»All began with the Commodore C-64 and the successor Amiga whose popularity came from the fact that there was an almost unmanageable number of games for these computers. In addition were their technical characteristics for graphics and sound far superior to those of a PC of that time - and all this for a childroom compatible price.«

Amiga Arena: interview with Heinrich Tillack (AStarC)
New PD or shareware games can be found more and more seldom on the Aminet. The more pleasing it is that with "AStarC" a clone of the Arcade classic "Star Castle" by Cinematronics released in the year 1980 gives a welcome change! Heinrich Tillack, the developer, answered the questions of the Amiga Arena. (ps) (Translation: wk)

AMCLUST: To the AMIGA community
Dear AMIGA community,

in the coming year the AMCLUST (Amiga Club Steinfurt, Germany) celebrates its 15th year. When I founded the club with two friends in September 1987 I wouldn't have thought that we would still stick with our "old" AMIGA 15 years later. And I am not alone, even if the number of members has decreased rapidly in the last years. Remaining is the "hard core" for which it's worth to steer the AMCLUST towards its 20th year. more ...

Graphics Adventure Engine: Update of 'Inga'
A new udpate of the graphics adventure engine "Inga" is available on the Inga homepage (title link), from now on. The following has changed:
  • The sound plugin now enables voice and sound output via AHI.
  • RAM cache system reworked.
  • CLI programs can be executed with the "Extern" command.
  • Single character animations are only loaded if required.
  • Animations now appear as fast as if the engine would run at 20 fps (no frames skipped)
  • The scroll text in sequences now also moves with constant speed, independant of the actual number of fps.
  • No more mouse pointer in sequences, anymore.
  • Characters can be displayed that far on top of the screen, that e.g. only the feet are visible (this would have caused graphic erros in the past).
  • Running characters will reach their target point accurate on pixel (previously only roughly).
  • Animated objects can be displayed as still picture, whereas the single picture to be viewed can be set using Inga-Skript (see compendium under "Objekt-Standbild").
  • Objects "bound" to the mouse pointer are now displayed along with thier animation.
  • PlugIn system reworked (safer now).
  • PlugIns can be disabled by thier options (tooltypes).
  • Miscelleanous little bugs fixed.
So, only audio CD support is still missing, now. (ps) (Translation: mj)
