MorphZone (Forum) MorphOS: Islands Mini-Golf 1.5
In 2008 the game Islands Mini-Golf was released for Mac OS X as Shareware and now is also available for free for MorphOS. A French review you can find at Obligement.

Islands Mini-Golf requires a 3D video card as well as 128 MB RAM and features 5 themes with 90 tracks for up to four players. In the MorphOS-version there are some graphics bug (missing textures) and the online hiscores does not work. The game uses the full power of the processor, possibly caused by using PowerSDL.

The "Turbo Chameleon 64" is a FPGA-based C64 accelerator board which can be also used in the stand-alone mode. On the board a RS-232-port can be upgraded as Amiga extension using the clockport.

Jump and Run: Frank Wille announces "Solid Gold" for Amiga 500
Frank "phx" Wille (among others Sqrxz, vbcc) has announced another jump'n run game for the end of the year. "Solid Gold" is created in cooperation with the brother of Wille who is the graphic artist:

Wille describes Solid Gold as "a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous". The game was developed in assembler and features smooth 8-way-scrolling with 50 pictures per second. An Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) is required.

Currently the highscore list and the final sequence are written. Apart from "some fine-tuning" (Wille) all other work was completed. Solid Gold will be released as ADF-image. The source code will be available for free. (cg) (Translation: dr)
