Dealer: Turtle Lightning Amiga Software (Texas) goes out of business Turtle Lightning Amiga Software has been in business since 1992 supplying Amiga users all over the world with quality affordable software and hardware. Owned and operated by Terry Fike out of Midland, Texas, USA, Turtle Lightning Amiga Software has finally decided to go out of the Amiga business.
Accordingly, all of our prices are rock-bottom, and when a title sells
out it will be removed from the catalog. Prices are just pennies on the
dollar of the original retail, so get 'em while they last! (ps) |

AROS Update from 12.02.2002 Work on the Amiga Research Operating System is making progress. Details of the most recent development can be found over at the AROS website (title link). In summary, various bugs all over AROS have been dealt with, a lot of changes to the underlying framework (the build process) were introduced, the Palm flavor has been worked on and both minor and major enhancements have been made (including the long awaited "pci.hidd", which is meant to communicate with all sorts of hardware within the computer thru higher level hardware interfaces, such as the brand new "nvidia.hidd" - although still in a juvenile stage, the "Hardware Independant Device Driver"-system is expected to grow in the future).

Amiga Future: New Q2 Screenshots There are some new Screenshots of our Quake 2 port (which is in the final stages of developement) available at the interactive section of Amiga Future (see title link).
This time these screenshots are coming from the "engine modification"
Q2Max. With our port we are optionally adding support for Q2Max.
There will be two executables in our port, one for the "normal"
Quake 2, and one for Q2Max. Q2Max enhanced (among other things)
the particle effects of Quake 2 in a *major* way (the new effects
really remind a bit of Quake 3 IMHO!) There is no big speed loss.
Please note, that Q2Max has quite huge memory requirements - but well,
it is only optionally. You can as well run the "normal" Quake 2
executable. Both executables are included in the port and can be
installed parallely. Both Quake 2 and Q2Max can be played together
in Multiplayer without any problems. Steffen Haeuser.

Story: Fighting Nintendo by means of a fly swat In the middle of the 80s Nintendo had with NES a market share of 90% in the US and in Japan. In the above Telepolis article Konrad Lischka describes Sega's idea to opt out of Nintendo and create his own market. By means of Sega Console a new market for adults was established since also older people without any PC experience could now find easy access to video games. When Sega's home console 'Master System' only gained a market share of 10% and the computer manufacturer NEC 1989 didn't have any success with his home console 'TurboGrafx-16', Rosen said: "A Nintendo culture does exists and to compete with it is extremely difficult. The difference between the marketing concepts of both companies becomes particularly apparent for the Mega Drive if we look at the fighting game 'Mortal Kombat'. The version of 'Mortal Kombat' which was released in 1993 for Sega's Mega Drive did away with any moral considerations: The Sega version allows you to rip off the enemies' heads and to rip out their hearts. The makers cheered: "On average Genesis¹ has, compared to Nintendo, customers of a higher age so that this will be the market with the highest growth for the second half of the 90s", according to Electronic Arts Manager Bing Gordon in 1993. The complete article is available via the title link. Genesis¹: Mega Drive's brand name in the US. (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 17.
