Scorpion Engine: Pre-versions of 'Spy Hunter', 'Wonder Boy' and 'GothicVania'
Spy Hunter is an arcade classic from Midway that is currently being converted for the Amiga with the help of the Scorpion Engine (video). The pre-release version currently available for download does not yet contain any sound effects or background music.

Ryuichi Nishizawa's 'Wonder Boy' (video) is also an arcade machine conversion: it is inspired by the first part of the Wonder Boy series, for the Amiga only the successor Wonderboy in Monsterland has been available so far. An older alpha version can be obtained from the developer's website.

'GothicVania' (video) is a 'tech demo' demonstrating the features and the AGA support of the Scorpion Engine and included in the latest version of the engine. Among other things, a triple parallax scrolling is presented. It is currently unclear whether the game will ever be developed into a complete game. (cg)

Windows: Update for the arcade games Huenison and KOG (update)
Simone Bevilacqua's game Huenison for AmigaOS 4 and Windows combines various game elements of early arcade games. The current update of the title, which was released in 2013, is intended to improve the recognition of control pads under Windows (the D-pads were occasionally recognised as thumbsticks), and the instructions have been supplemented.

Update: (16:08, 21.07.22, snx)
The same improvement has been applied to the arcade game KOG, which has been released by him 14 years ago. (snx)

Mai Logic: Research on the company history published (Update)
The PowerPC computers "AmigaOne" by Eyetech and "Pegasos (I)" by bplan used the northbridge "Articia S" by Mai Logic, whose defectiveness made it more widely known in Amiga circles. In the forum of Amigaworld.net Michael 'RTK0103' Coe has linked at the title link the results of his research on later allegations of the former Mai Logic CEO Jason Hue about Chinese industrial espionage, which according to him are not true.

Those interested in such details surrounding actual Amiga history will find there especially information about the company history of Mai Logic, formerly Mentor Arc.

Update: (08:00, 24.07.22, snx)
Link regarding "defectiveness" changed to English version of our news-item, after exchanging the Moobunny link there by its copy at Archive.org. (snx)
