properly.
Settle the World is far from finished...but with this bugfix update it is much more playable than ever before.
I would be very happy to receive feedback from players about this update. The amount of work involved in creating this update was really enormous.
As always, Settle the World can be downloaded free of charge from the project page."
