Turrican 2002 download for PC
The freeware game "Turrican 2002" is now available for PC and can now be downloaded. You can find further information at the title link.

If there was a cult game for the Amiga, then it was "Turrican". A game, which set at that time new yardsticks and influenced lastingly a whole category. The third and last part of the "Turrican" series for Amiga was released in 1993. (ps) (Translation: sk)

e.p.i.c.: Knights & Merchants for MorphOS starts shipping
Today e.p.i.c. interactive started shipping the Empire Builder Knights & Merchants, which is now the first commercially available game for MorphOS. Knights&Merchants retails at EUR 49,95 and requires a Pegasos with 600 Mhz, 64 MByte RAM and MorphOS 1.0 or better. More information on this Real Time Strategy game can be found in the projects section of our homepage (title link).

Knights and Merchants can be described as a strategic economy simulation. In the main, the economics play a major role in this real-time action game. The player can manufacture different products, making use of numerous buildings and producer goods of the Middle Ages period. He can use his serfs to construct and maintain buildings and roads. The economical structuring is very specific. You manufacture finished products using various raw materials which go through your production processes. All these manufacturing systems are highly detailed and visually understandable, enabling fast and dependable control of your economy. One result of all your productive labors is the manufacture of weapons and armor. But the logistics, too, are really worth a mention. You decide where and how merchandise will be transported on the network of streets which you yourself have planned and constructed.

Your serfs transport all wares between buildings, so your town planning plays a major role in production time per building, and, resulting from that, just how efficient your economy as a whole is going to be. Transported goods are displayed graphically. Each figure in the game has his/her own mission area and carries out individual tasks independently. They don't depend on your commands or actions. You, the player, only give indirect commands for the construction of buildings, streets, corn fields, etc. However, you do have complete control of the military units.

Dealers please contact GTI/Schatztruhe. (ps)
