Chiptune tracker: Furnace V0.6 for Windows, Mac and Linux
A year and a half after the last release, a new version of Furnace is available: a tool which allows you to create music using sound chips ("chiptune"), most from the 8/16-bit era. It supports a wide range of functions and sound chips, from NES, SNES and Genesis to ES5506, VIC-20 and of course the Amiga.
Every chip is emulated using many emulation cores, therefore the sound that Furnace produces is authentic to that of real hardware. An English-language manual is available.

Platform game: Amiga port of Electro Man
Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch - among other things, platform game Tony - is in the process of porting the game Electro Man, originally published in 1992 by Polish programmers Maciej Miasik and Janusz Pelc for MS-DOS, to AGA Amigas (YouTube-Video). FastRam is not mandatory, but recommended. Joystick or keyboard can be used. So far the game has only 2 levels, but the second level is very difficult according to the developer.

Music track: "White King" with ProTracker visualisation
Since version 1.1, ProTracker (Aminet version 3.61) has a Quadrascope: ProTracker visualises the sound waveform for each channel in four small windows. 'no9' has now written a Protracker module and published it on his YouTube channel that not only plays the music but also displays visual effects in these four small windows at the same time. According to the author, it could be a "world first" in this form, as he had never seen this approach in ProTracker before.
The track was written especially for this purpose, always looking to see if what looks good also sounds good and vice versa.
