`11.Jan.2003` Ralf Himmel (ANF)	Replacing floppy discs with MiniCD-RW The company Memorex will offer from Februar 2003 on rewritable CDs for the waistcoat with 8 cm in diameter as a replacement for the floppy discs. The small CD-RW that can be rewritten up to 1.000 times and can contain a maximum of 210 MB of data is suitable for mobile users. The Pocket CD-RW fits in every pocket and therefore suits perfectly for the mobile use, e.g. in the laptop, MP3 player or in the digital camera. Using the standard audio compression mode MPEG you can record 210 minutes of music. They are said to be available from February on for a price of 6,99 Euros for five Pocket CD-RWs in a slim jewel case. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 11.

`11.Jan.2003` Stefan Schulze (ANF)	Collected Dreamworlds news - Crossfire II update (update) There are many news to report: The new homepage of Dreamworlds Development is online. The base design is already complete as well as are the news and the downloads. Information about projects and the team will follow in the next few days. Until then there's a link to the old homepage. Crossfire II has experienced a big update. There's finally a demo version (download: cf2_demo.lha - 11,7 MB) and an update (download: cf2_upd101.lha), containing the following: Alternative graphics functions that don't need ChunkyPPC; solves problems of ChunkyPPC on Pegasos systems. Mission mode completely translated into German. Optionally playable in the Workbench window. The tutorial can be skipped when starting a new game. Active weapon is marked with light effect. New music piece specially for mission #11. Many missions details changed. Wrong colors when playing in 8bit without screen fading fixed. Crash in mission #26 fixed. "File not executable" error fixed. People ordering the full version now will get already the new version with all known problems fixed. The demo version is up to this level, too, and lets you play the tutorial, 2 missions from the middle of the game and test the multiplayer mode. To keep the archive small in size were all animations and musics removed. A more complete demo will be released e.g. on the next AmigaFuture CD. Crossfire II is a kind of Wing Commander seen from above with complex and varied missions, a thrilling background story, lavish effects and explosive multiplayer fights. Update: On the APC&TCP homepage have recently further screenshots of the game been released. The game is available at APC&TCP and in a few days also on the shelves in the stores.
