Rycerze Mroku ("Twilight Knights") available for download
Thanks to Benedykt Dziubaltowski who obtained permission from the publisher and the author, the polish game Rycerze Mroku (title of the never before released english version: "Twilight Knights") is free for download from the title link at PPA.
On PPA there is also a review of the game available and an interview with the main coder.
In the interview, Mariusz Włodarczyk is talking about the process of the development of the game. He mentions some interesting information how the characters were made and how the clothes were prepared. Some pictures of armour and mask can be found in the polish-only articles as well. (snx)

New German Printmagazin: RETRO
"Retro" is a new german Printmagazin, but only in german language.
German notification:
"Retro" ist der Trend unserer Zeit - daran gibt es
keinen Zweifel. Menschen erinnern sich gerne an Musik,
Mode und Fernsehsendungen aus Kindheit, Jugend und den
frühen Erwachsenentagen. Sie mischen alte Erinnerungen
mit dem Lebensgefühl der Gegenwart und haben viel Spaß
dabei. 80er-Shows, Hit-Remixes und Neuauflagen
zahlreicher Computerspieleklassiker machen es vor.
Die "gute alte Zeit" lebt wieder auf. Denn "Retro"
heißt eigentlich "rückwärtsgewandt" - doch RETRO, das
neue Magazin aus dem CSW-Verlag, ist alles andere als
das. Hier wird nichts verklärt und der Vergangenheit
nicht hinterher geweint - hier werden stattdessen mit
den Highlights vergangener Tage Gegenwart und Zukunft
gestaltet. Digital, multimedial und grenzenlos. RETRO
füllt somit die Lücke im Bereich digitaler Retrotrends
auf einzigartige Weise.
Spannend, humorvoll und stilsicher - RETRO bietet
alles aus dem Kosmos des digitalen Lifestyles. Das
Magazin berichtet über Hard- und Software für
Retrofans, stellt aber auch die Menschen und Storys
im Hintergrund vor. Mit dem regelmäßigen Blick auf
Events in aller Welt informiert RETRO über alle
Aspekte der digitalen Retrokultur. Eine CD-ROM liegt
übrigens ebenfalls jedem Magazin bei - voll gepackt
mit Videos, Sounds und Spielen aus der Retroszene.
In der aktuellen Ausgabe kommen neben dem unangefochtenen
Lieblingscomputer C64 auch Atari und Amiga nicht zu kurz.
Dazu gibt es Longplays klassischer Spielehighlights,
Hardwaretests, Audio-News, bissige Satire, Interviews
und sogar ein Gewinnspiel. Mit etwas Glück kann man
neben dem Hauptpreis, einer Reise an die türkische
Riviera auch eine echte Retrotapete sowie ein C64DTV,
den C64 im Joystick, gewinnen.
Leseprobe: www.go64.de.
RETRO ist ab sofort im Zeitschriftenhandel, bei
Amazon oder per Direktbezug über
www.csw-verlag.de/shop
erhältlich. (nba) (Translation: aj)

MorphOS: Vector graphics program SteamDraw 0.6R6
In the new version 0.6R5 of Stefan Kleinheinrich's 2D vector graphics program for MorphOS, SteamDraw, primarily some errors were corrected, so that it should now run cleanly under MUI 3.9 as well as MUI 4-alpha and not forget any windows when closing.
A solution was found for the longer lasting problem, that SteamDraw crashed when activating the Arc-Tools, as well.
Furthermore, changes in the generated EPS code were carried out and some problems when moving objects in the positions list were corrected.
Now, SteamDraw requires no Assign anymore either - but those who want to start it via project files should specify the corresponding path as default program in the "images/file" icon.
Likewise new are the subtools in the polygon tool for creating rhombi, deltoids and parallelograms.
Download: SteamDraw.lha (848 KB)
Update: (28.06.2006, 20:30, cg)
In the meantime, version 0.6R6 is available, in which some Enforcer hits during the start activity were corrected. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Individual Computers: new Catweasel driver for Windows/delays
For Windows 2000/XP there's a new Catweasel driver available. As most important change it uses the Kylwalda part of the Catweasel MK4. So the floppy drive can be switched from the onboard floppy controller to the Catweasel and back.
Furthermore does Individual Computers announce under the title link that there will be some delay in delivering the turbo card for the A 600 and the Amiga&n500 version of the IDE controller Buddha because of some remittance work. It is aked not to enquire these products.
There are also some news regarding the delivery: because of insurance wise reasons there's a store since April in use that is 11 km away from the bureau so that because of time saving reasons from August on packages are only delivered on Tuesday. Therefore it could happen that some web shops list some articles as "not available" though they are available at Individual Computers. All products would be indeed availabe in big numbers almost at once. (snx) (Translation: wk)
