AmigaOne: AmigaOS 4 boots with ATI Radeon support
Forefront Technologies which are the developers of the ATI Radeon driver for AmigaOS 4.0 on "classic" Amiga systems have announced in a press release that AmigaOS 4.0 has been booted on an AmigaOne with an ATI Radeon graphic board for the first time. Today Jürgen Schober of point.design has succeeded in booting AmigaOS under use of a forefront technology driver on an AmigaOne-XE G4 with ATI Radeon 7000.

Originally the driver should not have been ported to the AmigaOne (because SNAP driver are supposed to be used here) but there have been the need of a quickly available transition solution. The port worked without any problems.

The driver which have been successfully tested under AmigaOS 4.0 on Classic Amiga computers as well as on the AmigaOne is now in beta stadium and is currently optimized for compatibility not on speed - currently it is worked for a better blitter support.

Additionally a screenshot of AmigaOS 4 (with seperate system programs) has been published on a Radeon 7000. (cg) (Translation: dr)

First Screen-Shots of the New File-sharing Client for AmigaOS
The first screen-shots of "AmigaGift," a KaZaa client for AmigaOS, have been released (click on title link).

Update:

One of the beta testers corrected in an Amigaworld.net thread the misunderstanding that AmigaGift is a pure KaZaa client. AmiGift is said to be modularly organized and currently supports Edonkey, Gnutella and a few other protocols just starting to be offered, as well as KaZaa. (cg) (Translation: dm)

Genesi: Website for the planned computer game "Gladiateur" online
The official website for Genesi's computer game project Gladiateur (amiga-news.de reported) is now online at http://Gladiateur.PegasosPPC.com.

Gladiateur - The game

The game takes its inspiration from the stage production by Elie Chouraqui and Maxime Le Forestier, which debuts in Paris in 2004. The game allows you to take the role of Spartacus the Thracian, and lead the slaves in their revolt against the powers of Rome.

Gladiateur is a game development that will not simply lead to the release of a single game. The first release will concentrate of the War of Spartacus, but the game will evolve into a massively multi-player online realm, in which thousands of players will be able to take a part in the adventures and ambitions of the Roman world. Set against the backdrop of the Spartacan revolt, each player will be able to take a side in the rebellion or make their own way, going wherever opportunity takes them. You will be able to become a soldier or a merchant, a pirate or a politician. Players will be able to join together to form their own factions, or work alone. You will be able to live the carefree life of a wandering adventurer, build a powerful trading corporation, or rise to power in the Senate and change the very history of Roman.

The initial release of Gladiateur will use the Northland game engine from Funatics. This is a very sophisticated RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game in its own right, but in Gladiateur it will be extended to provide a unique, genre-busting experience. In the world of Gladiateur, persuasion and popularity is as important as units and resources, and tactics means a lot more than having the biggest army. This is not just another game where you build a base, defend against a few attacks, mass forces and finally rush the enemy base - this is a game set in a dynamic living world of tyrants, peasants and slaves where fear or loyalty can turn the tide of battle, and building trading links can be as important as building armies.

Gladiateur - The musical

Gladiateur is a musical stage spectacular written and produced by Eli Chouraqui, accompanied by a musical score composed by Maxime Le Forestiere. It will debut on 1 October 2004 at the Palais de Sports in Paris, and go on tour in Spring 2005. The music from the show will be released by EC7/Universal Music in 2004.

Eli Chouraqui's previous stage production was Les Dix Commandemants (The Ten Commandments), which debuted in Paris in 2000 and toured France, Switzerland, Belgium and Montreal. An English language version is due to open in 2005. Over 4 million albums, singles and DVDs of the production have already been sold. (snx)
